My pair of QUAD 2805s have to go! For domestic peace, as my wife just doesn't like the size of them. The height isn't a problem, it's the width, as she can't get to the shelves behind and I can't reposition them.
They were serviced by One Thing Audio last October, just before I purchased them. Initially there was a buzz on one of them, which I thought was a dust-cover, but turned out to be a rare fault in a bass panel, which was replaced under warranty. So now there is a new spare dust-cover, including the frame, which wasn't needed.
They are in great condition, just a small scuff low down on one grille cloth (shown in one of the pictures), and I covered the silver side frames with satin black vinyl wrap, which makes them appear smaller. Easy to remove if preferred.
My room doesn't really suit them, as I'm not allowed to pull them far enough forward!
They have the factory adjustable spiked feet and the extra stabilising weight under the back. I have raised them on 3 layers of ply and MDF, which can go with them if wanted.
I have used them with a Parasound A21 250W SS power amp, a 12W EL84 amp and Icon Audio MB90 115W valve power amp. It has been quite happy with all of them. I have never rocked out with them, as I tend to listen late at night, so they are unstressed since their service.
I live in Plymouth, and if you can get here you are welcome to listen to them, of course. They won't post,as I don't have the boxes, but I can deliver them for the cost of the fuel, as long as I can get home again the same day without exhausting myself!
I am asking £1800 for them.
EDIT; I forgot to say I am looking for a pair of Tannoy Monitor Gold 15" drivers. I don't need cabinets.
