Listed here on behalf of my good friend and fellow reviewer, Neville Roberts, are his magnificnent Chris Rogers PRO9-TL loudspeakers that he's finally moving on after over 30 years. His words on them are below:
I am reluctantly selling a pair of original Chris Rogers PRO9-TL quarter-wave transmission line loudspeakers finished in teak wood veneer and based around the classic KEF B139 bass driver. These are the actual speakers that have featured in many of my reviews for Hi-Fi Choice magazine over the years. Based on the original Rogers’ design from Practical Hi-Fi and Audio, October 1976, these speakers have been significantly upgraded over the years with new Audax HD12 tweeters fitted with Russ Andrews’ Focus Rings and new Peerless K040-MRF midrange, all replaced recently. The switches of the crossovers have been removed and then completely rebuilt with audiophile components throughout, including ClarityCap polypropylene capacitors, Mills audio grade resistors, and Mundorf 99% silver/1% gold wiring.
The cabinets are in good condition for their age. The teak veneer has bubbled slightly in places but has been well looked-after with wax and teak oil. Collection only from Ferndown in Dorset.
All I can add is to say that I've heard them on a few occasions and they sound absolutely stunning - I'd give them a home myself if I wasn't already somewhat over-burdened with large loudspeakers!
Asking price is a silly low £150 and, as above, they must be collected from Ferndown in Dorset. Please note they are also big and heavy. If you're interested, please send me a PM and I'll pass on Neville's contact details.
