WTD : Chario Academy or Ruark Equinox

[shadowphax]

I am wanting to try out a quality 2 way stand mount as I fancy trying a simpler but quality smaller speaker.
I heard Chario Academy speakers at a bake-off and was really impressed (were Mk1 version), but have always fancued a oair of Ruark Equinkx although never managed to be in the right olace at the right time.
Does anyone have anything or other possible speakers of a similar quality?
I am located in Weat Yorkshire but willing to travel a bit if postage isn't possible.

Hi Graham, I'm the bloke you gave those tweeterless Celestion 5s to a few years ago... got some mint tweeters for them quite quickly, and the speakers are still making good sounds in my 2nd system. So thanks for that, and good luck with your search :)

I think Mikeandvan of this parish was selling some Chario speakers a while back, but they were compact floorstanders, not standmounts.

I had the Ruark Equinox and they were sublime. A fantastic speaker in every regard. I sold them to a friend and every time I see/hear them I have a pang of regret.
Usher also make a fabulous standmount.
