Yes I've bought a few items off eBay where the seller has mentioned this thread in correspondence even though they don't appear to be members here.

They never fix their spelling, grammar or over-pricing when it is pointed out; but just mention that something is underpriced and they are straight on the job

I might put an offer in. Does £17 sound about right?

Geoff, regarding the previously mentioned CS-77, do you know the Pioneer CS-66 speakers? They should be of the same gen and I could get my hands in 2 pairs of those but I'm a bit doubtful of their real value, sound and price wise.

I paid £90 for my last one but it did need a squirt of contact cleaner in the volume pot

The pioneer CS-66 were quite expensive in the UK in the early seventies, costing nearly as much as a pair of Quad electrostatics.

It looks a simple enough design. 10" main driver in a sealed cabinet:



I'd imagine they sound decent enough. Don't be put off by the cone tweeter. The Japs made some rather good sounding ones. I reckon these would be worth having at a sensibly modest price. The sensitivity should be high, so they'd probably work nicely on just a few watts and may suit a valve amp well. I personally reckon they might be worth £80?

PM on your way, cheers!

If you're anywhere near Kent these Radfords may be worth a look. One day left:

I spotted these earlier this week and the missus and I were having a giggle over the name of the village where they are located. I lived in Kent for 20 years and I've not heard of it, must be down in the south of the county as I know North Kent very well. Interesting speakers
