Goodmans Magister

Unread post by Shuggie »

Just spotted a working pair of Goodmans Magister speakers for sale at £30. They are 3 way, with a 15" bass driver, cone midrange and dome tweeter. Any good?

I think these are supposed to be good old one's. But I'm sure someone more knowledgeable on these matter will be along later to pass comment.

Hugo - for the price of a couple of good bottles of wine it's got to be worth a punt. :)

These are seriously good speakers. Not fast and lucid like a Royd or Cube, but very sweet and musical with excellent scale. Far better than the old Celestions raved about at AoS. I would put a pair of Magisters up against 15 inch Tannoys any day, for me they are less coloured and better.

Shame! If I had the room, I would definitely try them!

Looks like I'm second in line, so have to wait a couple of days before hearing whether they're still available.

I had A pair until recently, bloody marvellous things! Well, well, well worth the money, just not the best looking speaker in the world.

I think if you leave the grills off they are hunky funky looking, but not wife peaceful relationship material.
