FS - Edingdale speakers (handmade by Colin Topps)

[RichB]

Much needed home repairs forces sale. Looking for £650 firm.

These speakers will be familiar to many of this parish as the work of master craftsman Colin Topps (Toppsy). These were I believe his prototype MK1 for what would lead to the MK2 and later Norge designs. Highly sensitive so sound great with low power valves, but also seem to like Arcam watts up them. These big boys give you scale and depth in abundance. There's a separate tweeter sensitivity dial on the back, I like them not far off fully open. Whilst they've never been out of the house under my ownership these were a demo pair previously used at various shows and bake offs so there are some minor cosmetic blemishes hopefully highlighted in the pics.

Full and interesting thread on these speakers and some of their development here:

Needless to say they're pretty big and fairly heavy so collection from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear or I can deliver them with a reasonable radius for petrol costs. PM me to discuss. Note, guitar shown in the pics is for scale and not included in the sale but you can make me an offer if you want it.

Cash, PayPal gift and cleared bank transfer accepted.

Damn it! I've wanted a pair of these for a while now! If only you were closer, I would have snapped these up straight away :(

Bargain at the price.

Maybe start a separate thread to see if the AoS old boy taxi network can help us out?

[mad-moon]

Great speakers Nathan, you won't be disappointed. I have actually listened to this pair in my place before buying my set.

I sure the good folk at AOS will help you out. I have to go up to Rugby at some point soon if that helps, maybe someone can get them down that far.

Community network section I think.

I'd be prepared to drive them as far as York or Leeds if that helps.

[sumday]

that looks like a YAMAHA F 410.....if you decide to keep it, get a compensated bridge saddle fitted.
I got one on mine and she seems to play and sound sweeter.

NIGE.

You're ok they've sold anyway 😉

[Gazjam]

Someone just bought themselves a tremendous set of speakers (unless they have 6 grand speakers already?) :)

[Macca]

They sure did. I was trying to find a reason not to buy them when they were demmed at NEBO And failed. Steve jumped in before me though.
