Wanted - Hi-Fi bookshelf speakers & integrated amp

Way off any topic I know, but I'm after an decent amp & speaker set up for my kitchen and I know you DDK people tend to have all manner of random items in the loft unused. Old classic and British gets my vote on the HiFi front

I'm not looking big budget, about £150 all in tops, hopefully less.

I'd rather buy from a know source than risk ebay, but I'm also looking on there of course.

What have you got!

Just had a look through mine for you.

No spare amp but do have a mint hardly used Marantz CD-63 Special Edition with superb sound and another Philips CD player.

I'm actually looking for some cheap floorstanders if anyone has any????

Cheers for that Jason, don't need a CD player as everything is streamed via iTunes these days!

How about I sell you my Quad Electrostatics?

Got a nice Sugden A48mk2 amp going spare, too...

The only thing more British is a Union Jack!

OK then for £150 you have a deal!

Somehow I don't think this was the discrete system I was after

Currently I'm about to bid on a Music Fidelity B1 and a pair of Castle Richmonds. However I'm almost over budget and there is still plenty of time left!

Hi Gary
IMHO the B1 is a great sounding amp however, if you manage to get the B1 leave plenty of space around it for ventilation it gets hot (not as HOT as an A1 but my old Caterham's block never got as hot as an A1)!
If you know all this already sorry for wasting your time.

All the best
Ian F.

Cheers Ian, I missed the B1, it went for £105. I'm aware of the MF cooking reputation!

A friend had an A1 setup and it was supplementary heating for his lounge

I'm not much better, my Audiolab kit only gets turned off when I move house or during a power cut

The Castles are also creeping out of my price range (not surprisingly) with 6 hours still to go...

There's a Creek 4140s2 and a pair of Celestion Ditton 15s (NOS)
on eBay BIN, for £150.

Hi Suggs, got a lovely Matsui system 15w RMS, got your name on it, yours for £150, or open to offers from anyone else for a tenner

Glen says he's got a lovely Alba for you, buyer collects

Take care
Matt
