Purchased from Andyrlb in the summer, I've enjoyed these - rather superb with my Radford STA100 - but time to let them go to an other owner.

These are from the mid-70s and like a bit of power up them - they were nice with the Radford STA25 but really came into their own with the 100w amp with more oomph and lower bass. They sounded very good indeed with 60w+ solid state too and I'm fairly sure that this was what they were designed to be used for.

Sound is detailed, extended, well balanced and very engaging - think Spendor SP1 or Celestion Ditton 44 which are both similar-ish three-way designs. The Radford was a premium speaker in its day.

See Andy's thread here, the condition is the same - https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?58769-Radford-m-90-%A3170&highlight=radford+m90

See also his thread where he re-capped them https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?58708-Radford-monitor-m-90

I'm looking for £120 collected from the Bracknell/Reading area - happy to meet up for a handover in a sensible radius. No problem to demonstrate with the Radford amp.

Andy has kindly allowed me to use his pics (since my photography is not so good):

Edwardian of this Parish has a set of these which i had a listen to this last Saturday, very good indeed. This is a hell of a lot of speaker for relatively very little money!!
Very nice looking to..

Yes, that's a lot of speaker for a very reasonable price. Radford always did make good speakers.
.
Good luck with the sale.

Just to say in response to queries I will measure these tonight but they aren't nearly as huge as they appear in the pics, I would say tall standmounts rather than floorstanders. I used them best on short stands.

Absolutely bargain, I had the same pair and sold on eBay for ~£500 to a buyer from Hong Kong.
They will surprise you with correct stands, rock will sound very good!
