Yamaha are quite diverse company. Maybe they do a range of tinned fish products. Who knows?Quote:

They do look very tidy. No pics of the drivers though and seller seems to be saying he hasn't personally tested them.Quote:

Blimey. Over forty quid for a Sonotone ceramic cartridge. There was a time when this would have just been slung in the bin!

Ah - but it does come fitted to a Garrard SP25 (Mk.II) headshell! :DQuote:

I don't think they're crossovers. They are marked 'Line (100 volts)'. Probably from a factory or hospital PA system or similar.
Thanks Geoff, had me wondering what they were.Quote:

Not eBay, but Japanese purveyors of finest quality hi-fi temptation, Hi-Fi Do and a pair of Yamaha GF-1 speakers - rarer that a rare thing that's never been heard of!

If you get in fast when you first see a buy it now some sellers dont know what they have. However thats usually on a saved search and Ive seen the new listing before anybody else.
Bidding on anything semi popular will not result in a bargain these days. Everybody gets a bit lucky once in a while but its not something that can be relied on.
I am interested to see what bargains people are still getting but you cant have had much competition :)

Rogers Export Monitors, didn't think that they used KEF bass units, in the past only seen Dalesford bass units.
To my ears, the KEF B200 is inferior, midrange is much more coloured.
The bass drivers are wrong. Those are B200 SP1014 from the KEFkit version of the Chorale (KEFkit 2 I believe). That small magnet version of the B200 is unsuited to reflex loading and was designed for a 20L sealed cabinet. Those Rogers are basically 'salvage' now. I hope any prospective buyers do their homework.
Inform the seller.Quote:

Recently, a friend got some Lynettes and replaced the B200s with Dalesford bass units and the improvement was quite apparent.Quote:

Incidentally, the Lynette modified? (in fact back to original design) is a good speaker, friend is very pleased with them, he has many well know and respected speakers too.
I have too, but sometimes they are aggressive.Quote:

Funny how everything I buy seems to shoot up in value. Can't all be down to luck. Maybe my judgement ain't too bad either. :D
On Gumtree. Linn index Mk.2 speakers and Denon mini system. Asking price £500. Crazy! I'd not give more than £60 for the speakers and £50 for the mini system. I'd not want that lot anyway, the Index speakers are pretty grim!
