SpeakerLink 5200s for £1775!
That is a hell of a lot of kit for very little outlay.
Anyone on hear?

Arguably about right, recent sales above £2k may have been the outliers... Especially compared to 6ks going for very little more and a whole different class of speaker.

Hi I must agree with respect to 6k speakers, but can they be serviced readily?
Regards I

Then again, on eBay, someone is trying to get £900 for their MC200 - when a new one costs £99 more.

Plus, unless you have a couple of centres, they are hardly lookers!  I think £1775 for EBA 5200s is an absolute bargain. Plus we had a SpeakerLink G68 in the trade sales with linear PSU for £999 this week, some real bargains around.

I hated the 5200s in our sitting room....... ![[Linked Image from zen104526.zen.co.uk]](http://www.zen104526.zen.co.uk/dsp5000/dsp5200.JPG) ....but loved them in the TV room.... ![[Linked Image from zen104526.zen.co.uk]](http://www.zen104526.zen.co.uk/house/oled.jpg) I went back to 5000s in there, great design imho... ![[Linked Image from zen104526.zen.co.uk]](http://www.zen104526.zen.co.uk/dsp5000/silver_5000_room.JPG) I can't believe how dated that room looks now! This is the room now, and the 5200s just didn't look right in there at all, couldn't get them to sound right either. ![[Linked Image from zen104526.zen.co.uk]](http://www.zen104526.zen.co.uk/house/lounge.jpg) I think speaker design is very room dependant, some designs simply work better in different rooms. I think my Harbeths work really well in that room, they look like a vintage design, because they are a vintage design. ![[Linked Image from i.pinimg.com]](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/fe/00/abfe000f428903283a95df662184c8ed.jpg) This was my Quads, which although similar to the DSP5200s, being roughly the same height, piano black etc. they just didn't look as good in there. ![[Linked Image from zen104526.zen.co.uk]](http://www.zen104526.zen.co.uk/quad/quadz3room.jpg)
