Specially when I'm working in Ayr..
Why have "Item location: walsall, West Midlands, United Kingdom", then must be collected in Dumfries? Which is it to be and why? :scratch:Quote:

Marco.
Marco - They are being advertised by Glass-Audio (Commercial) who are based in the Midlands.
Item location is produced automatically from their registered address, regardless of the collection address.
At least it used to work that way, I don't think ebay have changed things. ;)
Poor Tannoys - :eek: Drivers look OK but look at the cabs...

Marco.

The serious bidders will come in at the end... At the moment, they'll be holding back, not wanting to put the price up any more by starting a bidding war. I think £4.5k will be about right.
Yesh, your prize will be a nice big cucumber! :D
Marco.
The boxes that come with these are contemporary...and more use.

Yes, nice condition, and a low starting price, but they will end up fetching a lot.Quote:

Tannoy Cheviots in Leeds. Need a tidy and cone surrounds, but look solid enough and worth grabbing at £500.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-Che...wAAOSwFNZWyGqU
Totally stuffed Tannoy tweeters. Stated as being "in good shape"! What rubbish. In every way.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-1-D...8AAOSw~OVWxvVJ
Well I'm there next week too if you change your mind.Quote:

Also, the seller has had some questionable moments, I contacted him some years back about attempting to flog a pair of HPDs as as Gold, he basically told me to naff off and blocked me from his listings. Seems to be more established now so has perhaps learned to behave himself but I'd still be cautious.
Having owned 15" Reds and Golds, and used them in the same Lockwood cabinets, I know where you're coming from, Tom - and of course there's a reason why I swapped the original Reds for Golds....
The Reds are more one-trick ponies, *but* what they do well (midrange lucidity) is stunning, and significantly better in that area than Golds, which in turn are significantly better in the bass. It's pretty much horses for courses, including the amps you use with them, in order to get them to sing, and most importantly the music you're into.
Ultimately, for me, as I'm into such a wide and varied amount of music, Golds were the more versatile :)
Marco.
kinda tempted by this.. and its only an hour down the road for me.

Has anybody got any experience, and are there any known problems to be cautious about.
I'm seriously looking for a good Japanese turntable/arm with a detachable SME type head shell for about this sort of price or cheaper
This might be of interest to the Bowie fans. He could of made an effort with the listing title though :mental:

Nice mc cart.... AT made them i think
Decca International arm. Boxed, unused, £180!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Decca-Inte.../322016168804?
I bought one of these recently from a US seller and it is a superb cartridge. The seller of the above item was also selling an MC-1S (which is the normal half inch mount variant; the MC-1x plugs straight into an SME headshell mount) but it was gone within an hour or so of listing and I was too slow! :(Quote:

Good price, and still a bargain, considering the performance that these speakers are capable of! :)
Marco.
Geoff, can these be used with a remote? cheers JimQuote:

I believe there is a remote for these. I've never had one with those I've owned though. I suspect it may be an optional extra like the phono stage. Presumably, any Denon amplifier or system remote is likely to work with it.Quote:

The cabs are the same as mine. Note the open aperture at the bottom, no front plinth.Quote:
