    Thinking of partnering them with the Impulse H2 apropos achieving surround sound?

    My Eddingdales back up for sale after coffee and contemplation.

    Price reduction too, first and final one, down to £800.
    Collection only from just outside Glasgow.

    Grab a bargain folks whilst you can, call it a Christmas present to you and the Mrs.

    These are the Mk1’s which a few folk on here have said we’re the best sounding, and having heard versions 2 and 3 can’t disagree.
    I picked these up from new for £1500, they have the revised/improved crossover fitted.
    They got it right with this one, it’s where all the effort went in initially, and didn’t just change due to drive unit unavailability.
    * I think a couple of the OEM drive units are available from Colin Topps, the designer, if you need spares.

    Superb sounding speakers, very fluent in all the usual hifi superlatives and punch way WAY above their weight.

    Thanks.
    Gaz.

    From the above it sounds like the buyer will benefit from Simon's decision to pull out and buy the inferior later model. That one was an attempt to get closer to the magic of the first version when the drivers became unobtanium.

    Not sure where all this talk of the later model being inferior is coming from as it isn't.

    I have heard the originals on many occasions and own the SRs.

    The Mk 1's are great speakers as are the SRs.

    They're both voiced slightly differently but essentially share the same sound signature.

    I'd be happy with either...

    GLWTS, I somehow have a feeling you may at some point regret selling them though and the buyer will have bagged a bargain...

    Agreed.

    All versions sound terrific though, and are way above imo anything commercial at the price.
    Just my opinion of course.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    Nope, still here!

    Had a confirmed buyer, but unfortunately was Gazumped, and a few “I‘ll offer 500 quid less than your asking price” type of shenanigans.
    So yeah, still here.
