Looks like SoundLab (DJ table?) look at the pic of the headshell and the printing next to it.
Audio Note Quest Silver Mono's. Looks tidy, but the box & packaging looks shit.

Neat Petite III Speakers with the rare matching Gravita subs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neat-Acous...IAAOSw2ENW8Wfi
The condition looks a bit in sorry state. Who ever looked after these is clearly a twonk!

Probably had children they were unable or unwilling to control. Never ceases to amaze me what people are prepared to put up with from their little darlings. Anyway they're not too bad apart from that dust cap.
Indeed. Kids need to be properly disciplined and trained not to touch certain things - but most importantly, adults need to ensure that the things they care about are also adequately protected in the first place and/or kept out of harms way!
It's not difficult, if you use yer noggin.

I've got friends with children in the 8 - 14 range who insist that they cannot have a decent system in the house as 'the kids will wreck it'.
So if they tell their 8 year old not to touch something they don't expect them to understand and/or obey that instruction?
Quite unbelievable.
My grandkids dont touch mine and in past got shouted at for going too near. Now they just ignore it.. But some kids wont be told!
A few newcomers in Welcome that could do with a bit more of a greeting chaps. :)
Did you mean to post this in the mod room, daftee? ;)
Marco.
Then why not cover up the kit in question when they're in the room, or if the gear in a separate room, prevent them from going in there? Honestly, it's not rocket science! :rolleyes:Quote:

Wasnt like they lived here...speakers have their cover on as per usual but they have inquisitive fingers and can get carried away when at play. Only takes a second to screw something so i found next best thing was to train them not to touch...period!! Trained my daughter to shout at them if they get too near:DQuote:

^fantastic speakers. I recently won a pair of these on eBay (for £47!) and have been surprised at how capable they are.
only they are back ported so not suitable for everyone. also the condition is not great so not sure about the priceQuote:

Spanish DAS speakers.

Quad 57's stacked
Nice if you've got the room..
An unusual arrangement: not stacked as such, more simply doubled up. I'm not sure about the imaging with this arrangement; at best the sound will appear to come from midway between each speaker pair.
Even so I'm envious. I have tried stacked 57s and they are absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately I don't have room for them, so I have to make do with a single pair.

Oh it is Grant. Stacked Quads have one speaker stacked above a second. They present a large surface area which would block out too much light. They really are visually imposing.Quote:

I found room for two ESL57's, in a Mini! the vintage BMC type. That is how I took them to Quad for service about 37 years ago.Quote:

EDIT: Oh oops, seems that's already been said and answered! Even so, sounds like it's more of a room arrangement problem than size, negotiation with others living in the house about whether the speakers are infront of windows or walls.
I see... yours are in line with the windows.. that wont do then BarryQuote:

Don't suppose they're a bargain by thought some here might like them

Seller also has a couple of Lowther drive units for sale.
Inca Tech Claymore (mk1) amp - I've got one, very nice indeed!!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inca-tech-.../322053761964?
"Designed by Colin Wonder from classic early 80's era" :lol: - very true, though.
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNj...W9-pL/$_57.JPG
Pass Labs, Aleph 0 power amp & Aleph P pre-amp. In Crawley. Very nice, I'd like these, but not got the cash at the moment.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pass-Labor.../262355908100?
Not cheap are they? Still they are NP gear so will likely be very good.
Not really relevant to the value of the speakers, but I did notice some typical seller nonsense in the returns policy.Quote:

This of course is bollocks. If the speakers 'does not work'(sic), then the shipping charges are the responsibility of the seller and the restocking fee bit is gibberish.
It's pretty obvious why he won't accept Paypal. :lol:
Sellers may not like PayPal, but eBay terms oblige them to accept it. There's no 'opt out' as far as I'm aware.Quote:
