Thought you might have been one of them, James!Quote:

This is far more worthy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HARMAN-KAR...item417c3940cd
I've had 2... They are little crackers with a power supply that wouldn't be out of place in an amplifier twice the size !
Hi James....bet you could fix this...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Faulty-SON...item58ab45f7a5
Not necessarily anything wrong with it!Quote:

Think they are officially local government sanctioned recyclers (recyling via re-use).
I'm already watching it :lol: But in that poor condition without remote & of unknown origin even if it does play discs I wouldn't pay more than £50.
Nat is correct, most of the stuff they sell is fully working if a bit scruffy but that's the gamble you take... I'm not much of a betting man so tend to err on the side of caution. Quite often faulty stuff sells in auction for only 10-20% less than a fully working example - I don't know what loons are buying it but they are :mental:
I don't know either. The price that some of it goes for just seems mad to me. Mobile phones seems to be the worst. Some seem to think everything has a value. I've seen someone selling an i-phone 3 with the screen smashed to buggery and the upper 1/3 bent back at an angle of about 30% - and there was bids on it! What can you say!?!
At least it might show there are many optomists out there?
AKA dreamers... The worlds full of 'em :D
These Meridian M10s are very nice, even the Meridian style guarish rosewood they used to use a lot. £1200 start not so bad as it includes a 201/204
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121260292225
Great deep and fast bass and very dynamic and slammy. I found they didn't image as I like but I have a small room, small by their needed standards.
Great potential for swapping those T33s tweeters - Meridian upgraded the M10 tweeters to M100 tweeters for customers (probably dry of ferofluid now) - for ScanSpeak 95000s as the 90000 range appears to be an attempt to replicate the T33 (judging by impedance curves etc) AND the bolts are in the same place. Have to widen the opening on the tweeter plate though slightly..
Very nice, Dual power supply, fully dual mono Exposure VII pre-amp with 2 x VI PSUs - might go for a good price due to terrible photos:

Always fancied trying some Kelvin Labs but they go for more than I'm willing to pay, this one looks no different:

Saw those mentioned on Hifi Wigwam. Interesting although they are back-room stock rather than stuff they had out in the shop..Quote:

Looks like they use KEF B110s, the SP1003 version.
I thought I'd seen just about every vintage British speaker, but I've never come across those big RAMs before. Interesting.Quote:

Yeah, pretty rare. I've seen them on ebay before but probably 5 years ago last time.Quote:

I meant I've come across RAM 400s before on ebay ... not just this pair.
Bargain if you live in Surry:
191037335659
I'd have them if I did.
If they don't - you've always got the wooden cases! Always got to look on the positive side, James.Quote:

How crap is the Garrard Zero 100 ? There's one locally for £20 but I'm not sure if thats £19.99 too much :eyebrows:
It's no 301 James but those in the know say it is a reasonable performer when well serviced ;)Quote:

Little brother version of the highly regarded R50 floorstanding transmission line speakers (personally can vouch for these).
Replacement and upgraded crossovers available from Falcon Acoustics (no relation to etc .... ).
Good hunting someone ..... they really are too good not to be snapped up :)
I can vouch for them, too. I had a pair of R40s for many years and they were excellent speakers - neutral, reasonably detailed and with great bass for their size.Quote:

I preferred the Dynaco A25s I owned at the time.
M Miles.
They go for about £80, I gather.
The Kef drivers must be worth more than £80!
M Miles .
I don't even want to ask why this is listed under Hi-Fi:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Horn-/2613...item3cdbf9967f
Will suit both yourself and the car. Honk it on the A40!Quote:

I'll bet they sound rather good with a big controlling amp running them.
Looks to be a lot going on speaker wise for modest cabinet size ?Quote:
