Please could someone give me advice on how much I should ask for these speakers? They are the original hand made by Richard Allen in near mint condition. Circa 2009/10.
They don't come up very often.

Kind Regards

£150-175 would be about right.

Have a look at HiFi Shark for past listings (https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=EB+Acoustics+EB1).

If in excellent condition (both visually and SQ) I'd suggest starting near the top - circa ~£400

Thank you to you both

Thats quite a big difference between 175 and 400.

I was thinking about £350

I think I might put them for sale on here.

Kind Regards

They were less than £500 new, so that is likely to be a bit on the high side. There's a pair on PFM at £195.

Woo - I'd have them at £150! That is if I did not have so many speakers currently.

Wow, that seems very low for the quality of speaker. Is the one of the newer Arcaydis version or the limited Richard Allen hand made version?

This review appears to be of the originals.

They are brilliant speakers . I can't tell from the PFM ad which version they were.

Looks like they'll sell at £195. As a rule I usually pay 30-35% of new for my speakers, they seem to hold their value less than amps and other gear, probably because people chop and change them more often due to room reaction etc.
