Any Royd speaker fans out there?

I have been toying with the idea of finding some used Royd speakers but can't find much of anything about them. I auditioned the Minstrel SE speakers and was floored by the quality of sound coming from those teeny little boxes. I can't pay new price (kind of third system...) but until used ones come along, I would like opinions of those who know this little company and can perhaps compare the various models to each other. Thanks! Arthur

I am presently using a pair of Royd Envoy's in my analog only system. They have exceptional sound quality. I power them with an Exposure 2010 and a Rega table.

A friend of mine was a Royd dealer up til about a year ago, he still had contacts with the distributer and I was able to get his last pair.

I've noticed that alot of people who use Royd do so with Exposure equipment. I know another gentleman who has floor standing (not sure which model) Royds and they sound exceptional!

I have been using a pair of Royd Envoy's for several
years with a Jolida SJ202A integrated amp and MicroMega
Stage front end. They really are exceptional considering
their rather small size.

I know this is a 14 year old (LOL) thread, but for some reason I felt compelled to respond.
I used to hear them at the European HiFI shows throughout my travels, typically driven by Cyrus electronics. Great sound. Always wanted to own a pair but never got around it.

With the "right" gear they can sound very impressive .... heard them many times a decade ago.
(usually with NAIM electronics, but most quality-build Brit gear will not fail them....)

For me, the best bang fer yer buck; the RR1s.....
