Purchased a while back from Oliver of this forum.
Sealed box with a big driver. Sound great,big and rich no fatigue, but certainly not slow.
Don't need much power either.
They look very tidy for their age,thanks to Oliver's effort. Grills and Spare driver too.
one cab is a very slightly darker shade, not to the extent the photos suggest.


I'm thinking of trying something bigger.

Looking for £275 collected from Chesterfield
thanks mart

Very sad to see these for sale. I sincerely hoped that they had found a "forever home" but alas, talking to Mart (good guy BTW) he informs me that he's selling them on BECAUSE of how much of an impression they have made on him.

Seems the step up in quality has prompted the desire for another upgrade (hope he's got deep pockets, coz that's what it'll take!)

Anyway, these are great speakers for the money. Longest serving part of my system untill I dropped ultra lucky on my 880s.

GLWS, I hope they find a deserving home.

Surprised these haven't sold yet. It's heck of a lot of efficient speaker for the money.

These are fabulous sounding speakers. I have heard them many times and they impress. JBL type of sound but with better top end detail.

These are a steal at this price.

Do you have a photo with the grilles on? Might help the sale as they are very nice in a retro way. Also do you have any information about refoams that may have been done in the past?

Walpurgis did the tweeter refoam and did a rather cracking job with what looked like a faithful to the original type of approach. Obviously, I have no way of knowing how closely they match the original foam from a technical aspect but its certainly going to be closer than the more recent rubber versions.

I do have pics with the grills but finding them could be an issue.

I'll try and post a link to the refurb thread if I can find it.

There aren't gonna be many speakers out there for this money, that sound as good.

Bargain, heard a set of these owned by Pete (obscure). Great energy and a nice top end. Bottom end has great speed but less heft than JBL so will work well in smaller rooms.
Personally i think the sonic balance veers closer to the NS1000 and they look cool (sans grilles).
A veritable bargain :)

I think they look cool avec grilles :lol:

Seeing that image with the grilles on has immediately taken me back to when I was a little’un. My Dad had some Sanyo speakers with a similar finish - and a ‘Music Centre’ (remember them?!). :D
