Wanted:
I inadvertently & bizzarely find myself speakerless!!

So, looking for a pair of small to medium sized stand mounts or not huge floorstanders preferably in a mid or dark wood finish for less than £1500. Must be postable or v local (stoke)as I am currently unable to drive or carry anything. New speakers will help with the boredom of sitting still :)

My amps are rega Elicit R or Audionote EL84 kit 1 (15w) so pretty flexible

Thanks.

Got some Audiovector X3 Super here doing nothing. I don't want to sell them but you're welcome to have a borrow until you get sorted.

Gloss white but maybe that won't matter if it's temporary? They're pretty good even Marco rated them.

Anyway offer's there mate.

Very kind Martin. I've got my old trusty mission 760ise that I bought new in 1992 on. Not quite what I'm used to, but listenable.

These might interest you. The drivers Jordan Eikonas and they are housed in Jordan designed miniline cabinets made from Valchromat and stuffed with angel hair.

There's a blog entry on Jordan's website about my build.

Sorry to hear you’re in the wars Steve.
I’m also virtually housebound due to cancer surgery so after selling off my system at the start of the year I bought a set of Kef LS50 Wireless II to help me pass the time.

If you can sort out delivery then these would be great.

I used to own a pair of Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE speakers and can vouch for the fact that they are top quality.

On the other hand, you don't have to be a woman to be a her these days.

I know, you've got women who like blokes, women who look like blokes, women who like blokes that look like women, women who like women that look like blokes, it's all very confusing :scratch:

intersex or sometimes once called hermaphroditism has been around for ever and was once revered..certainly not attacked.

I was a bit confused by this, so had to look it up. All to do with chromosomes it would seem. But I'm not sure why it would be attacked.

But Bourney is now sorted for speakers, just as well really :doh:

A lovely pair of Totem Arros

Always fancied trying a set in my system. I have heard them, but not at home.
