I've a pair of those too hanging around.

The ones you bought André are missing the screw things that are supposed to be stuck to the speakers and then fix them securely to the stands - Mine were attached to some Lentek S4s and the sticky foam pads certainly were well stuck!

Not sure why these didn't sell? Price was within reason. I did toy with the idea of making a bid as close enough for me to collect.

Most likely because of the seller - stained cabinets and (I'm guessing this bit) self-painted midrange enclosures. People don't like that. One was darker than the other..

Neither do people like photos with bright flash glare - makes things look bad and people are simply influenced by things like that in general.. even those who don't think they are.

Funny when people will dismiss say a bit of G-Plan for £10 when poorly photo'd by a private seller yet will fawn over the exact same thing when nicely presented on a retro furniture dealer's website for hundreds of pounds. These people are the main reason dealers make their money.

Same goes for hifi..

Plus also, another reason they didn't sell was because you didn't bid! Maybe you were subconciously put off by the above?

nah I was put off by the fact that it was £600 and I don't really need them - or have room for them.
