That's a beautifully realised project. Well done! An awful pity you're selling/swapping them on. I built a two box valve phono stage one time and even though I seldom use it I wouldn't sell/swap it for the world.

Beautiful speakers, I’m not in the market, but I can appreciate the work you put into these.
A lovely job and a steal for that asking price.
Best of luck with the sale.

Very nice project. I have a pair here I built with some FE206 that I'm very fond of. I built the Sachiko variant, double mounted back loaded horn. Beautiful sound, very tuneful bass.
i would agree, great pricing there for someone who wants to try out a triode amp, or a low wattage amp.

It is an essential service, shouldn't be a problem!

I have only just now realised you meant the ACTUAL Guards, rather than the gatekeepers at home...!

I don't expect to be in Galway any time soon, but happy to act as a staging point if willsandbills is heading towards Dublin any time.
