That's a lot of money for a box of potentially f**ked valves.

Some Rega Jura 2's. Good looking, vintage Tannoy-like tonal balance and this pair are cheap...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REGA-JURA-...item4ab4635830
P.S. Jura 1's had a black base and the drivers were set slightly lower in the cabs (from memory). The bass was better on the mk2,not needing the "sideways sponge bung" treatment...
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

{COUGH}! Come again??
Dunno what 'vintage Tannoys' you're referring to, mate, but the Jura's sound nothing like any I've heard!!

When did you hear Jura's Marco, which ones and what with? They've certainly got far less midrange colouration than many Tannoys out there, they sparkle like the DC tweeters can and do (in 6, 8, 10 and 12" models anyway) and the bass on the mk2 Jura rolls out in a fairly similar way. Your Lockwoods are NOT standard in any shape or form now and a rather different kettle of fish to what everyone else would hear from a commercial pair of 1970's Tannoys on the open market..
I didn't say I didn't like them, quite the opposite, and sold a good many. FAR more fun than spiteful old Ela's any day

Hi Guys,
Reckon the Jura's would be an improvement on Royd Doublets ?

It may be possible to get them serviced, should a driver be blown accidentally. Not sure Royds can be repaired now, but could be totally wrong in this assumption.

Hi Dave,
I've heard Jura's both in a friend's system and in a dealer's demo room. They were ok little floorstanders, albeit it rather 'fruity' in the bass. Not really my thing. I much preferred the Naos, which to my ears, were more realistic and much less 'fluffy' and coloured sounding.When did you hear Jura's Marco, which ones and what with?

However, as to them sounding anything like vintage Tannoys, for me, NO WAY. Forgetting about my Lockwoods, which you wouldn't even mention in the same breath as Juras (
Sorry, Dave, I don't really know where you're coming from with this!
