Hi Guys,

Due to moving things around a bit, my current speaker cables are now no longer long enough, and with them being discontinued by VDH, I can't source a longer pair. Therefore I'm reluctantly having to move them on.

These are superb sounding speaker cables and very well regarded, due to their unique construction and single conductor design (hence why they have been twisted together, which also improves their performance). Details here of their design and construction: https://www.vandenhul.com/product/the-wind-mk-ii-hybrid-halogen-free/

They are a 3.8m pair, terminated with solid-copper Cardas spades, and in very good condition:

I'm not charging for the connectors, even though they weren't cheap [and provide a superb, securely soldered and sonically transparent connection], but instead with a view to giving another AoS member the best deal possible on these excellent cables.

In that respect, I've Googled around, and the going rate seems to be around £350, for a 3m pair, such as on the following listing (bearing in mind that these cables new were £25 per metre, PER SIDE, unterminated, so £50 per metre, as a full stereo pair]: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164406565135

Therefore I am offering my, almost 4m fully-terminated pair, at a BARGAIN price to AoS members of £230 including shipping to any mainland UK address!

So, get in quick if you'd like to own these superb and highly sought-after speaker cables, which will improve the sound of pretty much any system. Interested parties, please either register your interest here or PM me.

Cheers, folks!:cool:

Marco.

Really surprised, guys, that these haven't sold... Especially with being such a bargain! Well, I'll make them even MORE of a bargain, with a one off last shot, flat price, before ebay.

So, here ya go.... £200, including delivery! That's it, folks. So don't let some dweeb on ebay get these superb, stupidly cheap speaker cables!!:eek:

Ok, I must be MAD, simply because I'd love an AoS member to get a genuine bargain on these cables, so.... THIS IS MY LAST OFFER before they go to ebay:

£150.00, DELIVERED!!

DAT'S IT FOLKS - NO MORE REDUCTIONS, so if you want the chance to own, IMO, some of the best loudspeaker cables ever made, then you know what to... PM ME!:more:

:exactly:

I think you need to get out more! I was just winding Alan(Mad-Moon) up, inferring he will be in trouble with his better half if the cables just turn up, but I suppose you Northern folk don't worry about such things. :D

I hope you get it now. https://static.skaip.org/img/emoticons/180x180/f6fcff/tumbleweed.gif

And therein lies the rather key bit of information you neglected to include originally! So yes I get it now:D

That's the problem though of indulging in what is a private joke in public, and leaving others to guess what it's all about!:ner:;)

Indeed, considering that they'd have been £400 new, excluding terminations, which as the Cardas ones in question are over £45 a pair, would've added a further £90 to the bill!:eek:

So defo a Billy Bargain:)

Their interconnects are not the best...I know little of the speaker cables, but thought I would take a punt at £150 on them. Had I not got on with them, I'd have just put them back on here for same money and got my coppers back reasonably quickly, but it wasn't to be...

Yup, the majority of their interconnects, with a few exceptions, are rather disappointing, to say the least. The speaker cables are better, but still rather 'hit or miss'.

However, 'The Winds' are defo a hit [sometimes a designer just masters the right recipe], as otherwise they wouldn't have got near my system, let alone me being able to live with them for six years!;)
