About 1.5 years old, in perfect condition, completely unmarked with all original packing and whatever came with them, 4 big boxes in all so shipping will be spendy.
£750 plus shipping, or collection (preferred) - can demonstrate but would rather not! (they're in boxes now!)
In Brighton & Hove.

I had a set loved these speakers seem to work with everything I used. It took me a year and a bit to sell these when I decided to move these on. If I had space would have kept them but had too many loudspeakers

Yes these speakers worked well for me, apart from the boominess which I was just never going to solve, being limited to a one bed flat.

I have a pair of these that I've used for the last 12 months. Love them.
I have a 11ft x 15ft room and they fire down the longest measurement.
They really work best with powerful amps as this tightens and lowers the bass respond.
I've tried some ClassD Fosi Audio v3 integrated and their Monos, Mid and Top ok but Bass loose with no kick.
The Cambridge Audio 851W Power amps in bridged mode 500w + 500w into 8 ohm controls them very well, seems to add an extra octave with no boom.

Some of us had suggested amps with more welly for the reasons you give, but I think Mike just prefers the Totems in his room.

Ah, neighbours you see, I can hardly play loud these days, apart from this week, when said neigbhours are away. these totems are ok though, and they take up so little space.

It's a good thing, they're really good speakers unless you like an 'in your face' sound.

As Martin said it's good thing, I decided to keep them as I just plugged them back into my system (I was using a pair Totem sttafs before) and they're much better than the Totems, I just wanted the Totems to work because they're so dinky! But tbh the Lintons are ok in my lounge, they dominate it visually for sure, but they do look good, and sound great.
