Do you mean they're not like LS3/5As? What a disappointment, I was thinking of bidding!Quote:

Very rare Goodmans DB50, high efficiency loudspeakers. Looking in good order. These use a variant of the Hifax horn mid/tweeter. Very nice! In Durham.

These are surprisingly good little amps http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-TA-P7...item43b93fd0c7
This AR turntable looks absolutely mint.

It is a bit silly to pay that for one Maxim alone, but I think you are being a bit harsh on them in general Geoff. I used to own a pair of Videoton Minimax 2's which are almost identical and they were pretty darned good. I suppose it all depends on what you pair them with and your own personal tastes. I would not pay a penny over seventy quid for a pair however :cool:
Well Dave, I've bought a few pairs of Minimaxes at boot sales too and would class them as just marginally better than the Maxim.Quote:

Of the era, the original 'C' series KEF Codas and Celestion Ditton 10s were probably the best ultra compacts about. You don't see many of either now, largely cannibalised for their drivers I imagine.
Cambridge R40s were my first proper speakers. Loved them.Quote:

I'll know who to come to for a pair of Minimax's then as I would dearly like to source another pair for old times sake... ;)Quote:

Lots of amps in his other items, including one pair in an unopened box going for nearly five thousand. Somebody might be getting a bargain. Not me I can't afford it.Quote:

Isn't it just that someone has made an offer on something he had and he agreed to put up for a buyitnow just for them?Quote:

Mordaunt Short MS10i, ending tomorrow.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mordaunt-S...40922876405%26
I recall my next door neighbour owning Mordaunt Short speakers approx 10 years ago. They looked very similar to the ones above, but maybe bigger. I can remember them sounding pretty good at the time.
Celestion SL600 speakers in Norfolk. Definitely deserve to be regarded as a 'Classic'. Ending tomorrow, may go cheap.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Celestion-...item4ac1faf1a0
Never seen those before, Andr'e. Any good?
I've owned these, they are very well made. Not many about and never were!Quote:

I think I still have the paperwork somewhere.
Aye a good price..Excellently layout PCB's, the Power amp has a massive Mains Tranny.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
this is worth £150 tops
Wharfedale Dovedale III speakers, Northwest London. They look in nice condition, these were a direct competitor to the Goodmans Magnum K2 and in my view are rather better. Surprisngly decent sounding speakers.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MATCHING-P...item2ec6a36eb7
Just won the bidding on this little feller.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Du...vip=true&rt=nc
A Dual 1219 turntable. My first idler TT for many years and I've never owned a Dual before. Should be interesting. This is supposed to be THE one to go for, we'll see! Price was good, I've seen these go for nearly three times that.
