Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

[TazSob]

If anyone near Nantwich fancies a bit of a gamble, my spidey-senses are 92.3% sure these "Bargain Goodmans" speakers are RB65s.

If this is the case then they'll probably need re-foaming but are well worth the effort.

Going to bid on them, wouldn't mind them stands.. Will let you know if I win them

I think these MAY be RB65's - if so, they are a 3 way with a 12" bass unit with foam surround which may have rotted out unless replaced.' Lively' and somewhat unrefined top end, coloured midrange and oodles of bass. Below the Achromat range at the time - in line with the old Wharfedale XP2's although no XP2 with a 12' driver - sold loads in Comet in 70's early 80's. Loads of fun for possibly not much money. Worth a punt, in my opinion, foam surrounds notwithstanding.

This guy does not know what drivers are in the speakers. Loads of other HIFI stuff in his other ads, so assume he has a bit of an idea. States they would look good in any home, no mention of how they sound.

They look hideous though. Cheap nasty terminal plate on back doesn't say much for them.

Terminal plate doesn't say much for them, the seller doesn't say much, the carpenter who built them doesn't say much, but would look good in any home.
Depends on if you have a wood burner.
Well to be honest, i have seen far worse looking speakers. You would think he would give more info on the sound. He has amps, CD player, etc in other items, so just seems dodgy to me, could be wrong though.

I'll stick with my Tannoys I think!

But they might outdo any Tannoy!

The mid and upper bass drivers look to be from the B&W '6' series, as does the port. They seem to be made from the remenents of a B&W 684, the tweeter is not correct though so maybe they got blown, hence the re-build.
