These are my 2nd pair of 508s, regrettably sold my other pair last year and since bought another set! These have been used for TV A/V duties so light use only - my display has a built in 2 channel amplifier and does a great job of driving these, but we are swapping it out for something newer (it's an old "pro" grade pioneer plasma). Hence, I would need to purchase (another) amp to make these sing again. I'd rather not, and still have my wee TD308s to fall back on should the itch return.
The sound from these speakers is really impressive - they have a decent mid bass thump but don't go down low, so a sub would be recommended for real impact. However their transient response and ability to resolve micro dynamics more than makes up for this - they are very high resolution and detailed. While lacking visceral impact for certain music their sense of speed and rhythm does a great job of conveying what is going on. Brilliant speakers for late night / morning "quiet" listening and also really good for movies (speech and ambient noise is clear as a bell - it's like having high quality headphones on with out the discomfort). They particularly shine with vocals, acoustic music, piano and jazz.
They are in excellent condition and fully boxed, I got them cheaper than the last set so selling at a knocked down price.
£250
