    I may well have a cheeky bid, could be fun!

    Not really but at the 99p asking price, they are OK.

    This is much better, from the same era.

    Asking price is ludicrous but those tall cabinets are fetching good money on their own and are pretty rare. Wouldn't mind one myself.
    This is outrageous cool.

    Worth the money provided it actually sounds OK and that dodgy creased driver is actually alright for all intents and purposes.

    They went for about nine quid plus the petrol money so I passed - I’m sure I will get over the disappointment eventually!

    The KEF 105s went for £621. Not sure if that’s good or not, but seems a lot of speaker for the money.

    Bargain. I reckon a modern speaker of that capability you're looking at seven grand new, maybe more.

    Proper Rotel Michi power amp from the 1990s

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/198404833...AAAX2BMjfV27sg

    And the matching passive pre-amp from a different seller

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/406724357941?

    Wanted these back when they first came out.
