Royd Sapphire MK1

Unread post by southall-1998 »

The Mark 1 Royd Sapphire (Single Wired), are they efficient speakers? Sorry to be daft here, but hard finding big info on these Royds!

Richard,

Another daft question. Why are Royds often partnered with Naim?

Purely because most Naim dealers became Royd stockists. The dealers decided to adopt Royd as part of the *approved* flat earth list. It was all politics, and thoroughly irritated Joe Ackroyd, but you take the business that is given to you.

I see.

Sorry to be picking your brains, Richard.

Did Joe Ackroyd recommend a particular amp for all his Royd speakers? Or did he just leave it up to the owners?
