[Audio Deacon]

Dont know, but they look like they could be expensive.

What's the knocker for?
Tannoys have a good rep but I'm not familiar with these, gotta be worth a few bucks though. On spec I'd go a few hundred understanding they'd be hard to flip.

To test cabinet density? LOL You could prob. part the drivers for at least a couple hundred or more depending on what they are. That being said the person selling them may know this as well.

CL does not allow auctions
should be flagged

 

[Fisherdude]

Flagged.

 

[cubby01]

ditto.

 

[89grand]

I flagged it too.

I think these will be in the category, "if you have to ask, you can't afford them".

And do you think they are not Tannoys?

My thought on both counts.:yes:

 

[Sluggo]

Not sure about the Tannoy's but it looks like a Sansui AU-9500
Sitting on top of the Left speaker !
But he'll most likely want an offer on that too

Some great pics and info on Tannoy's there!

 

[Nat]

Yeah - the driver in the right hand picture doesn't look like a Tannoy. So if you aren't completely up on Tannoys, beware.

What's the knocker for?

The knocker is to wake up the little guy inside the cabinet who actually sings and produces the music heard through the speaker.

Scam will be forward to Federal Officer and he's insisting on cash. Sounds fishy to me.

These are not my speakers but I do know about them. The Tannoy drivers were mine at one time and the cabinets belonged to a friend of mine, although they were not all dressed up like they are now.
They are real tannoy`s but the cabinets are not. The guy selling them is OK, I have dealt with him before, He`s a kind, honest guy but like allot of folks tired of the scams and dishonesty that goes about when dealing with strangers.
I know he wants to move them , They do sound very, very good but I really dont have the money to buy them.
Nearly for got to mention. The tannoys in the cabs are gold underneath but for some reason were painted black, the magnets are ceramic. They were removed from a hotel in wall system wich may explain the black frames, but I really dont know.

 

[princeoftides]

I don't recognize the item on the right top of the right speaker but the item on the left looks like an Audio Research SP-3.

I'll take that.

 

[princeoftides]

He'll get way more on Ebay anyway. Those can be refoamed but looks like someone didn't put the gold back on the edge of that surround. I'd pull the old one off and get something to make them match. What's the concensus here. Leave as is or go to a cloth shop and find the right fabric to match what's on there and cut and glue?

 

[Fisherdude]

Ad now says $3,500.

Huh? When I sell something on CL, I certainly expect cash. Nothing odd about that.
