Box. I suspect you are the only one here who looks for Sony speakers. It's just not a name that is naturally associated with serious loudspeakers in audio circles. That's not to say there's anything wrong with them though.Quote:

Can't advise you Box. I know nothing about them. All I can say, is it's not where I'd be looking for speakers.Quote:

at 35 quid you can hardly go wrong.
Not ebay...but on the wam....a real billy bargain for someone...if they don't mind the minor damage to the amplifier case......and I dare say a new/used cover could be had from somewhere...(I have no link to this sale...)..ARCAM A90 AMP AND A CD72 CD PLAYER....FOR £200.00 THE PAIR

These look awful nice ...

I am a bit of a tat expert and know nothing about these ,but I can assure you I wouldn't part with more than £100 for themQuote:

S.
not seen that little beaut b4.
Usually these days, you'd expect to pay £250 to £350 for a decent one. However, the way vintage stuff has been going silly on prices lately, I would not like to predict the way bidding goes on this.Quote:

I am 'borrowing' the Sony SS3's at the moment and I am just listening to the music.Quote:

Bugger! These things always come up at the wrong time. This one is on my list. I have the pre and tuner and have always wanted to complete the set. Can't justify spending as much as this will go for.Quote:

I believe Grant (struth) has a pair of these..

put a couple of bids in to help it along but didnt get control of the board Jamie;)Quote:

Beautiful sounding amps. That's half what they're worth. Dirt cheap.Quote:

So it is. I missed that. Not paying attention again :).Quote:

If I hadn't already got two I'd have this immediately, even if it made me skint for a month.
+1... and when I had mine, I was always curious as to how these would sound in bridged mono configuration...Quote:
