    Excellent bargain there and great condition! Just goes to show what a difference in price you can get if you've means and are willing to travel to pick things up in person.

    I don't quite understand the having room bit... What have you got hanging over your single 57s to mean that there's no room above them ?

    They will feel over bearing perhaps in a small room but they'd still fit.

    EDIT: Oh oops, seems that's already been said and answered! Even so, sounds like it's more of a room arrangement problem than size, negotiation with others living in the house about whether the speakers are infront of windows or walls.

    Don't suppose they're a bargain by thought some here might like them

    http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...153336&alt=web

    Seller also has a couple of Lowther drive units for sale.

    Not cheap are they? Still they are NP gear so will likely be very good.

    Not really relevant to the value of the speakers, but I did notice some typical seller nonsense in the returns policy.

    Return policy details
    only if the speakers does not work! All returns require a return authorization number and must be shipped within 72 hours of reciept. All shipping charges are the responsibility of the buyer and a 5% restocking fee will be applied to the refund based on the selling price of the item


    This of course is bollocks. If the speakers 'does not work'(sic), then the shipping charges are the responsibility of the seller and the restocking fee bit is gibberish.

    It's pretty obvious why he won't accept Paypal.

    Sellers may not like PayPal, but eBay terms oblige them to accept it. There's no 'opt out' as far as I'm aware.
