They dont look to be anything special. I wouldnt pay more than £10 for them. And only then if they are mint and sound good.

There are much better to be had for £40.

Technics did make some great speakers in their time, but they are not some of them imo. These are though, only heard them once...

Bloody marvelous things , you should try one sometime ;)

One of the very few good French inventions :eyebrows:

Take a look at the small Jamo speakers which sound very good indeed and are inexpensive.

Some do have rear facing reflex ports so might not be suitable for siting close to rear walls

My mate, who wasn't short of a bob or two, had a pair of those around '79/'80, I remember salivating over them at the time...phase contrast was all the rage back then ;)

I seem to remember that they were on castors :eyebrows:
