Lol… The point is, they are two totally different speakers with different electrical characteristics and different amplifier requirements, which consequently sound totally different!!Quote:

Bev, if there were two 15” Monitor Reds inside, those speakers would be worth about £5k (or more), and with Golds inside about £3.5/4k. However, with one of each, they’re worth, well……unless you’re deaf, into MONO and/or are Elton John’s greatest ever fan! :D
Marco.
So with mis matched drivers what are they worth? In my view nothing... I can't imagine my own speakers with mis matched drivers and I wouldn't pay anything at all for them... ;)Quote:

I'd also imagine, that if they are sold on at some future date, even if the Gold or the Red is replaced by whatever driver makes up the pairing that floats the buyers boat, the drivers here will be included, because they're Elton's drivers, and mismatched though they are, the mismatch is now well known - like it or not, part of the provenance.
Next up a genuine pair of designer fabric ears, the former property of Elton John. Provenance? Unassailable - the Tannoys recently offered on ebay are conclusive proof that Mr Johns ears were in fact cloth...
Nice LUXMAN TT
Lovely pair of AR 4xa
Refoamed the'll be a decent speaker although pretty sure the were veneered.Quote:
