At the moment. The serious bidders are likely to be trade and will pounce at the last knockings! ;)

Looks like some nut paid way too much for an empty pair of old KEF Concerto cabinets.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOW-SOLD-K...item1e97e0634c

That's about twice what a mint working pair with drive units are worth in my opinion.

Authenticity That's what the buyer will be wanting, probably does not realise the cost..they are in very good condition {apart from the finish} it will be worth it for the buyer i suppose.

That's just crazy. A pair, complete with drivers, was recently sold for £109.. what is wrong with people.. :doh:

I think you'll find its three speakers, not three pairs of speakers.

I've lusted after one for the last five years, but they're a bit dear new (at least £1200 for a cartridge is by my standards). Hopefully, this will be a good one!

This will be four ZYXs in my collection now. I may sell one of my R100s.

Wow, I've just been trying out my newly arrived ZYX R100 Yatra. I thought the regular R50 and R100 were great, this sounds really awesome. The sound is similar but more of it all, more expansive soundstage and depth, more impact, more sweetness and detail. The sound is literally seeming to construct itself in front of me independently of the speakers. And that's just through the little Usher S520s, which are astonishing me with their ability on the end of a good amp. God knows how this is going to sound through the Tannoys. All good stuff. Well pleased.

Not surprising. The seller obviously does not know what they have there. They look like Tannoy Corner York enclosures, which have Silver 15" drivers. They look near mint. Fabulous. Just watch what they sell for. It'll be well into the thousands. the Vintage dealers will be all over these.

(Ha. See Andr'e pipped me to the post :))

I did recognise them as soon as i saw them listed. and to think he was given them! Wish someone would give me some, lusted after some for ages but i very much dought iv ever be able to afford some now as the prices have rocked of late.

Too small to be Yorks. They are almost certainly Canterbury 12" Silvers. Should go for about £4k but they look to be better than usual so could go for a lot more.

Having another look I reckon you're right Clark. Nice though. I've heard the 12" Silvers and found them very natural sounding.

So why are Tannoy's so expensive?

As some may know I've owned a pair of DMT 15's and I was not impressed at all... ;)

You should hear a good pair on the right system. They aren't perfect (what is?), but what some of them can do is sheer magic. Mine definitely and they are my twenty second pair (got it properly right at last). I love the things.

Anytime you're in London give me a shout and you can have a listen.

There are some daft buggers about.
