Nice amps these & from experience very hard to damage... They have pre out/power in jumpers on the back that if removed you wont get any output so that might be the problem. Cap coupled output like the Quad 303 with a warm, lush, euphonic sound. I'd buy it myself if I werent skint :D

It gets nuttier by the day.
Nearly three grand for a pair of LS3/5a's?!!!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-Origi...item27d9834cfa
I really don't know why you get so agitated about LS3/5a prices - let 'em get on with it, I say.
Are you in the market for some? No
Are there better speakers available for less lolly? Yes
All the time they're in a bidding frenzy you can be snapping up the good stuff.
Think about yer blood pressure!
And bashed to hell. It will be interesting to see if they sell at that price!!! I'm not one of the LS3/5a bashers. I quite like them - but not at that sort of price:eek:Quote:

The seller his off his bloody rocker. He describes the speakers as efficient @ 82.5 db and in good condition.Quote:

Are those "port straws" original ? They look it but I've not seen that on a commercial speaker before http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-of-Vi...item3cd751384a
Yes, I remember Celef using them in their designs.
That explains that then :) ... I must have been living under rock, I've never heard of 'Celef' :oQuote:

Terrific speakers James and the reviewers were impressed when they were launched. I would have them myself if I had the cash to spare :)Quote:

Did they use Sea's drivers?
I used to own a pair of these, paid £70 in 1973. Replaced them with a pair of Rogers LS7's in 1981.Quote:

There's a lot of similarities, particularly the use of a resistive port to lower and broaden the reflex resonant peak. Stuart used drinking straws where Peter used a rear-exiting plastic tube with small holes drilled in it to the same effect. Both speakers had a similar smooth and extended bottom end.
Bargain for 50 squid delivered. Easy fix those surrounds...

Weird home-brew Schroeder variant. £250? Don't think so...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221301316250&ssPageNam e=ADME:B:SS:GB:3160
shroeder? you see magnets somewhere? it looks to me rather like a (very) poor man's WTA spin off, i've seen a plenty of WTA clones but never something so fugly!
Can't see any magnets. Surely he's not relying on silicone fluid to stop the arm moving forwards?
More Celef goodness :)

Can't remember the last time i bought any hi-fi off the bay! i just don't buy it anymore..
I'm guessing the seller reads this ? Either way the "BIN" price has now doubled :lol:Quote:

Bargain of the year.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171141506216
I love these. Have a pair I bought in the 80s. Missed a pair in July so I'm pleased to have got these.:cool:
Nice one :)Quote:

Very rare & reputedly very good... I wonder if they'll sell for more or less than a pair of LS3/5a's ? :lol:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1812430734...84.m1423.l2649
Hmm they do indeed look quite interesting. I fancy a bid on these but suspect they will go for more than I woudl be willing to have a punt at.Quote:

Indeed they are big:-Quote:

Yes sorry I wasnt likening them to LS3/5a's merely the difference in perceived value..Quote:

Thats a good price they usually go for £75 ish.. Afromosia..
If I were keeping my '3 series' bits I'd snap it up but alas not... Like you say, a nice price for someone.

Yeh i know i have some but need more one set per room :D
I had a pair of those, very nice Celef speakers.
Unfortunately one of the tweeters became faulty, and couldn't get a replacement.
Mine had the straws in the ports too BTW.
Thats the way to do it ! Just make sure you get decent one's from a reputable seller ;)Quote:

They're at my Dad's on his system.
I couldn't get an original tweeter anywhere.
I'm using Monitor audio studio 12's at the moment and love them to bits.
A pair but only one working http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peerless-t...item4d14055f79
Cheers, I'll keep an eye on those.
