Starting low. Looks to have a saggy CW so not quite a minter.

But the listing says "perfect sound". This must be a true advance in Hi-Fi!!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

The sale is nothing to do with me, I just happen to own a pair and love them.

Perhaps not to everybody's taste particularly the aesthetic but hey they do sound good and at this price are probably a bargain.

Indeed, Andy. Gorgeous things, and a bit of a Billy Bargain, if you ask me! Especially for anyone wanting a 'proper' pair of Tannoys... Quite simply, for £3k, no modern speakers would get *anywhere near* to achieving what those GRFs can do with music

That is a very reasonable price especially as they seem to be in showroom condition.

Indeed, the seller is selling himself WAY short, IMO, most likely to encourage a UK sale and collection in person. He'd more likely get double that from a Jap buyer on ebay, but then would have the not inconsiderable task of trying to get them there in one piece....

If they didn't look absolutely hideous and the wife would consequently have them in the lounge (she won't), I'd be in the car on the way to Essex
No, sorry, I'd be in a hired transit
