Very kind of you mukka I will take you up on the invitationPop round one of the days buddy, I believe we live fairly near to each other.
Yes, at the time of purchasing 'The Albion', I had spares for my ELA (unofficial Mk1.25) in mind (i.e. half-fluted with same Royd sourced RR11 8-bolt bass/mid driver).You could always look out for mk1 Rega Ela (fully fluted version) - they do come up on eBay from time to time (at low price imo)
Drop me a PM and we’ll get it sorted.Very kind of you mukka I will take you up on the invitation
Yup, and I still have a bunch in my various systems, and they're still making lovely music. RR3 is in the family room; the Minstrel SE and AV77 in the home theater; the Sintra 2 connected to my office computer; the Seven in my son's bedroom; and the Squire sitting idle.IIRC, It was our @Mike Hanson who was among the first to wax lyrical about 'The Albion', both on here and on the Naim forum. It was his endorsements that had me...naw, I would have had them regardless.
You are obviously 'The' Royd fan, Mike!Yup, and I still have a bunch in my various systems, and they're still making lovely music.

A friend loves my Albions; I encouraged another friend to get Doublets; and my sister has my A7X.
You could say I'm a Royd fan.
I was considering the doublets in the sales forum here... But holding out.
I've not talked to Terry in more than a decade.You are obviously 'The' Royd fan, Mike!
P.S. I've been trying to get Terry R. to part with a box of gummed up Royd bass/mids for years. Have you had any contact with him of late?
Admiring your newly found restraint
Nothing lasts forever, except Keith Richards possibly, and I'm sure lots of good stuff has gone in the bin.
Finally, a practical reason to install cable lifters!I'm thinking about the toys to come, Tim, and how expensive brand new toys can be...
Incidentally, get hold of some Orange oil, and apply sparingly around the rear of your hifi/av setups...
It'll stop the cats shitting on your cables again.
The wee Royd drivers present a good learning experience when it comes to a re-foaming exercise.I have a pair of A7 MkIIs, which I bought from Better Hi-Fi in Liverpool in 1988/9 and loved, but the foam on the drivers perished some years ago, alas. My main speakers have been Rega Ela 1.25 since I bought them new in 94, and the Royd drivers on those are still near mint. I consider upgrading from time to time but like 'em too much.

As Ela mk1’s were mentioned, I’ve got a pair in the loft. When I bought them, onevtweeter wasn’t working. However, when I tested it out of the cabinet, it was. I can only assume it’s a crossover problem, but have never managed to find any help/ info to repair them. Anyone out there?
