Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

Unusual driver set-up on these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXCEPTIONA...3D141955216991

...but look at the frequency spec, they quote at -16dB and -10dB

They're honest, in other words...

Too may tiny floorstanders out there quoting response down to 40 Hz but they never say how far down they are in level - or they just lie. But as long as people continue to mistake lots of mid-bass for deep bass it will continue.

Technics have been employing rectangular ABRs in a few of their speakers. Not heard any, but they are supposed to be decent.

Just try getting new foam surrounds for those rectangular units when they inevitably fall apart !

Very rare and very good. ESS AMT1 Tower speakers. (Heil Air Motion Transformer)

I'd love these. I heard a pair years ago. They sounded amazing. The AMT unit gives superb mid and top and the transmission line cabinet produces some of the best bass I've heard.

I like AMT drive units, hence owning Mark & Daniels. No idea how their implementation would compare to these, though. Not going to dump 2K to find out.

Never heard a pair. But I find that asking price a bit manic!!

it's £2K per speaker and he has 4 speakers so £4k for a pair

At that price I'd want to see photographs that show a bit more than some knackered grille cloth.

The seller is an idiot, Martin.

Still damn good speakers though!

[Macca]

No, I don't think he is an idiot, but either he lacks experience selling expensive items or they are in shit state and he doesn't want to advertise the fact. I suspect the former.
