I spotted those too James, I bet they sound special :)

He's asking way to much, though. Without a desirable badge big speakers like that just won't sell at that price. Shame as I would quite fancy some replica Cylon Base Stars in my living room :)
Blimey, "Take me to your leader", comes to mind.Quote:

These Technics SB-E100 are actually a bit of a bargain in my view considering the excellent looking condition. The asking price is a fraction of what something like these would cost new now. You could have bought a few pairs of new Tannoy Lancasters at the money then. I'd like them.Quote:

Like wise for me to replace my Akais with something new and just as capable would cost me thousands but I paid £80 for them, because no-one wants them. Same reason I was eble to buy a minter Ford Scorpio Cosworth Ultima with 70,000 miles on it for £1250. Because to 99% of people it is just a big smoker and not what they are after.Quote:

Speaking of Tannoys... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Goldring-L...item2edbcb21db
We'll have to remember to check it out. But you can't make an offer it is just £1200 BIN and collection only from well out in the sticks. A fiver says the auction will expire with no sale ;)Quote:
