Thoughts on Heybrook sextet speakers?

[Danzilla]

Chance to grab a pair of Sextets. I see a few other Heybrook speakers mentioned here and there, but little here on AK about the Sextet model. Any thoughts?

In general is it much harder to resell a brand like this when most people here in the U.S. outside of audio enthusiasts probably haven't heard of them? They look nice and I'd like to try them out, but I try to only add to my growing horde when I know I can eventually make my money back, if not profit.

No one's heard them, or just not worth talking about...?

Not a common speaker in N.A.

This speaker is legendary in the UK, and also fairly well known in Denmark, where I live.
I have owned a pair for a couple of years now, and I'm still very satisfied.
They have a clean, smooth, transparent sound, ideal for classical or jazz music. Hardrockers should probably look elsewhere for more punch.
Bass is not super deep, but sufficient - and good. They are a bit bright sounding, should match well with a warm sounding amp. I have mine hooked up to a Linx Stratos preamp and a Linx Pulsar power amp. I miss a bit more sparkle, but really this is close to ideal for me.
Also, they are well suited to placement up against a wall, as the reflex port is firing downward. And they will be good both in a small or large room.
Of course, it depends on what you're looking for...
