Good stuff. The drivers alone are worth more.

Total bargain on ebay- I would buy these in a heartbeat if I was anywhere nearby- better than the 104 or 104ab.

They look a bit like the Cambridge R40 with the grills removed.
Cambridge R40 and the taller R50 are both classic "Transmission Line"
loudspeakers, fyi.

I know- I have a pair of R50 that I cannot sell, because no-one anywhere near me wants to buy them...

So sorry to hear this, maybe it's a blessing.
I have each a pair of R40s and Boxed R50s with their original packing, both in storage, they will need attention to work properly as they have been in storage unused since 2003.
Edit: Cambridge R50s were the first ever proper loudspeaker I listen to in a basement flat owned by a flatmate, being driven by a Quad 33 303, TT was a connoisseur BD1, Arm was the SAU2 and cartridge fitted was a Shure M75ED.

I feel much better now, I really do...
Well the boring 8000A is now gone to a better place (sold)
Now using my Ditton 25s on the Tandberg 2075. Lovely sound.
Bit of an input issue as it will only do 2 x phono and 2 x tape recorders, no aux. The phonos are really close so I have used a couple of 5 pin din to 4 phono leads for the reel to reel and the minidisc. The Nak tape deck has no connection yet but I can double up the input using the spare tape 1 phono input for my cdp. Tape 2 phono will do for the Nak but at the moment it will not fit in the gap left by the departing 8000A and 8000T.
I need a Nak tape deck that isn't so high as an LX3

Try a pair of Dynaco A25s.

Don't pour that salt! I'm trying already 2 months to get them from some seller in Denmark, then he is on vacation, then he can't find apropriate box to pack them together. Frustration!
