Wanted - Budget Standmount Speakers

[Marvt74]

Having moved on my "coffin speakers" as the wife called them prior to moving house. I'm looking for something to fill a void until we get settled and i work out what i can fit in the new house.

Something around the North West would be preferable so i'm not wasting money on couriers given it'd eat up a fair chunk of my budget but if something suitable comes up elsewhere i'd consider it.

Would ideally prefer something of a larger standmount but would also consider a small footprint floor stander.

Budget is up to around £150

Cheers

Hi Martyn,

I have Q-acoustics 2020i in gloss black boxed in mint condition.

Yours for £80 plus postage

Regards Steve...

I'd have a look for some Mission 780SEs in your area, Martyn.
They're fairly common and you should be able to find a pair for £50-100 I would think.

I've owned mine from new and they still sound fantastic. I use them every day on my desktop system with a vintage Trio amp, but if you've got anything beefier then they tend to reward more power too.

Martyn, I have a pair of B&W DM603's that you are welcome to borrow indefinitely. I haven't used them for years, so there'd be no rush to return them.

They could tide you over while you find that "perfect bargain". I too live in Chorley.

I must emphasise they are not for sale, they're just a loaner.

Hi Steve (Pigmy Pony)

That is incredibly generous of you, however i sadly must decline. We have 2 small very excitable dogs and 2 teenagers! I couldn't guarantee the speakers wouldn't pick up any marks /damage, especially as we're in the process of moving so everything is getting shifted around and i don't think i could cope with the worry!

Steve (STD305M) - Thanks for the offer but i think these might be a little small for me and i'd end up constantly looking for something a little bigger anyway.



As an update I've found some B&W DM602 S2's for sale locally for £90 which doesn't seem a bad price. It's amazing how these have held their value. They were my second set of "proper" speakers i bought back in 2006 and i'm sure i move them on for a similar price.

Got these B&O MC120.2 you could have for £120. 3 way with dome midrange, Volt drivers. Got the integral stands too but they need some work.

They are the ones on the stands:
