Heads-up folks - cheap (?) pair of Meadowlark Blue Herons on Ebay...

Click me for a Buy It Now pair of Blue Herons at £1800, collection only from Southampton. Should make someone on here happy I'd have thought

 

Seems a bit expensive, I bought my pair (Now Graham N's) for the princely sum of £1k, and they were the Blue Heron i's as well

 

Thanks for the heads up Pete, but I think I'll resist at that price. For a grand they seem to be a half reasonable speaker.

 

Mr M
you continual digs at these good speakers will cause you and me to have words!

 

Indeed he will Mr P. If he's not careful we'll set Isaac on him.

 

OK, fair enough, not so much of a bargain as I thought then. I don't think I've ever seen Herons for sale before, so I wasn't quite sure what they tended to go for - but wasn't the list price £6k+ or something originally? And I thought I'd seen the Hifiguy selling Kestrels at the thick end of a grand...

 

W-M's really losing it now. The speakers he had for less than a week, and I have had for the last 20 months are the Blues Herons' slightly smaller brother the Heron-i. The Blue Herons were not far short of twice the price new, are slightly larger, have a different (gas-piezzo) tweeter and probably upgraded other drivers too. There never was such a thing as the Blue Heron-i.

(And re the Lampros thread - when or why did you ever own the 200s? When we saw them at JJ's is was a competition as to who could fall asleep first.)

 

I've never had a dig at any good speakers Mr P

 

just couldnt leave it alone could you!

 

Graham,
you could be right, I lost plot a long time ago, must be all this classical music I'm forced to endure these days , the 200's were exchanges a few months back, and age doesn't seem to any thing for them either, to be fair the splendors won the snooze race on that day! , they could bore the bollox off a charging rhino at 60 paces

 

May need to get outa the way as this would make it even more angry, thus charging harder.


Merlin, are you gonna answer my PM?

 

Au contraire Mr P. I was perfectly happy to leave them well alone

 

nice turn of phrase.

 

GRRRRrrrrrrrrr

 

Well, he's dropped them to £1600 - at this rate I might buy them myself if the price keeps going down

 

Interesting that Pete, I mailed him twice but no answer, They'd do for work

 

That's odd - "local pickup only" usually means a genuine seller (it's obviously hard to rip someone off if they're paying COD), but not replying to emails is a very bad sign on Ebay...

 

offer him 1300. there's a pair of matrix 801 s2's going for this price on hifi for sale which are classics.
cheers

hey he's only a hop away from me. if i had the money .... (and a bigger room)

but check out the ebay feedback - he has a 36 rating, but none of these from buyers - he's never sold anything before.

 

Exactly my thoughts!
