£1000 for a pair of Tannoy IIILZ speakers. They just aren't that good.

I just saw those and I believe them to be totally overpriced... what is it with Tannoy's ? I just don't get the silly prices being asked... :doh:Quote:

I had one for a while and it really is a great match for LS3/5a's... ;)

Never thought highly of that pairing, at that particular time of auditioning.

Could be of interest to some, looks like late 70's crimson amps , + 2 pre amps. nicotine stained knobs, great item description.:)
I had this pairing in the eighties - with the upper preamp in the listing - I think it was 170 watts into four ohms, less into eight. I made it from a kit. Not too shabby - I seem to remember it easily seeing off my mates Naim kit (NAP 160?). I replaced it with a Krell KSA 100 mk2/KSL. Better, yes, but the Crimson stuff stayed with me for nearly a decade very happily and musically.Quote:

blow me look at the state of the caravan he is selling. only fit for chickens n scrap:lol:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Ca...item3cf3456484
That's a 'Des Res' by my standards! :)
That caravan looks allright to me. Lots of famous people lived in caravans - Jim Rockford, Riggs out of Lethal Weapon, Trapper John MD (he had it sorted, parked it up in the hospital car park, 2 minute walk and he was home), Alan Partridge, Petrocelli...(although the last two were just technically living in them until their houses were built, I grant you).
You can add Marvin Gaye to that list.Quote:

Worth a tenth of the price in my view.
Original 35 year old Dynavector 10X high output MC cartridge. I had one new back then, they weren't very expensive but sounded rather nice. This looks like a good example. The seller has decent stuff.

I think it was last week someone on AOS wanted additional weight for their 'SME '3009'

A couple of meridian monoblocks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2216918172...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
....and a Harman-Kardon PA2200 Power Amplifier http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1314350534...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I had Meridian '105' many years ago, never heard any Meridian's past those.Quote:

Im your man for Quantum Electronics Had '101'/'402'/ 2X205'.. Alser had '207DA' That Dual Active '207' was a great amp. You could power the '102' pre from the '207' or use the dedicated '402' PSU for the Pre...
I have a feeling it may not! :)Quote:

Had those in the link below aswell. ferk me when i think about it i was an Audio industries dream in the 80's/90's :rolleyes: There are very good sounding combo, That will be an easy fix what ever it is. Built like a tank, that aluminium enclosure/Sleeve is real heavy weight, weighs a ton.
On that note if i ever saw a mint Crimson Elektrik '510'/'520' at a good price id buy it for old times sake, this is the pre/power amp i used to run with the J.A Michell 'Hydraulic Ref' i used to have. Ace days them..
All this Memory lane mumbo Jumbo tonight! Don't worry im not Dying :D

good price
:thumbsup:
Marco seen these?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy15-I...item3f478322e7
Most interesting... Especially, as one driver is a 15" Monitor Red and the other a 15" Monitor Gold - and they claim that you can’t hear any difference!! :scratch: :hmm:
Marco.
Dat’s wot I thought, dude. You could easily pay that (and more) for one! Plus the bonus is that they’re in the UK, so no fannying about with import tax/duty or waiting ages for them to arrive :yay:Quote:

I'm sure someone obliging on the AOS would swap you another Monitor Gold for that pesky Red.:lol:Quote:

Build your own pair!
Lol… The point is, they are two totally different speakers with different electrical characteristics and different amplifier requirements, which consequently sound totally different!!Quote:

Therefore, to claim that both speakers advertised sound the same is nonsense, and as such, you’d be sat listening to two different sounds coming out of each speaker………….. :doh:

Bev, if there were two 15” Monitor Reds inside, those speakers would be worth about £5k (or more), and with Golds inside about £3.5/4k. However, with one of each, they’re worth, well……unless you’re deaf, into MONO and/or are Elton John’s greatest ever fan! :D
Marco.
So with mis matched drivers what are they worth? In my view nothing... I can't imagine my own speakers with mis matched drivers and I wouldn't pay anything at all for them... ;)Quote:

I'd also imagine, that if they are sold on at some future date, even if the Gold or the Red is replaced by whatever driver makes up the pairing that floats the buyers boat, the drivers here will be included, because they're Elton's drivers, and mismatched though they are, the mismatch is now well known - like it or not, part of the provenance.
Next up a genuine pair of designer fabric ears, the former property of Elton John. Provenance? Unassailable - the Tannoys recently offered on ebay are conclusive proof that Mr Johns ears were in fact cloth...
Nice LUXMAN TT
Lovely pair of AR 4xa
Refoamed the'll be a decent speaker although pretty sure the were veneered.Quote:
