Default Kelly KT3 High Sensitivity Floor Standing Speakers

Do you need a set of high sensitivity floorstanders to partner with your relatively low powered valve amplifier?

I have for sale my Kelly KT3's in truly outstanding condition. These have been in their boxes, dry stored for the last 15 years until I put them into use a month ago. Prior to that (I bought them from a friend), they had had no more than a few 10s of hours use.

For those who don't know them, these are very sensitive (95dB @ 1m @ 2.83V< 0.5%) and so partner very well with valve amplification. This pair is in near immaculate condition and I use that term carefully. There are one or two tiny dings that can be found in this online album (https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjB8yBS) (only 4 images allowed here), otherwise everything else is absolutely undamaged.

The published specs are as follows:

System type: Two way, dual reflex
Drive units: 25mm soft dome tweeter, Two 170mm bass units
Sensitivity: 95dB @ 1m @ 2.83V< 0.5%
Nearfield frequency response: 60Hz - 20kHz (-6dB)
In room frequency response: 30Hz - 20kHz (-6dB
Nominal impedance: 6 Ohms
Cabinet construction: Self-damping 18mm M.D.F. with three anti-resonance cabinet braces; lined on all internal surfaces with open cell acoustic foam and filled with acoustic wadding
Dimensions (w x h x d): 230 x 890 x 330 mm

There is not a great deal of information on the web for these, but an old Australian advert for a pair has some background here:

The speakers will be sold in their original boxes and with the original instruction manual.

These are an absolute bargain at £150. Pickup from near Chepstow, or meet in Bristol.
