just thought i'd throw this out there for those so inclined. as i'm no longer living in the dublin area-to say the least-i'm out of the running to get them...

oh, did i mention they only want 400 quid?

There's a pair in Cloneys as well, €595 I think. One owner from new.

two sets at the same time...for a normal price? is there something we don't know? do they implode if played with valve gear or make one want to listen to barry manilow records?

i smell a conspiracy! that, or fried panels...

Could you stack 63s? I remember seeing a photo of some guys setup where he had 63s (or maybe 989s) suspended in mid air. Lots of them.

as far as i know, you can't stack then ala' the 57's because they're a point source instead of a line souce.

ivor, now what are you thinking....? are you getting some crazy idea of buying both sets and marrying them somehow? or rather, throwing them at fran and letting him figure out how to do it?

That occurred to me alright. But in fairness to Cloney they don't tend to put such a margin (if any) on stuff they sell on behalf of customers. The pair in the shop are brown, I saw them there on Thursday.

Well that was a short lived dream. The idea was completely shot down.
