The seller his off his bloody rocker. He describes the speakers as efficient @ 82.5 db and in good condition.Originally Posted by walpurgis
While these speakers are a true classic for near-field monitors they are very far from efficient, especially as they are rated at 15ohms.

Are those "port straws" original ? They look it but I've not seen that on a commercial speaker before http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-of-Vi...item3cd751384a
Yes, I remember Celef using them in their designs.

Those Celef Monitors are worth grabbing at that price considering the excellent condition. I'd buy them if I had room for them.

I've always wanted a pair. If he had been willing to post them I would have bought them.
Did they use Sea's drivers?

I used to own a pair of these, paid £70 in 1973. Replaced them with a pair of Rogers LS7's in 1981.

Looks like a Kef B200 & Peerless tweeter... I could be wrong though !

You are correct. It's the big magnet B200 from the Cadenza and a superb 19mm soft dome Peerless tweeter in what is possibly their best implementation.
