AUDIOPHILES with deep pockets should investigate the pair of pre-owned, Wilson Grand Slamm Series 5 loudspeakers on offer at Cloney Audio (01-288 9449/8477). Standing 6ft tall these silver finish speakers are not for shrinking violets.

They are loud with a capital L, so you might want to consider investing in a detached property to go with them. Their condition is as new, says Noel Cloney. They would have a list price of €95,000 if new. Theyre priced at €35,000.

At the more affordable end of the market is an ex-display Cyrus CD8X CD player which comes with box and full warranty. Its list price is €1,100 and it’s selling for €599, a discount of 45 per cent.

And if you’re in the market for home entertainment it’s worth noting that their UK-sourced brands, Arcam, Bowers Wilkins and Cyrus, are all priced at or below the UK’s sterling price.
