Who's up for a "Cheap as Chips" Challenge?

[Dingdong]

Cult following? Are you sure you spelt that correctly?

Anyhow. I've just got my £5 hifi rack home and it's all looking pretty good now.
Shame it's a bit late to show my system at Scalford at the weekend. £54.98 can get you a reasonable sound.

Interesting that the subject of the LS3/5a has come up, as I was thinking of starting a thread about them, asking if they are "all that" - prompted by seeing a pair of early Chartwells going for even sillier money - I guess it is the "cult" following, and probably from the Far East that has driven the prices to silly money, especially on the Chartwells. Funny old world! Maybe there should be an extra special prize for anyone who can manage to get LS3/5a's into their Cheap As Chips Challenge system...

Anyway, back on topic...

I do need to sift through this thread and distil all the rules, and start an "official" thread I think - many thanks to Dave at Green Home Electronics for the generous offer of some prizes - and I am sure we can incorporate a sponsorship into the competition "Cheap As Chips Challenge sponsored by Green Home Electronics" sounds very grown-up and serious, doesn't it!

So - any more thoughts on the rules, please post asap.

99p for a perfect pair of Rogers 15 Ohm LS3/5a, not bad, unfortunately not me. I won a pair of tatty Celestion Ditton 15's on ebay for 99p, went to collect them (local) and the seller showed me his Rogers LS3/5a bought for 99p at a car boot sale. He also had a pair of B&W DM4's bought for £20.

He would not take the 99p for the Ditton 15's' but he got value from me as I helped him with some computer stuff.

My system will be making an appearance at Scalford on Sunday. Got a few cosmetic things to deal with in the meantime. And not just for the system.

lol, I have the same after tripping over due to uneven pavements, fractured nose, loads of blood from inside it and outside, black eye, bruised mouth, fractured bone in hand, broken rib and twisted ankle, not forgetting straining the recent hernia operation that I had.

Well done Mark - a year early - that is keen!

Ooh, nasty - sorry to hear that Alex - hope you're mended soon.
