Just added an interested review of the Royd Apex and Rega Ela (version 1) from Hi-Fi Review, Nov 1989. The first versions of the Rega Ela shared a good deal of design with the Royd Apex. It includes some elusive information on actively bi-amping the Royd Apex, using the Naim NAXO 2-4 active crossover.

I’ve updated the Coniston page with details of the different versions that existed, Series I, Series II and R. All were subtle different and are testament to Joe striving for perfection. I still have little info the first release of these, so if anyone has anything, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Just uploaded a review of the Sapphire’s, from Hi-Fi World, June 1992. This is from a round of up various speakers at the £200 price point and refers to the first version of this speaker (I presume as it mentions them being just single wired).

Added a review of The Herald, from What Hi-Fi? April 1997. Just a short review, but does shed some light on this less common model.

You can now find a review of the Royd Edens’ from Hi-Fi News, Nov 1989. Perhaps not the most flattering, but a worthy read nonetheless. Plenty of useful stats and measurement graphs.

You can now find another review of the Royd Sorcerers, from What Hi-Fi? July 1998. It features the Sorcerers in a group test of eight other competing speakers of the day.
I’d like to thank Doug Maskew for sending in a scan of the promotional booklet that came with his brand new Sorcerers from 15 years ago.

I’ve added a review of the Royd Sorcerers, from Hi-Fi Choice magazine from Feb 1995. Gives a positive account of these near field monitors that featured high up the Royd range.
