eBay stuff (Part 2)

£413 :flushed::flushed::flushed::flushed:

That is stupidly cheap.

It gives me a Big Sad, because the whole Direkt range was a brave and effective bit of speaker design - conceptually - but a bit too brave on the design front, and massively let-down by inconsistent pricing from the manufacturer…

Was so close to bidding but 5 pairs of speakers would be silly
4 pairs is my limit,and I won’t be swayed

So cheap I almost bought them and collection would have been relatively easy for me.

No cable and a few marks

Neat g30

Should add the cable if the same as mine takes a 3 pin din type fitting,and not a standard one.

That arm tube looks like it’s been used to re hoof horses…

This ad seems sketchy - Meadowlark Shearwater Hotrod Audiophile loudspeakers | eBay

Dozens of pages from a review but no pictures of the actual speakers, overpriced for an unknown brand that went out of business years ago, and the seller has very little recent feedback…

Incompetent, stupid and lazy - or a scam?

Looks lazy to me. Has collect in person and isn’t located in rural Scotland.

Pair of 2 ways

I’m sure they were up for sale once before. Pics look familiar

Think I sold my Einklangs to him.

Funny that you say that as I thought I recognised the room

Seems a very fair price, albeit they were £2,500 new, and I don’t think they ever hit £3k.

Heco were absolute bloody fools to market the Direkt range so confusingly, and then just bin it instead of developing into something with wider appeal…

Always thought they deserved special veneers to the face, reminiscent of DeVore.

Hadn’t realised that they had discontinued the whole Direkt range but looks wise they are a bit Marmite.

Very 50s American diner styling

That would be very nice, but it’d take one hell of a veneerer (?sp) to deal with the different intersecting radiuses. DeVore had the good sense to make a simple foursquare box!

I still have a hankering for

But I’m told me and the speakers would become homelessness statistics overnight…


The 2-ways hung-on for an extra couple of years, but now their top model is a properly-ugly standmount, presumably with low sensitivity &c… “Belladonna” :laughing:

May sound good I guess - 8" mid-bass + 30mm tweeter isn’t an obvious combo at first glance…
