Used by U2 at Glastonbury ha ha that's more shit that's coming out of my arse right now


Not quite an accurate quote :)

States "U2 and also used at Glastonbury several times...."  note the 'also'.

Look like Eastmill (poss) stage fills to me; possibly with crossovers or maybe active.  If they are Eastmill and have the original drivers they'd be ATC's and the boxes will be well worth the money, see that they've already got their first bid.
It's a difficult choice, would you rather have:

they look like the tripple 12" martin speakers, if they are they sound really quite good above subs! fuzzy_logic had some years ago.

might well have been used at glasto or U2 if so [in the 70's!]

Pretty sure that you'd know better than me and I stand corrected Cry

Eastmill or Martin, they're still boxes worth having if the drivers are still original.

They are original Martin Audio H350 cabinets indeed and should contain three ATC 12" and an Emilar EC175 driver on the HF2 horn--we had two pairs of these in the seventies and they were great as sidefills, but very unstable and used to topple over on a regular basis.
They are nice sounding cabinets and most of them were built by Mega.

Yes, H350's.

Most of them were originally fitted with RCF L12P24's, but I think they were ATC in the final production runs.

Popular as a small PA, disco/nightclub box, or sidefills on a monitor rig.

well i just got an email for some reason, saying he's reduced the price to £700.

Yeah, we had the tilt and roll two castor versions so they had a very slim footprint hence why they were so unstable--We complained many times about this so eventually they caved in and made the square bottom version with four wheels which was a little better but would still topple unless it was backed up by some hefty amp racks(we had plenty of them in those days)
IIRC we had the RCF L12/24 versions--one of my favourite drivers of all time--you really need to hear a wedge monitor with two of them inside bi-amped with a JBL 2446 on Mid/HF on a short horn.
