Quad make some nice speakers within your budget.

Where's the bloody moderation team, guys can you keep it civil! This is not a request.

Sorry I have just been having dinner, I am not sure where the other moderators are though.

Frankly, I've colosally underestimated what e-bay means to some.

To your second paragraph: I do not believe that many on this forum consider reselling value when choosing their speakers. I would not.

To your third one: I do not think speakers I was looking at - MA Silver 8 and Tannoy Rev xt 8 - "have all fundamental flaws when it comes to sound quality".

One mans fundamental flaw is anothers x-factor of perfection.

I think plenty of us do consider re-sale value when we buy. I for one (and many on here) know well enough that one day I will have an itch to scratch and will be trading up/sideways/downwards/whatever.

I've still got to sell my old kit but have never used Ebay. I will have to investigate.

It's the products you are potentially buying.

ive bought items from a variety of websites, gumtree for the CD player, what hifi forum for my amp, EBay for the atacama rack, nintronics for the speakers, and hifi corner n the Netherlands for the turntable, richer sounds for speaker cable. Not one of these websites had anything to do with the quality of the purchase. Or the goods.

I took a chance on some purchases,and my setup is all the better for it.

whats life without risk? Bloody boring.

Thank you all for you thoughts and recommendations. So it turns out I have the best in laws ever. They have just given me a pair of barely used Acoustic energy AE2s and a Miller and Kreisel mx 70 sub. I have just connected them to my Denon Poa 2400 power amp with my Pra 1200 pre amp and they sound amazing.

Blimey.

All my in-laws give me is stomach ache!

So it turns out I have the best in laws ever. I have wanted to start building a proper system for years but always packed the funds to do so but my inlaws shave very kindly just given me a system that they never used. They have just given me a pair of barely used Acoustic energy AE2s and a Miller and Kreisel mx 70b sub and to power the speakers they have also given me a Denon Poa 2400 power amp and Denon Pra 1200 pre amp aling with a Denon dsd 910 CD player and Denon Tu 550 tuner. This system might all be from the 90s but it's in mint condition and I couldn't be happier.
