    Yes have them up and running. Sound ok but not great as I don't have a crossover yet. Work well in the room though.

    Sorry to hear that Jon, it's all downhill from here

    If you thought those were interesting then look out for the big brothers. From what i can remember they use 9 (though it could have been 8 with one in the middle missing??? Doesn't sound right but could be) of the same bass/mids on bass duty (think they are 5.25") what looked like an 8" or 10" for midrange & of course a dome tweeter.

    Very odd looking but very nice sounding

    Wow, went for £750.

    They auctioned another one of these earlier this year or late last year and it fetched £430 odd - I was tempted back then but shouldn't start a project without finishing my many others.

    EDIT. I am truly flabbergasted by these small stand mounts. No way did I think when I ordered them as 'spares' or maybe to use in the kitchen that they would sound anywhere near as good as they do. I am truly shocked.
    Some small speakers that are long forgotten are quite good I've found. Maybe there's less to go wrong. Certainly people don't tend to idolise them like some larger ones.

    Even my found-on-a-skip Gale Monitors which find it hard to fetch £10 on Ebay are pretty good..

    The magazine endorced small cheap monitor was the Morduant Short MS10i - between £25 and £45 ebay prices.
