Not been on here in a while and just looked at this thread..
At £260 for a pair of 15XRs I think you lost.. in my own opinion of course.Quote:
"Just won these on Ebay..."
Fair play to the Hi-FiHouse seller - he takes good photos and gets prices way over average.
Many, many of the £50 - £90 15XRs are also just as mint and the only thing that holds the prices back are that the seller doesn't have a dealer-like reputation, the photos taken and the shipping options (i.e. many are collection only and bidding is restricted to UK only bidders).
You need to be more canny in my opinion although of course many people do give value to having it all served up on a plate for them and so willing to pay over twice what you need. Personally that's not my way, hence my opinion.
Little Trio 'KA2000A' arrived yesterday spent all morning cleaning it up, It's come up beautiful, aluminium facia with brushed stainless laminate on top, it now wants a tiny bit of work on the black strip, a bit of paints away right at the bottom (you can just see it), like they do but no worries.I spent more time on the knobs with the electric toothbrush n' washing up liquid.. :lolsign: It's a minter now tho..

Hi Nat,
Sure. I can't argue with any of that :)Quote:

However, as far as I'm concerned, I won, because I've got a lovely mint (yes, mint, lol) pair of vintage speakers, which not only sound fantastic and outperform most modern stand-mount speakers, far in excess of what the Celestions cost me, but look great in the traditional setting of the lounge in our 19th century lodge.
The £260 I paid may indeed be 'over the odds', but those particular Celestions ticked all the right boxes for me, and to be honest, I've got cables in my system which cost more, so price wasn't an issue.
I listen to them every day and they give Del and I a great amount of enjoyment when listening to our favourite music, so for me, it's a win-win all round! :cool:
Marco.
Ok i didn't exactly "win" them but it's a good buy in my mind so check it out if your looking for some decent rca cables http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Ok i'm pissed off beyond belief that i let a chilton R-R fly by, it was just too far away & would have deffo got broken in the post.Went for less than seventy notes! :steam:
I saw that & it struck a chord when yer man from Sheffield mentioned them as one of the lines from his old shop.
Low, low price, no?
