    Default FS - Rega R9 and Larsen 4.2 Speakers

    Having a bit of a rationalisation so both my Rega R9 and Larsen 4.2 speakers are up for sale.

    Rega R9

    I bought these back in 2014 and they had been out on long term loan with a few people as I can't quite get them to work well in my room(s).

    They are a '3-way design' with an external crossover mounted to the rear of the cabinet. The 8" bass driver has no crossover, and used in a transmission line enclosure. The classic Rega RR125 mid bass is used along with a Morel 1" tweeter and an additional 19mm Scanspeak tweeter.
    The crossover has a bass attenuation option to help room integration.

    I would describe them as grown up versions of the smaller R-Series. I have had the R1, R3, R7, Alya & Jura, which were all great but generally lacking in bass depth and treble smoothness. These R9s are a step up, superb fast bass, still easy to drive and reasonably efficient at aroun 89dB.

    They are in great condition, in Cherry veneer. One has a small chip on the top rear corner, the other a smaller ding on the same corner. I don't have the grilles to hand but I'll dig them out.
    There are a few marks on the outriggers, the original spikes will be supplied.

    These don't come up often but I'm looking for £1100.

    Collection only from Faringdon, nr Swindon








    Larsen 4.2

    Pair of the newer Larsen 4.2 speakers in black finish.

    In great condition. Few smudge marks shown are fingerprints due to the satin finish. One has a very small scratch as I've tried to show but only shows in certain light.

    Designed to work up against rear walls if you need some discreet but big sounding speakers.
    Comes with the original box and packaging etc.

    Looking for £600.

    Courier Delivery £25 or can deliver locally.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “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.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Very under appreciated speakers. Maximum waf as should be tight against front wall. I use 8.2's, just a bigger version of these ones offered. Respect.

    Would be interested in swap/PX for some ATC Scm10 or large Tannoys (Dover, Caernavon, Stirling etc or similar)
