Nice speakers these, I've had them for years but they needed refoaming which I've never had time for until now. I used the kit from a well respected Dutch company and think I've done a decent job as you can see. I've also added a little bit of wadding while I was in there as recommended on various forums. I think they could do with a bit of running in now to sound their best but they are sounding good already I have to say [emoji4]
They make an excellent budget desktop/nearfield speaker with a T amp or similar. Perfect for working from home!
They are quite famous, there's plenty online about them and Ken Kessler liked them at the time.

One little quirk, I've just noticed one says Optimus on the grille and the other says Genexxa! They were sold individually rather than in pairs at the time so I guess it was just a vagary of the stock in Tandy at the time. (If you use them without grilles you'll not see it of course I've not seen any desktop speakers with grilles anyway.)
I'm asking just £80 for them collected from N London. I might be able to post at buyer's cost and risk, I'd pack very well and use a reputable courier. I bought them online years ago and they got to me without any issues.
