KEF Concerto speakers. Can anybody spot what's wrong?

Probably still worth having though. One of the better British flagship speakers of the seventies.
sprayed over the board and i think the tweeter
Different tweeters :)Quote:

Apparently he has lots of other stuff to sell.
Someone's turned the crossover boards around and one tweeter has been replaced. Probably all sortable.

Maybe I should hang onto mine.
This is nuts. They've now been bid up to £837!! What's so special about this pair?Quote:

The cost of an equivalent new pair is the reason why the second hand stuff are at this level.
Possibly so, and also Geoff and company banging on about them all the time :lol:Quote:

Is it time we changed this thread title to Not a bargain on eBay
The question mark allows for all contingencies.
Just like at the end of 'Flash Gordon.'
As originator of this thread, I chose the title with care. The question mark was deliberate and intentional - permitting sarcasm for over priced items, as well as enquiring if anyone here had actually snapped up a bargain.Quote:

Or possibly tat (?)
Seller also has a pair of MLS1s at same (high) starting price.

Designed by Robin Marshall, it looks almost exactly the same as Monitor Audio's R352, which came out in the eighties and which later had an MD (metal dome) variant. I loved mine (not metal dome version), very sweet unfatiguing sound, and can be had for a LOT less than the £200 asked here.Quote:

Probably being bid up by his mates lol
Some HiFi house is trying to flog a pair of Eatons for more than £1,500.
I'll give you £1,499 for yours Edward :eek:Quote:

A year ago, they'd have been around £200 or so.

And about £250 max now.Quote:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPER-LEN...UAAOSwhglbVGsq
Oh these Lentex speakers rang a bell so I looked at my old emails. Sure enough the guy selling these has been trying for ages. Originally he wanted over £400 for them. Speakers are in a storage facility of some sort so difficult to test. The main picture he has is a stock picture not the actual item.
main pic looks like a poster. kef main driver by looks of it.
KEF Concerto speakers. They look nice at first glance, but can you spot what's wrong?
