I've just made an offer of nine quid! Could be in with a chance. :lol:
You bloody cheapskate Geoff.
I've sent one for £12.99 (and a blowjob)
S.
He is having a giraffe. These speakers are rare solely because they were crap and no-one bought them. The drivers may be worth £20 at a push. I quite like the Jordan/Bandor stuff on the whole, though.Quote:

Indeed. I often find that a consequence of my failing to sell something is that it remains in my posession. One of life's little mysteries...probably a Phd in it for someone.
Is he serious? £400 for an average condition pair of AR4Xa speakers!! £60 more like I'd say.

interesting EMI hand built speakers
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-lo...3D141784820214
Yes. They look unusual. The old EMI drivers looked crude, but actually sounded quite decent.Quote:

I can't imagine many were built, so possibly a "statement" item, hence the high price.Quote:

They are quite rare and the sound quality is excellent, pretty powerful too. Unusually, it has a very good input for low output MCs (and normal MMs).
I suspect the look of this will be a bit marmite but I like it, anyone know whether they sound any good? Not a lot of money.

Whats the virtual battery lark Geoff? is it a battery, or capacitors running the signal stage?? if batteries can you still get them, or do you need to make them up? looks decent and if you reckon it then interestedQuote:

Being an older amp (circa 1990), it's less likely to have loads of relays and 'logic' bits to play up. Mine is fine.
must be using caps then. It says "Virtual Battery" and ive read something re this a while ago but cant find it now. its on my list...thanks:)Quote:

Not overly sure if this pair are a bargain,. but I had a standard PM66se amp back in the day when I first got into modern separates and found it to be a nice bit of kit... so two KI sig pieces available here, albeit there are some who aren't fans of the Ken Ishiwata sound...

No idea Shane... I could never afford them at the time and can only comment on what I've read since...
It's like the sound of Ishing Water.

I don't know what this term "hipster" is now supposed to mean to people who don't live in East London (like I do) but items at high prices like these are normally sold by middleaged men who are have made their money flipping houses and whos dress style is exclusively some Polo or Ted Baker shirts tucked into light blue jeans and brown belt. Perhaps they're used to buying over-priced retro stuff at Nottinghill's decades old, expensive shops - far from hipster land in time and place.Quote:

People bordering on being hipsters I see about are after cheap stuff themselves, more into skip finds than trying to get £400 for a £60 pair of speakers.
thought they were trousers :doh:
Not Hi Fi, but thought I must post:

Me too. Mine had front 'patch pockets' and were in grey green check. Most tasteful. :DQuote:
