WTD: Smallish bookshelf/standmount speakers

[Stryder5]

Hi guys,

Looking for the above, condition of enclosure not really important as I may refinish anyway, as long as they work as they should.

I'm putting together another small footprint system, using a passive pre and a Parasound Zamp ( or 2) what have you got lying around hiding in cupboards, loft, anywhere, so I can continue experimenting (playing around).

TIA

GaryGet some Mission 780SE speakers. They are ridiculously good for the small footprint.

I've got some Gale gold monitors, they are the same as the jpw gold monitors but with ported cabinets. The tweeters are very nice in these, the woofers are not bad either. The cabinets have had some serious knocks to the corners and they have black masking tape covering these. Might be better if i sent the drivers and crossover packed in a box? They are somewhere else at the moment but I might be able to get hold of them at the weekend.

Are the cabinets unusable then?

Thanks I'll have a look.

My old Triangle Titus are for sale on PFM. You won't get much better.

[Lawrence001]

Are the cabinets unusable then?No not unusable, I never noticed the tape when in use, but if you took it off there'd be some crumbling board underneath I suspect. £20 plus postage (which would be cheaper if drivers only which was my point) would do it. I'd have to see if I can get them to me though.

Hi

If you are into a refinishing project I have a pair of Proac Studio1s with dual pillar sand filled Target stands.

The stands could do with a repaint and the speakers really could do with refinishing; some minor dinks to 1 cabinet, a small piece of veneer missing on the other cabinet and both grilles need recovering.

These still sound very good for size - was using them on the end of a Meridian 200 system for quite a few years.

I am asking £300 on collection. Delivery may be possible but would be at your expense.


Regards

Pete

Sealed design. Perfect for a bookshelf.

I have a set of Quad S1 bookshelf you could have for £300 + postage (£499 new).

They are mint, in original packaging, grills still in the sealed poly bags.

Current Quad model as per here: http://quad-hifi.co.uk/product-detail.php?pid=22

Got lots of good reviews, especially good at vocals and acoustic instruments.

Mine are Black.

A bit touchy? No offence meant but I can't see anywhere where you've declined anything and as for thread highjacking, no comment, please refer to the first 3 words.
