    Default FS: Chario Syntar 100 Tower speakers (pair)

    Small floorstanders (34 inches high).

    Lovely sound - is there an unmusical Italian speaker?
    Look good, too.

    3 way - tweet and mid on front panel, woofer fires downwards and exits between cabinet and plinth, nice compact design.

    VGC, PWO.

    Works well with grille covers on - and has obviously been used this way for a few years as the wood veneer has faded a bit (uniformly) and the veneer under the grille is darker. (see photos)

    Collection (GL17 near Lydbrook or maybe LD6 near Rhayader) or meet up - No courier - I don't have boxes.

    £250 or might do px/swapsies for something of interest to me.

    Is there a gap between bottom of speaker and floor for bass output, can't quite see from photos?

    Yup, here's a stock photo



    It's pretty much the same design as this pic of a different Chario model ...

    I have a pair of these , i plumb then in now and again instead of the FPS or Duevel speakers. Lovely speakers. I always forget how good they are... Good luck with the sale Jerry.

    Hmm, yes, thanks for that, Dave.
    They are very good, and small enough to tuck away - I won't be that upset if I end up keeping them!
    They'd make an enjoyable alternative to the rather more explicit and insistent presentation of the KEF R500 I have replaced them with.

    I had a pair back in 2002. I loved them.
    I would happily buy them if you weren't that far (267mi).
    Guys, this is a great sub £1000 speaker at a fraction of its price. Give it a try.

    They look very nice for the money Jerry - am I right on thinking the downward port will allow them to be placed quite close to back wall?

    I've had a pair of these - excellent speakers and yes they work well close to a back wall, that's where I had mine.
    The downward port works very effectively.

    It's a downward firing driver as well as a port.
    And yes, as Jules said they work fine near a boundary. That's where I have them.
    And thanks for your comments, Naass!
