Aye. They are in Bristol without cartons. 650 sovs seems a little on the steep side too. I may be wrong

Or even a pair of Paladins

I had crusader mk2 here for a while, a lovely speaker for sure. In the end I preferred my Triangles, for a livelier, more vivid presentation. I'd imagine the newer Triangles (with more refined HF and better cabs) to be somewhere in between? Out of budget though.

I'll keep a lookout!

Yes I thought so. Thanks for verifying

Did you not have Ruark Crusader 3 a while back Steve? I thought they sounded superb.

Some possibly for sale here (https://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/considering-a-clearout.236455/), but no pictures yet. Also, they are in Kent... Who would be crazy enough to traverse the country like that for a pair of loudspeakers? Oh wait...

They're the first I've seen for sale so far.

They're the first I've seen for sale so far.I sent a PM a few minutes ago registering an interest for you (as in OP).

Much as I enjoyed my time with Crusader 2, I'm not planning on going back to them!

However, I would consider storing them on Steve's behalf if he wanted, I'm in East Sussex. That might give him time to arrange carriage.
