These
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JBL-UREI-8...3D161665038395
are, at the moment a bit more reasonably priced...I'd be asking if the treble horns are still functioning, but if so, and they just need re foaming, Billy Bargain. You can get original treble diaphragms on ebay, but they're not cheap. Might still be worth it though.
I have Urei 811's, bigger than these with 15" drivers (809's are 12") and after a little restoration and modification, they're very good indeed. Urei's were designed to be soffit mounted, so work well positioned right in to corners, unlike most hi-fi speakers. Working well, fed a clean signal (and they'll obligingly make you aware if its not), they're an intoxicatingly open window and dynamically will show a clean pair of heels to most speakers.

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

Don't know it. Conical tip, medium compliance, average tracking weight. Probably a lower end model. Not dear though and probably sounds OK.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Very nice.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
