Have your say & ask the experts

There's a pair up for sale on Fleabay right now.  Seller lives in Fraserburgh (which is on the North-East coast of Scotland about 60 miles North of me).

 Any info on these and what they'd be like paired to a Cyrus system would be appreciated.

Just had a quick search for them and can't find anything - linky?

Treat thm as the forerunner to the SCM40. Similar design and size, just don't expect the to maybe be asrefined as the 40's. Contacting ATC directly, they'll be able to tell you everything you want to know

 What's a fair price for these second (and by the looks of it maybe third) hand?

Hi Darren Heal

The SCM35's are still excellent speakers however ime Cyrus electronics do not work well with them.

Thanks

for that price, I would buy these Rogers studio 1 for £300 ... a bit of a drive to collect, but may be worth it

here is a writeup:

lots of other info on google ... these are quality speakers at a good price

That must win the "understatement of the week prize"!!!!!!

For what it'd cost me in petrol (1500 mile round trip / 30 mpg = 50 gallons x 5/gallon = 150 quid) and two nights in Travelodges (another 120+ quid) plus the final price of the speakers themselves I'm half-way to buying some new Spendors or something!!

you obviously are 'wet behind the ears' when it comes to buying off ebay .... if it's too much hassle to collect something that is heavy and far away, you can hire a man with a van to deliver, but just have to perhaps wait a week or 2 ... if you search ebay for courier, you will see that for £50 you can have them delivered (carefully) ... My wife sells full time on ebay ... and we sell large items (wardrobes/and antique furniture/collectables)

we bought my daughter a 1930's vintage bicycle from wales ... paid £50 to have it delivered ... total cost including delivery was £145 ... similar bike in London sells for more than £300

the ATC's are on £310 with reserve not met ... so maybe £450+? ... I still say that those rogers may be a good buy, but your call ... they are newly listed (listed an hour ago and will be 'snapped up' shortly as they are quality

Andrew Everard:

Can you both calm down, please...?

just trying to help

What about Monitor Audio RS8's?  Good clearance prices on these at the moment.....

And from the left field - how about a pair of Mission 753s?

Darren, perhaps you are going around in circles and need to calm down a bit ....

do a thorough research on suitable speakers based on your existing hifi equipment, then make a shortlist of 2 speakers, and only then start searching for a bargain ...

seems like you are trying to rush which is not always a good thing?

Trying to get this sorted before I go overseas, possibly as soom as the week after next.  Sounds stupid I know but that's the way I do things.  Twenty-odd years of life in offshore construction has left me somewhat keen to get things done ASAP, not sit around and ponder.

 Also, with so many ****ing options it's hard to come up with a shortlist in the first place!!!

so stop 'pondering' and get the rogers speakers

jokes aside, if you are going offshore, dont rush it as you cannot take your hifi with you ... do your research (properly), then buy when you get back home again ...

Not offshore, just oversea.  Was hoping for Indonesia but Holland more likely now   If it's Holland I'll be home every other weekend unless I move there permanently.  Either way (and in best three year old kid at the supermarket whose mum has just said "no!" to the cereal he wants) I want my speakers and I want them now!!!!
