Nice speakers, but yet again, similar to so many other E- Bay ads, states they are 8ohm, then on photo 5 , says they are 6ohm. I don't understand why people do that.Quote:

Linx, pre and power.. looked at these yesterday, they have shot up in price. I have seen the same pre and power in mint condition go for about the same as they are on for now £280.00, also seen another mint set go for around £450.00.
My fathers friend had these years ago. Very clean sounding from what i remember.
I occasionally buy records and CDs from eBay. There does seem to be a trend towards UK sellers advertising / transacting in US dollars (presumably those who sell more items overseas) following the depreciation of sterling. It may work as an export strategy but it's putting me off as bidding prices rise.

Sometimes 'full working order' means 'not completely knackered'.
£110 is way too low so either he doesn't know the value or they have issues.
These kenwoods sold last week for £100.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282238840711
... and then reappeared a few days later...http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/282252477855?_mwBanner=1
Never sell at that price even though they look minty mint.
Speakers like this no-one thinks are any good. But they are super efficient, an easy load, and will work best close to a wall - all factors that a lot of people need in a speaker and that most modern speakers don't have.

It's usually guaranteed to sell below it's market price... :D
Evan better when it's an auction and it's timed to finish at 1400 on a weekday afternoon or something equally silly...
I agree...a lot of these are passed on for some reason but can hold their own and then some...I thought the guy had them too low and should have left it to the bids. If I had them they would be part of the furniture in my living room even if I wasn't running them Lol
You're like me, rarely buy any hifi that's delivery only, wouldn't trust couriers with something I'm looking forward to trying esp vintage and usually drive some distance if I have found a deal. The other thing I do is if I'm traveling to another town or city I'll look up local ads on Gumtree and see if there is another deal to be had, found the more north you go the cheaper items can getQuote:

If anyone near Nantwich fancies a bit of a gamble, my spidey-senses are 92.3% sure these "Bargain Goodmans" speakers are RB65s.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Goodmans-s...EAAOSw5cNYM0uz
If this is the case then they'll probably need re-foaming but are well worth the effort.
Going to bid on them, wouldn't mind them stands.. Will let you know if I win themQuote:

Below the Achromat range at the time - in line with the old Wharfedale XP2's although no XP2 with a 12' driver - sold loads in Comet in 70's early 80's. Loads of fun for possibly not much money. Worth a punt, in my opinion, foam surrounds notwithstanding.

This guy does not know what drivers are in the speakers. Loads of other HIFI stuff in his other ads, so assume he has a bit of an idea. States they would look good in any home, no mention of how they sound.
They look hideous though. Cheap nasty terminal plate on back doesn't say much for them.
Terminal plate doesn't say much for them, the seller doesn't say much, the carpenter who built them doesn't say much, but would look good in any home.
Depends on if you have a wood burner.
Well to be honest, i have seen far worse looking speakers. You would think he would give more info on the sound. He has amps, CD player, etc in other items, so just seems dodgy to me, could be wrong though.
I'll stick with my Tannoys I think! :)
But they might outdo any Tannoy!Quote:

The mid and upper bass drivers look to be from the B&W '6' series, as does the port. They seem to be made from the remenents of a B&W 684, the tweeter is not correct though so maybe they got blown, hence the re-build.Quote:

I dont like the tweeters at the bottom of the speaker so rotate 180 so their on top Ah! thats better...:)
Seller won't ship... shame as i wanted these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152328347375
Brum to Dorset isn't really a huge distance ... rattle down the M40/A34 what can it be 2 1/2 hours each way? Saturday morning pick up, early start, meet mid-morning, be home in time for a late lunch. He might even meet you part-way.Quote:

Unbelievable. A Decca FFSS stylus guard now bid up to £51 with over two days to go. For a couple of pence worth of plastic. Crazy!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2724620023...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I could do with it myself, but not at a daft price. I'd sooner make one.
FFSS for £51.Quote:
