I have for sale a rather nice pair of 57s.

They have been in my Stewardship for about 5 years.

They have patina consummate with there age but sound as good as 57s can.

They have OTA(one thing audio) limiters fitted which stops them being over driven and I recently added widgets which help them present a more reasonable load to solid state amps.

Colin Topps made the stands and side cheeks in American walnut that position them at the correct height and improve rigidity-minimising flex in the panels.

They are on original bulgin plugs but a 5m shielded mains cable on one rung can be cut down into to lengths.

I would prefer buyer collection and demonstration prior to purchase.

Im asking £700

I hope they find a good home-they have given me immeasurable pleasure....only surmounted by Mr Topps latest addition to my system.

Tim....you know you want to!

If no members adopt them they will be going back to the cold dark cellar-no 57 should suffer such a cruel fate!

These are still for sale...price drop to £600.

I would really prefer for the purchaser to hear them prior to rehousing them.

Original feet and side cheeks included in the sale.

These are still for sale.

I have a pair of 63s that need some TLC that I would throw in for the same money OR would anyone be willing to swap for a DD turntable?

Preferably a techie!!!
