Nice one for pointing this out avnutter, I had seen them a little while back when they were selling off a-stock, but these b-stock prices are superb 
I just ordered 1 pair of 309's in black, and another pair in maple (not both for me!!) at £149.95 per pair delivered, not bad for £700 pounds worth (originally) of speaker 
I was going to opt for the 307 centre as well, but it's even wider than my current aegis one, which is a little on the big side for my cabinet as it is  AE told me that the aegis centre would be the next best thing to match with the Aesprit 309's so hopefully I'll be OK.
Out of interest, how long did yours take to arrive avnutter? I was told within a week.

Maybe they haven't anymore, just that I'd heard they retailed for around £700, but had never seen them on sale anymore since the aelites had been out.
Four days - can't wait |

I am surprised you managed to get some in black.
I went in there 2 weeks ago to have a look at them, and they only had maple and cherry left.
Well done mate if you have.

Well when I mailed them earlier they said they had about 5 pairs of either maple or cherry. My friend wanted black so I asked about these and the guy said he had one pair left!! I phoned my order through about an hour or so later and the lady didn't say that they were out of stock. Hope they had them...... |

As I am only 5 miles down the road thought I might as well collect!! Quote: |
