FS: Edingdales

[Ashmore]

Well I never thought I'd be doing this - and I've hovered over the 'post' button for half an hour - but my other Reiver speakers are getting more use (because of the room size), and something has to go. So... here are my Mk1 Edingdales in oak. They are in fabulous condition and come with magnetic grilles and spikes.

Condition is great; they haven't been abused - nor have they been over-driven - having been on the end of a 300b SET their whole lives. Though not pictured, these come with the adjustable control for the tweeter which is on the rear of the speakers.

dimensions:
240mm Wide
430mm Deep
1130mm High

£800 from Faversham in Kent.

Bump for a fantastic pair of speakers at a great price.
Snap 'em up whilst you can!

[struth]

yes an eddy owner too.. great speakers and work with pretty much anything

[AJSki2fly]

I have sent details to a friend who really needs to replace his speakers, whether he goes for them is another matter.

[Ashmore]

Thanks gents, much appreciated.

Very lovely indeed! Reminiscent of the Mission 753s (I think that’s the model) in look. Cracking value and they certainly seem well regarded.

[steveinspain]

I've only just heard about these speakers so don't know anything except that they are highly regarded from the little I've read (so far...)
Can they be upgraded to mk2 spec easily, and what is involved and can they be placed fairly close to a back wall, say 20cm from back of cabinet to wall - the front port implies they can.

Also, are they collection only or could they be couriered to Cornwall - if not, are you in a rush to get rid of them - I get up to London every few weeks..

[struth]

yup should be fine near walls. they have an l pad for adjusting tweeter too. dont really know what the changes are for mk 2 but may be drivers. mk1's were the best

[Ashmore]

Hi Steve

I'm in no rush, and would rather not courier. They are pretty large beasties - I'm not even sure how I'd go about wrapping them :)

I'm afraid I don't know specifically if they can be upgraded to Mk2 spec but as Struth suggests I would assume not. I think Colin changed the drive units in second and subsequent versions.

My experience is that they work well close to a wall. You'll inevitably get some bass reinforcement but you don't get that odd sonic boom that sometimes comes from rear ported jobbies similarly positioned.

What happened to the rear connection photos :scratch:

Got my eye on these if my Revolver Cygnis sell , will make you an offer .

Good point Allen....this is a none compliant advert...;)

[walpurgis]

Yes, this needs addressing promptly.

Thanks Simon - OK, I'll have a think. I've got no need for any speakers, but since when did that make any difference..?
They certainly look lovely, I'll consult with my wife and see what I can sell on to raise some funds in the off chance that they don't sell before I am in a position to start to get serious.
Meanwhile a bit more reading is likely to take place..

[walpurgis]

Still waiting for a rear view.

The Mk2 happened because the drive units used in the Mk1 were discontinued and could no longer be sourced. Having heard both MK1 and Mk2 my preference was for the MK1.

Really good speakers and I don't say that lightly. Bargain at the price, GLWS.

[Glb]

Hi do these require a large room or carful positioning ?.

[vinylspinner]

My MK1 pair work perfectly in my small listening room, just slightly toed in. No plans to change them anytime soon.
They just work happily in most rooms tbh, including hotel rooms at shows.

[Glb]

that's what i was hoping for my room is a good size at the moment but we are down sizing in nov to a medium size room , also good to know they can be set up normally rather in corners or with drastic toe in like some . have pm Simon Direct , hope they will love Cornwall .

[Gazjam]

Only reason I sold my MK1 Edingdales was I had a chance to revisit a schoolboy crush (Impulse H2) at a decent price from a mate.

When I first heard the Edingdales they stole my Heart, so needed to own a pair.
Commercial...Quality wise?... these speakers are 10K easy.

[Glb]

Nice to know just awaiting simon to message back so i can seal the deal .

[Ashmore]

Hi Chris

I've just responded to your PM. As for room positioning - they're much less fussy than their size might suggest. A little space helps any speaker of course, but in my experience 30cm or side and back eliminates the nasties.
