In their favour, they're not the constructor series versions. I'm not sure there were any speakers that used that combination though, the B110 was usually matched with the T27. Didn't the T15 dig further down into the mid range and would often be matched with just a B139 (with mixed results)?Quote:

That's cheap. I've seen the drivers on their own with higher asking prices. However, the units look a bit dark in the photos, could be dirty.Quote:

ICEpower modules in a box and he wants HOW MUCH :mental:
Wow ............ Lost for words.
Quality woodwork. :eek: Making the brad nails a decorative feature is a nice touch.
They are perfect for Marco, an audiophile connoisseur, and just like a good wine they will mature with age :eyebrows:
Only if they come with lots of blue lights ;)Quote:

I think we should admire such a minimalist approach. Less is more, after all. The preamp best exemplifies this philosophy, and the careful cable twisting shows a zen master at work. Think Jiro and Sushi. While the boards sat at such jaunty angles I'm sure are the result of careful considerations of Feng Shui.
No expense spared either, I'm sure the wiring is genuine copper
Gumtree just up the road from me in Bristol- Arcam 75 Amp, 72 CD player and Dynaudio speakers for £100 seems cheap. If I had a bit more room would buy just for a play.

I do like this. Very much!

One of the coils has gone on my original bought back in the day. The 100 was / is said to be the better sounding of the 3 in the range.

More loony pricing from Hart Audio.
What looks like an i8 Tannoy driver (or derivative), matched to a few quid's worth of Chinese ABR's in a box. I don't see the £14k+ asking price there in value.

He's got more bonker priced speakers if you look at his other items
Dont you just love a tryer :rolleyes:
Decca Mk.I FFSS tonearm with rather 'optimistic' pricing!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Decca-FFS...item23b68f891f
Only a few years back you could get a NOS one boxed for £100.
Which is about what they are worth.
I had a couple of perfectly serviceable ones and sold one a year or so back. It fetched £89 on ebay. (still got one though)Quote:

Maybe fifteen years ago, I sold a pair of FFSS arms and three Mk.I heads for around fifteen quid on ebay. There was no interest in them back then. Things have changed.
Around 1980, I bought a beautiful sounding 4RC for a fiver. I used it for years! :)
The 4RC is one of the pre Mk.V/VI Deccas that I have not heard. I do have an SC4E that I could modify with the RC network, but it's not something that is high on my "things to do" list.Quote:

Unfortunately it's collect from Gravesend, a far flung place that resembles the post-apocalyptic devastation in the opening scenes of Terminator. :)Quote:

There's also a pair of PMC 25.23's for £400 in Stranraer with an evasive seller - they're pick up only but you need to pay for them before you go to pick them up
