The 10" IIILZ Golds were not great, but the 10" HPD295A is a very good unit. It is certainly not short of bass, even the small Eaton packs a useful, if not hugely extended punch. I've owned several pairs of each. I agree that the IIILZ is rather limited. But in a larger cabinet, the HPD295A can perform excellently. It is after all, basically a late series 12" Monitor Gold with a reduced chassis and the mid and top are as good as any.Quote:

Spot on there, how can he call them Rogers LS 6?
Don't understand people who swap out units for ones that are miles away from the original design. ffk those Rogers has clear polypropylene Bass/Mid unit..
Yeah, I bet those 'replacements' must have cost at least £7 each! :rolleyes:
Very underaturd speaker RAM. These look like RAM-60'
6 Year old! :confused:

When I see RAM mentioned, I always think of Tangent speakers as well.
There was a lot of small BRIT SPEAKERS companies from back then that just disappeared.
I used to have a big pair of Swallow acoustics 5 way jobbies that used Dalesford bextrene unit which were great till I came in from work one day to find the daughter had shoved a Biro thru each drive unit.
Yup, Griffin and Audiomaster spring to mind too. Didn't Griffin use Coles tweeters. I'm sure they did. About the only firm I can think of that used the HF1300 'clone'.Quote:

'Ditton 22' basically a small '33'.. The Dittons of this Era were on but the Veneers were horrid cheap looking shit you would get on a roll of iron on Wood Veneer imho.

There are few pairs of 1970s loudspeakers as impressive as a good pair of Goodmans Achromat Sigmas, IMHO. Sadly these are a long way from being a good pair!
A candidate for optimist of the day, I feel...

Shame about the drive units.
I used to have a pair of 'Sigma' years & years ago. they were oki doki..
Always wanted a set of these 'Dimension 8' in white

Nearest I got to those was a pair of their rear ABRs, which I put in large cabinets along with brand new Tannoy IIILZ drivers. It worked OK. This was a little while ago. :)Quote:

Don't know if this is a bargain, but it's certainly unusual.
This ends soon. It's up to £285 at the moment. Nothing unusual there, but I reckon it'll rocket in the closing moments. £600 or so maybe?Quote:

Just a £250 profit.
That all yew lot think abart Money Money Money?
:whistle:
£50 sounds about right to me
:D
Brings up the question of what you think you know whats worth money and whats not....for me its more of the fun then anything popular demand but i know where it will end up they always do their was a free pair of kefs not long ago went of ebay for £245 not sure if sold the techie will no doubt go on their too unless someone bought it to use which is fair enough but theirs more competition then you think :mental
I might of gone more mental if it was something special :eek:just aswell
One of my pet hates seeing equipment selling for stooped money. Set asking prices for certain things. The laugh is these certain items are sadly not what they are cracked up to be imho
I can't help being a grasping miser. It's poverty's fault.Quote:

Nice price on an LFD PA2M (SE) dual mono power amp on eBay, first I've seen for sale second hand. A real "end game" amp built to last a lifetime.
Never seen these before...they look cute and as if they'd sound very good too.

And compared to the trendier studio monitors crossing over into hi fi land - Yamaha, JBL - reasonably priced. Love the cabinet work!

I see this thread is coming up to half a million views. And this is only part 2 of it, no wonder there are no bargains on eBay anymore ;)
Been no Bargain well before this thread start-turd Macca
When I started the thread it was in response to a genuine bargain that I had seen on eBay. However in anticipation that some items do and would go for silly money, I added the question mark to the title.
Sadly eBay has become so successful, genuine bargains are now few and far between. I've had a few (a Nagra IV-S reel-to-reel machine, some cartridges and camera lenses), but nowadays I take quiet comfort in looking the grossly elevated prices of gear I bought years ago for a song.
Seems familiar i only sold it Saturday and the guys already listed it along with my leak...... :steam::steam::steam:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NYTech-Aud...8AAOSwOtBXTCFl
Im close to giving up with this shit.....if i could of got that much i would of but nothing was selling even at the low prices i had low ball offers....:doh:
:lolsign: Dan that man
Just stick with summert, what i did, ballerkz to buying Hi-Fi.
You've got to take inflation into account. At our age 20 years passes like nothing so that amp or deck you bought for £1000 in 1996 and is now selling for, say, £2300 is still valued about the same as you paid then. It's your money that is worth less.
Locally to me there is a small Town with a ' Local Hospital ' Thrift Shop run by Retiree Volunteers.Quote:

Clearly all looking for 'stuff' for resale.
Massive (1$ ?) profits to be found in discarded Lp's and 70's receivers you know.
Interesting World we have built for our children and grandchildren.. ain't it ?
It's all those daft TV shows like Storage Wars and that. People see it and think that it looks like an easy way to make a few quid. It's a fad, as Spinal Tap's chauffeur would sayQuote:
