    EDIT - and another one - Tannoy Devon, goosed surrounds, goosed cabinets and a silly asking price

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-DEV...EAAOSw5cNYY6w4

    Though at least this is accurately described. A few years ago this would have been £250.
    Notice the 'golds' are orientated so that the driver model number is not shown in the photos. Could have been taken from SRM cabinets, but I think more likely to be from Wildcats professional speakers. Same driver I believe. The crossovers look like HPD units, if so they will not give good results. The guy is definitely a chancer asking MG prices.

    The Devons are worth half that asking price.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I can imagine Geoff, they certainly have a sound of their own, you either like it or you don't, they also suit particular music types, i like to look at it this way, the Queen can drink any wine she wants, price isn't a factor, but her favourite is Mateus rose, it's just what she likes

    I would guess that one could probably add £1000 for crating and carriage from the US. Freighting from America is not cheap.

    Also, these speakers will be US voltage, so another factor to be taken into account.
