Hi,

I'm looking for a pair of floorstanders up to about £300.

Not fussy about ported/sealed but must be within collection distance of Bristol or Barry as I want to avoid couriers.

Anybody got anything?

cheers

Rich.

I like the Calindas. They are a decent progression from the Cadenza and sound and image much better. A real bargain at that price. You'll have everybody else after them! :)

That sounds very tempting. Might be a bit far though, but thank you.

No problem. They are sat here unused so could do with a good home. Might help narrow down your search if you elaborate on what you are after, is it for your main system or A/V or something else?

Hello Rich,

Must they be floor standing? I have a nice set of Harbeth HL3 on stands, fitted with new hf units, they sound very good indeed.....£275

They actually sound like a real bargain.

I'm looking for something for my brother, he uses an old Nad amp, his Castles have just given up and he fances a change. They are for main 2 channel stereo use only.

Hi Nigel,

I'd be/am very tempted to try the Harbeths, but my brother is only after floorstanders unfortunately.

The Harbeths are a lot of speaker for the money and should be easy to move on. The Heybrook Pointfive stands are cheap used and raise the Harbeth to around the correct height.

I have some of the stands spare but postage would be a lot and I am London based.

Hi Rich,

I've got a couple of pairs of really nice Rega floorstanders which might be of interest to you.
A lovely pair of Ela Mk2s in cherry....

And a superb sounding pair of Rega XELs which used to retail for around £1150 back in the day....http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh114/Karma_train/Ebay%20Uploads/DSC00258_zps6436b782.jpg

I live in the Taunton area so a meet in Bristol would be more than feasible.
Looking for £150-ish for the Elas and £250-ish for the XELs.

All the best,

Charlie.

I've got a pair ofr black Mission 704A semi active floorstanders available for £200.
In good nick along with manual and original boxes/packaging & spikes.
I've had a lot of fun with these but I think that it is time for a change.

Thanks for all the offers. Looking at a pair this week so the search is temporarily on hold.

Charlie, those Regas look lovely by the way.
