Whatever folk are willing to bid. They are too rare for a price to be pinned on them. I'd guess you may not be far out though.Originally Posted by tapid

Seller says he bought them from Emporium for £750. Emporium always ask top dollar these days so knock off 20% from that and you're about right.
They may be rare and very good but people don't want big, 1970s looking speakers anymore so that affects the value more than anything.

I'd imagine that combination of driver and crossover may work rather well. It's not a question of the crossover "driving". The 1kHz crossover is basically similar for the 15" and 12" units and should give decent enough results, although the sensitivity of the 15" driver is slightly higher.Have you seen these Tannoy Pumas Geoff - Weird they appear to have Cheviot MKII XOvers for some reason

Well they'll certainly sound like proper Tannoys. The 15" driver is a close relative of the 12" one in my Cheviot II speakers and mine are the best sounding Tannoys I've owned bar none. And, yes, I've had Monitor Golds and HPD's.
The Puma is a compact stage monitor and not designed for deep bass. Those drivers are crying out for some big cabinets.
The SRM 15X is essentially the same driver in a decent sized cabinet. A pair of those will likely set you back a couple of grand.

If you were interested in them, it might be best to establish that they do have the 3128 crossovers and not just the terminal plate. Although the drivers are worth a few quid anyway.
