Obviously happy to sit on them until someone bites... I'm sure there will be someone who will take a punt, I would defy anything new at £300 to sound as good. (Given that my RAM 150's sit unused I really don't need to pounce on them!)

Totally. I don't know what you can get today for £300 new but suspect not much more than some tiny little thing with ten bob drivers.Quote:

(The new price I quoted seems to have disappeared, but a HiFi+ review quotes £43,399 for a 4 metre pair, whereas the pair for sale are 3 metre long. The new price for a 3 metre pair will be greater than 3/4 x £43.399 = £32,549, so the figure of £37,350 seems realistic.}

But however you look at it, it's a ridiculous price to pay. It is suggested you spend 10% of the system cost on cables, so goodness knows how much the seller spent on his system.
Ah, I was going off the rrp that the seller mentioned in his description... Not such a bargain after all :( I think I'll pass. So 10% is the guide is it? I think my spend amounts to only about 2% :doh: But I don't see any cable upgrades on the horizon, I have other priorities these days, like keeping the lights on :)
When you consider the possible attraction of ridiculously priced products to a buyer then money laundering is one. Sold on at a loss obviously, but in return for clean funds. Just saying hypothetically.
Be interested to see where this one ends, QUAD 66 pre-amp and tuner with the desktop remote
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/277714086177?
Tuner really only a showpiece but this has always been my favourite QUAD pre with volume knob on the remote instead of up/down buttons.
And the orange display ofc. Lots of bids so far.
Interesting Tannoy 15'' HPDs up in Geordie-land:
