    My beloved Arcs are up for grabs, I bought them X-Dem a couple of months ago and they were not even burned. They are truly outstanding speakers with fast articulate bass that belies their dimensions. They particularly like Naim amps but also sound great with valve amps - even lowish powered ones. The finish is Regal Silver, as shown in the stock images below, and they come fully boxed and in near mint condition. £1750 will save them from a Part-Exchange.

    Regards,

    I'd be willing to consider a part-X deal on a nice turntable or CD player.

    Yes and no. If using a SS amp then yes, but they can sound utterly beguiling with a decent valve amp too.

    we (all 6 of us, several known suspects) really liked the Arcs - they were impressive in so many way: seemed to need little fuss in positioning, big sound stage and didn't result in fights for the sweet spot.

    they were certainly beguiling with the Graaf but that amp failed to get the separation that was also required. (The Krell did! but so we suspect would the Bel Canto have done, and yes, any SS/Valve amp with ability to take charge.)
