I got the NAD Speakers and they sound absolutely Fantastic. Yes they are VERY Rare indeed. Turns out they were Part of a NAD Trade Show in the 80's, and I was Told there were Only 50 Pairs made in the World. I had to drive to a different State in Australia to Pick them up, because I could NOT find anything on them as well..... They were amazed I drove 250 Klms each way, they gave the Speakers to me for FREE. I have the Only Pair in Australia. The 5" Steel Frame Tweeters have Outside Wires leading to the 1" Soft Dome. 8 x exposed Screws on each Tweeter. The Tweeters look like something you would see on Vintage AR or Acoustic Research Speakers from the 70's. The Boxes are similar to my B&W DM-220 Speakers. 8" Shinny Treated paper Cone Woofers with Rubber Surrounds. They are 2 Way and rated at 100 Watts RMS. The large 4" NAD Logo is Painted in White with 4 White Strips across the front of the Speaker 1/3 up from the Base. And there is a small White NAD Badge at the bass of the Speaker as well with black Grills. They look like the NAD Model 20 Speakers with Different Drivers.

Thanks for the follow up. Being told they were part of a trade show straigh away says they must be pretty good and just 50 pairs made to boot makes these super rare I would have thought, you have done really well getting hold of these. The bonus here is that they sound fantastic to which sometimes is not the case with even rare speakers. Well worth the drive. Nice having the rubber surrounds as well, a lot of old speakers would by now would need refoaming. Great Find

hi used to use RS drivers and get the tall long PA case's from RS the full range ones like they use in the tv 4.0 you could get 5 drivers in side one case a school i was at they had some they did away with them and got in a DJ set they could wheel around as the costs they could hire out the DJ set with the fixed audio get they could not them PA tube gear went up to 175 watt amps GEC some had a cart player in the rack i loop tape for tele hold music my dad worked in a gov place they pulled all the racks out in the late 80's

I have never heard of SOLARVOX but I bet these sound pretty good.

[@MichaelYates]

Well I'le have a good listen and do a review soonish, but what I will say at the moment is they sound better than ones I found here on YT from 11 years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGO0m4qurK2LgpY . Think something was amiss with those ones.

my go to budget speaker with great natural sound is the Yamaha ns777 ns555 ns333. my favorite budget Klipsch speaker at the moment is the r28f as it is a lot less bright than the previous synergy f30 and f3. I still like the older synergy f1 towers though because they are bright but nowhere near as bright as the f3 which that speaker is way over the top. and for loud 2 channel music listening the kef q900 do a great job Aswell.

As far as I know Solarvox were rebranded Wharfedales, Leak, Amstrad, Goodmans, Denton amoung a few. Some with cheap drivers. But these here look a decent pair of speakers. I think these you have here have Seas Alnico 8 inch Drivers. Nice Find

[@MichaelYates]

Doing a little more digging, yes seems they are Alnico drivers

Hello... Tomorrow I am buying a beautiful Pair of "NAD Model 240" 2 Way Floor Standing Speakers for $80. I have NOT been able to find any Information or Photos on these large Speakers. NAD Logo is Painted in large White Letters with 4 White Stripes at the bottom of each Speaker.. Have you seen these before???

[@MichaelYates]

Hi, no I have never seen these speakers, seem a pretty rare pair of speakers looking on the net. Be interesting to hear what you think of them

[@iainjohnston4929]

Comet did a Solavox brand which I had in the 80s - is this different or a typo?

[@MichaelYates]

A little more digging and seems that Solarvox was the name before Comet started to sell them and then they dropped the "R" and called them Solavox

my cat can't tell me what to do i been there with lady's lady try it they get the boot they been there MANDY

[@icanseeall-inthisreality]

I just watched your video of the donna speaker crossover upgrade, and the sound came through my home theatre system nicely, the music you used sounded good Aswell. I hope you can do a review of these new speakers you bought and show us what they sound like. I like the design of these they look unusual how the woofers lean diagonally to one way and the tweeters lean diagonally in the opposite direction.

Thanks for you comment, Will get a review up soon
