They are extremely heavy and the buyer must have a second person to help him carry the speakers. We are on the 3rd floor with no lift.

I have heard a pair of these on a couple of occasions with EAR monos,was quite impressed at the time.

I had Glastonburys as my TV set-up for a few years. Great bass and good imaging. SOLID!!! cases.

 

[It Cost How Much!?!]

Oh yes, I think I am interested.

 

[Hap Hazzard]

But but Bob, can you make it up the stairs.

Classic Townshend, if in doubt fill it with plaster of Paris till no one can lift it. Worked on his speakers and decks for years.

 

[It Cost How Much!?!]

Well I was outbid by £10. Just as well, I have a back twinge at the moment.

i was outbid by 200 quid and im in wimbledon would have collected them for you bob as im due up to liverpool in a couple of weeks...ahh well

 

[Hornucopia]

So? Any of us?

Great pic, Hap! Reminds me of bits of Lisbon, where they hold a downhill Mountain Bike race!

One benefit of regular workouts... I can lift heavy speakers by myself Heddlunds, anyone?

I had a pair of Glastonburys, epic fail with a KT88 valve amp I had, the tweeters were working ok but there was barely a whisper out of the woofers. Cheapo SS unit from the back of the cupboard brought them to life and in the end they were bloody good. Not a one-man lift though for anything other than tweaking room placement.

Some speakers need welly, I guess. My TJL's are NOT valve friendly. And at 50kg's a piece, were an arse to get upstairs. Had to take them one at a time

That's why they had handle indents built in? Certainly an inert cabinet! I loved mine (seem to recall you nearly bought mine, Tom?)

My current TV speakers are even heavier, but have handles AND wheels! (Leak 3090s)
