The pair I was thinking of was about £250 and recently added, they could have been on the wam and then deleted. Will keep looking.

This was them, found them on hifi shark, horn speakers filtered on UK, expired ads, seem to have been in Boston, maybe someone on here bought them..?

ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

How about a lovely pair of Klipsch Belle's, very very rare in the UK
The best speaker I ever heard was a pair of Klipsch La Scalas which are similar to the Belle's

Hi, it's funny, but I had long exchanges with the gentleman selling it and was seriously considering it. It's just that these speakers seem to polarise people more than Rehdeko speakers. Some like it a lot and some think it's the worst speakers ever made. I've never heard K'horns or Belles or LaScalas. I'm just afraid that they'll be too harsh and not enough bass. Any opinions? I currently have 2 pairs of speakers that I'm happy with - Artemis Eos - very similar to Willson Watt Puppies with external crossovers and ceramic tweeters and Rehdeko RK125 - those love valves. What I like about the Rehdekos is dynamics and that each instrument lives in its separate space - it sounds like there are as many different speakers as there are instruments. So, that type of sound ;-)
Martin I didn't find the La Scala harsh sounding but I think they really should be used with valves. I owned Heresy's twice and although I liked them I wouldn't own them a third time, however the La Scala's and almost certainly the Belle's are different entirely
The La Scala's that I heard where being driven by a valve amp that was literally falling to bits and they still sounded amazing. I had a loan pair but they were just to big for the room
I would consider those Belle's at £1,800 or offer an absolute bargain

Thanks for this. That was my thinking as well and I made the guy an offer but we couldn't quite agree on the price and I thought - what happens if I don't like them and would hate to go through selling again... Do you think that the Belles would be a better choice over Agathons? Obviously, 2 different people would say a different thing...
