Much needed home repairs forces sale. Looking for £650 firm. These speakers will be familiar to many of this parish as the work of master craftsman Colin Topps (Toppsy). These were I believe his prototype MK1 for what would lead to the MK2 and later Norge designs. Highly sensitive so sound great with low power valves, but also seem to like Arcam watts up them. These big boys give you scale and depth in abundance. There's a separate tweeter sensitivity dial on the back, I like them not far off fully open. Whilst they've never been out of the house under my ownership these were a demo pair previously used at various shows and bake offs so there are some minor cosmetic blemishes hopefully highlighted in the pics. Full and interesting thread on these speakers and some of their development here: theartofsound.net/forum/showt...le-LoudspeakerNeedless to say they're pretty big and fairly heavy so collection from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear or I can deliver them with a reasonable radius for petrol costs. PM me to discuss. Note, guitar shown in the pics is for scale and not included in the sale. Payment by cash, bank transfer or PayPal gift pls.

Thanks chaps.
I'd been keeping these in cotton wool for when I finally get a dedicated music room.
Sadly it turns out I need a new roof on the house first.

Now I have to avoid temptation on two forums.
I am surprised that neither of your speakers have sold.

Ohhh Rich, yum! I hankered after a pair of these around 12 months ago, but I'm just glad that a) I'm happy with my current speakers and b) your far enough away from me that getting them to me would be a right royal pain... fantastic price for a super pair of speakers, so GLWTS
