The speaker in the picture (one of a pair) where designed specifically for the 1996 RAMADA Hi-Fi show (held at Heathrow). They were part of a complete system comprising of 2 X 24 Carat Gold Plated Valve (GEC KT88 PP) Mono Block Amplifiers, Valve Preamp, CD player and DAC. The cabinets are in English Yewood measuring 44 inches X 17 inches X 17 inches and weigh in at 128 kilos (the pair)......the system was used for 3 days only at the show and moved from there to HARRODS in London were it was on roped off display for 4 months in the sound and vision section. Since then they have been in storage for the past 19 years. Currently I am selling these on ebay.

Sorry
Sorry, maybe it was me that was being touchy. Yes they are nice and sound even better than they look. Unfortunately they are all I have got left of the complete system as the amps, cd, dac, garrard were stolen about 17 years ago from the warehouse were it was all stored
