For people like Andrew and others part of the fun is making a minger into a gem.

You won't be disappointed either way and the value of Royds is climbing if you ever want to sell them, but I'm betting you won't :D

Sintras also have the higher quality Scanspeak D2010 tweeter which is a lot less spiky then those used in other models. I'd be very surprised if these fetch less than £300, especially in the wood finish.

Went for £255 in the end. That seems like a pretty good price to me. Anyone here?

Not me. I'm a bit full up on speakers right now, although there's always room for something vintage needing a bit of restoration

That's a very good price - if I hadn't just bought Andrews Edens I'd have been all over these.
