This pair have been up for at least a couple of months, just noticed they've dropped the price a bit;

I’m a bit colourblind, especially in electric light as now, but are the first pair a ‘gold label’? If so that is significant and could prove a bargain for someone.

Didn't spot that. The label certainly looks gold in the pic, could just be the light the pic was taken in though.

Would have if they were gold label versions the dealer selling them would know that & mention it in the ad.

Vintage 1970's Chartwell Electro Acoustics LS3/5A Speakers for the BBC | eBay

But what about these... chipped, scratched, water marked - and wants £3600!

Madness.

With a bodged 'similar / same type' woofer to boot (NOT!). Worth about £36.00 then...

Damn - I was planning on bidding on the last day of the auction. Must have got an offer he couldn’t refuse.

They are also the kit build Project Symphony version, not factory ones.

I’m a little surprised Falcon LS3/5as don’t move quickly on eBay.

Anyone selling Old Chartwells or Rogers seem to achieve high prices.
For speakers that will be well out of spec. by now.

It must be the Far East Collectors, as anyone with an ounce of sense would go for
something recent ( the Falcons ) which is in spec.

Bargain, wonder what happened as they had no bids. The Nintronic ones have been up for ages, I bought the gold pair they had, but not at the price they were asking. Probably paid more than I needed to but I still saved a chunk of cash and I'm happy.

There was one bid so it was probably cancelled after the seller received a good offer and then sold off eBay to avoid fees?
