    Never mind what they look like, have a look at the feedback score of only 4 and most of it low value non-hifi. Rather contradicts the description text which says "We've Been On eBAY Since 1998 !!!".

    The only high value item is that B&O system with the item description written in Italian & the + feedback written in pigeon Englsh... I've reported it now anyway.

    Here's the real listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Siltech-Pant...-/321204785098

    I thought exactly the same thing, even before I saw your comment. Who'd want a couple of Daleks in their listening room? Hideous!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I'll bet they would sound rather good given modern amps and sources.

    Sorry to say I sold them for not much money with my Fons Deck and my big chunky Rotel amp.
    From memory the biggest improvement in components, checked one at a time at Grahams was the Isobariks.
    The least I thought was the LP12 over the Fons !

    Oh, indeed they do.

    A full re-wire and some decent capacitors in the tweeter's signal path work wonders, too.
