These are very nice speakers and sound great, I have owned them for the past six years. Price is €2000 to include delivery. The file size of all photos are too large? so see hifiwigwam for pics, open to offers, thank you.

I still have these, if anyone wants pics let me know and I'll get them off to you. I got new stone plinths made up for them which are far superior as one of the originals cracked, I'll include the original stands with the sale, the cracked one can be repaired but the three cracks will still be visible after, cheers.

Price drop to €1750, these don't come up very often, the last pair I know of on Ebay back in the summer went for €1950 plus carriage and they had the not as nice stone/ metal stands. These were sold a couple of weeks ago for €1850 but when I was boxing up a small crack turned into a big one on one of the plinths so I got new ones made up, the old ones will also be included in the sale, free delivery. See Hifiwigwam classifieds for fresh pictures, first to see and hear will buy, thank you.

I really don't know about these hifi websites, Piotr sold his Cremonas on Done Deal, I put an ad on there a few hours ago and it looks like I have sold mine too.

I sold all my Cyrus kit on adverts just a bigger audience on mainstream sites. This is a small site with probably 100 max active participants. They can't buy every piece advertised. Main UK sites have much bigger traffic but I have found they are very reluctant to buy stuff from the outer islands

Eight posts on the forum, all in the Classifieds section. You might like to look at the top of the page, guidelines a) and b) in particular, before you start complaining too loudly...

Best of luck with the sale in any case. I always fancied a pair of the original Electa Amators, but my budget is virtually zero these days.

I'm not complaining, just saying I'm surprised to have gotten a few enquiries from Done Deal in the space of a few hours and no reply here in a month, if I was looking for hifi I would never even have considered it or the likes before. I know pics can be uploaded here cos I've seen them but it's not easy with the file size allocated, I gave up trying with a Thinkpad and an Ipad Mini, cheers.

When it comes to the pictures, I find it easier to upload them to a separate site like photobucket and then link them directly from there using the img tags. I know on android I can use the photobucket app to do this, I assume there are similar options in the iOS world but I don't know them myself. Maybe I'll have a look when I get home and write a little tutorial, because I know this is an issue that causes confusion.

I'll be honest, I'm also surprised at the reaction from donedeal (maybe not so much from the lack of reaction here, but that can just be the luck of the draw). I wonder who's scouring donedeal looking for high-end hifi purchases??
