I spent yesterday afternoon up the road chez Topps, and had a most excellent time.
All I have to say is "Tony, your new speakers are unfuckingbelievably good"!
I've heard them a few times while they were being built and developed (coz they're an Edingdale MkII hybrid), but the last crossover tweak has nailed it.

I'm tempted to go back up the road and steal them :eyebrows:

Well if you do then help us out and take some photos will you please ☺ On the Wam they used to say 'if there's no photos it didn't happen', though I suspect that's a corruption of an old policeman's mantra...

Colin has kept me constantly updated with the development process providing pictures of the build along the way.

Chris thanks for you and Scotts input greatly appreciated.

I heard mk1s at Colins place when me and my good lady visited to pick up my 57s-the sound never left me.

Really looking forward to getting them plumbed in.

Colin has been great to deal with....its really nice getting something bespoke built for you.

I own a set of the MK1 and had a good listen to the MK11 when Colin brought a pair down to a mini fest at my place in November. Not heard the hybrids yet but if they sound even better than the MK11 version........
Tony, you are in for a real treat, you lucky lad.

I don't believe there is any build without photos the thread is worthless. You may just as well e mail each other

I have been selling a few bits and bobs to soften the blow but hell, im worth it!!!

I think VFM Colins speakers are second to none.

I love all my speakers statics/frubgels/spendors but the Eddindales are something else in terms of bass articulation, scale and imaging.

My good lady was involved from the get go regards finish and had seen the quality when we visited Colin.

The beautiful aesthetics is a bonus but i was buying them for the sound they make to be honest.

Ive heard Garys a number of times and was in awe of the sheer scale and delicacy they could produce.....just had to save up my pennies and scratch that itch!

Maybe the last set of speakers you’ll own, short of a lottery win Tony.
Seriously good, look forward to a listen.

Takes a while for them to properly break in, so enjoy the ride mate. :thumbsup:
