Gamut L3 Speakers

Post by tony »

A pair of these on gumtree asking €2200. They look gorgeous and reveiws are glowing(PS Fergus I know its the ears that count)
Cant even look at them but they may interest somebody. Anyone experience on them. I keep end looking at what seem like lean speakers. Are these more suitable for classical then rock? There is also a pair of ruark solistce which look very impressive but probably need an aircraft hanger

There was a pair of marten standmounts on adverts a little while back too. I suppose just be careful buying off those sites that its not a scam. I've bought lots on adverts and its worked out but still you'd want to be wary.

God I just had a look - if its genuine (and it does look ok) there's fantastic stuff up there. Did you see the platine verdier tt?

hi tony. those gamuts that you see in that add were mine. my speakers in my living room that i sold on ebay for €3500 last july.(my full add inc.text) somebody trying to con someone out of €2200. very easy to get caught so be careful. if it seems to good to be true, then it probaly is. on the L3's they wouldn't be a type of classical music speaker in my opinion. great with everything. i had owned a pair of b&w 803d's and i considered the L3's a step-up they were fantastic, better than the 803d in almost every way. regards paul.

Wow. Fran was right on the ball re scam. Love to know how that scam works as I would assume most buyers thru gumtree would want to view/hear. Touch wood up to now I havent had any issues buying on the net.

Fran's drinkies! question could apply here also. I would totally agree with your sentiments but to be fair to them the market is probably so small here that you couldnt viably stock a broad selection of speakers. Uk 60m punters we have got 4m. Uk I would think is a weathier and more mature market. Majority of irish will buy in peats or powercity(nothing wrong with that but leaves relatively small number of punters for a cloneys). Have to say I have kinda followed your route also.
