Totem Arro speakers in Blackburn, collect only. Starting price less than £50! Nice sounding dinky floorstanders.

Well they’re £63,000 new and still a current model, so I’m going with scam.Quote:

Might be tempted myself! :)

Not so much little brother as cheaper later version. But still sound nice for the money, I've owned 2 pairs and never not enjoyed listening to them. I did pay less than £50 for each pair though.

5 grand.. I'm not surprised. Have to say I've not heard of them. But price for tweeters is astronomicQuote:

They did (P2 model?). They employed the Fane 'Ionofane' horn tweeter. The problem as I recall was a ceramic element that eventually eroded, don't recall the exact details.Quote:

Late Celestion HF2000 tweeters attracting a lot of bids. It'll be interesting to see what they fetch.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-Cele...53.m1438.l2649
Good pairs are getting pretty rare now and attracting higher prices.
Yeah and £20 postage!Quote:

my celestion 130's have the less desireable 1001 tweeter.. still they sell from 20 to 40 each, so probably worth more than the speakers lol. the 8" long throw drivers are decent too. i must get them stripped and dump cabs which is a shame
Up to £228 now. I hope the prospective buyer has noticed they are late ones with no screw holes. Clips have to be used.Quote:

Hope nobody's daft enough to buy these.
Are these used in the 66? Might be worth that to someone with a blown pair.Quote:

They are, although I believe the 66 version has the screw holes. Not a big problem as clips are available.Quote:

Looks like KEF Kit 3 in a coffin to me! :)
Boxes are too big, but worth having for spares as they are late series drivers.

£300 would be about my limit for a good set of pukka Concertos.
I sold a pair to an Asian gentleman 2 years ago for £120 🥲Quote:

I remember reading that the Concerto cabinet was sub optimal in size for the drivers which I do buy given the B139 can work with more volume I think. So these might be quite nice actually. If it was me I'd upgrade the crossover to the improved aB variety that I think Falcon Acoustics do.

They have now changed the description to Kef hybrid speakers

Been looking at all sorts of stuff recently, especially AV receiver's and one thing keeps cropping up on eBay and that is older receivers without a remote control, sometimes this is not such an issue but with old Cambridge AVR'S like the 540r with it's linear style volume control it is.
I've lost count on how many I've seen for sale at inflated prices without the remote? Makes me wonder what are they doing with it? They were pretty hefty well made things as I remember.
so they can sell the remote seperately for a fortune??;)Quote:

If someone wants a Pioneer PL-A35 Turntable (yes I know automatic) then keep an eye on this little listing
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-P...1142%7Ciid%3A1
It is for the TT plus a newish stylus and instructions ,but its miss-described as a PL 115 or whatever ,in London for local collection , and the pictures are crap and show instructions for a BSR TT too . £40 start no bids
Might appeal to you crazy collectors :eyebrows:
Looks like an auto version of the PL-12 (not PL-12D).Quote:
