    Quite simply the best speakers I have heard.

    Review is available here

    Price £3,500 (retail was £12k+)

    No boxes so collection from Chester only. Picture to follow (they are identical to those in the review link above)

    Out of my price range, but can I ask a potentially silly question.

    How good are they ? Are we talking staggering ?

    Erm, I have to say... yes.

    I've had some pretty good speakers in the past, albeit Flat Earth stuff not to everyone's taste e.g. Naim DBLs, SBLs and Linn Isobariks, all used both passive and active. The Calderas driven passively by a decent amp blow them away with dynamics, realism and imaging. The only reason I am selling them is to fund a another (non-hifi) project. I am looking to down-size the whole system, so my Bel Cantos amps are up for sale too.

    They are stunning Dandy... sell a kidney instead...

    If I had the room/cash/healthy back and no speaker sensitive lady in my life, I'd have them. Good luck with the project anyway.

    Good work fella. Lord knows why I still have my amps... thought they'd have been snapped up.
