I just bought a pair of these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=160952299983

Full range 8 ohm 8" 10 watt drivers with 94db sensitivity selling at £6.25 a pair.

They actually measure around 7.9 ohms DC, which means they are nearer 10 ohm drivers really. I can see two pairs in cheap home built reflex cabinets making rather useful party speakers. Gives you 5 ohm, 20 watt rating per pair @ 97db efficiency producing over 110db at max. That's loud! And nobody's going to notice the lack of proper deep bass.

The magnets are tiny, they are a little coloured, but definitely a bargain!

You seem to have a nose for a bargain, Geoff. It's more than a bargain that when there's two.

£350 on BIN is pretty good for that level of player.

Martin, I would not be surprised to see it go for just an opening bid of £230, which will be a great bargain for someone. Consonance are not so well known over here and there's still quite a lot of prejudice against Chinese made gear …

At least, an add with proper pictures! :youtheman:

They should be more than just a play, you might even get surprised!

The Magnum SL is a nice old speaker, with a rather full seventies style of sound. Good drive units. You have to avoid keeping them anywhere too warm as the vinyl 'skin' on the bass driver can start lifting off. The crinkly vinyl surround on the midrange cone is normal, some were like it new. And the tweeter is a Phillips unit with a pretty detailed sound. They were a bargain for what you paid and could be tidied up easily enough.

Must say you did well, James. Never heard Magnum SL Speakers before.
