    Default For Sale Horning Perikles DX2 speakers

    For sale a pair of Horning Perikles DX2 speakers in cherry finish.In full working order and in excellent condition with minor blemishes only noticeable up very close. Approx dimensions 104cm tall, 26cm wide and 50cm deep.These are on the big side so I would not recommend anything smaller than a medium size hatchback to transport them.
    These use a modified Lowther DX2, a Tommy Horning supertweeter, and a 12" woofer round the back. Very efficient, sensitivity 96dB I think, valve friendly speakers. So ideal for flea/low powered amp users.
    £1500 located in Cheshire.

    Well the threat of a 200 quid fine is putting a lot of folks off but when things ease they will sell fast
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Is it against the law to courier them too?

    Yes, they're certainly interesting and look like a lot of speaker for the money.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
