Re: FoTF Royd Speakers
I know they were designed by Joe, alongside the Royd Apex. I could be wrong (or bought the hype at the time) but weren't the Elas then "voiced" by Roy Gandy. I know they ended up with a different crossover to the Apex but I've never heard the latter, so I've no idea just how different the two actually sound.Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote:Early Rega speakers are Royds, Joe Ackroyd designed them.

Don't buy into the bullshit 
if he changed anything it could only be for the worse. He is not a designer.

And nor should they Jammy, I am far from a politically correct person but that program was crass and an insult to all black people.

Re: FoTF Royd Speakers
I love my Mk 1 Elas. Probably the best speaker I've ever owned, and cost me all of £165!
Had a friend round the other day, and told him they were 30ish years old. Then I took the grilles off and explained that the drivers were replacements for the originals that I'd lifted from a Mk 2 Escort at a breakers yard :D He bit
Cued up 'Crash Test Dummies' and pressed play. Just seeing his jaw drop was worth every penny of the purchase price and more. Priceless
I want to try the Doublets now, and some Albions if I can find them.

Re: FoTF Royd Speakers
Amps? If you you mean the Audiolabs, then yes. £400 the pair, and good value at that if you ask me. Yours are better, but I think the Audiolabs are good too.Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote:Did you manage to sell those amps in the end?

Re: FoTF Royd Speakers
Good news for Royd users someone will repair drivers. I got this email from a customer.
"Audio Loudspeakers in Great Yarmouth. An Email to Paul Seago
confirmed "no problem". £35 per driver."
