Recently picked up a SoTM sMS-200 Neo Ultra for £520 from Fleabay , must say it's met and exceeded my expectations.
These are a bargain currently, if you happen to be anywhere near Cobham... Ruark Templar, and apart from the usual fading due to having their grilles on (and a badge missing) they look in great condition.

They were about £700 new around 25 years ago or maybe a bit longer ago than that. Not a cheap speaker.Quote:

This made me smile, not the optimistic price, but the vision of one extremely frustrated person, hands dripping with glue, attacking the speaker with a Dremel.

Well at least the seller is being honest. He probably repaired the speakers whilst listening to a certain Rolling Stones LP. ;)
We can't be certain it was a bloke, it might have been "Some Girls" :)Quote:
