    What amps do Royds sound best with?

    Popular brands are Exposure, Naim, NVA, Ion Systems and Onix all of which have good synergy with Royds. Note the later Revelation Range are not as sensitive as earlier models and need more grunt to get the most from them.

    Where can I buy Royd speakers today?

    Royd Audio no longer manufactures speakers since Joe Akroyd retired in 2004. As such you'll have to scout the second hand market. Try ebay, small ad sites and forums with classifieds sections. Check out the links and forums in the right hand side menu.

    The drivers on my Royd's need replacing, where can I source some?

    Firstly ensure you're not suffering from the common 'gummed up' drivers problems that affects many Minstrels (and other models), as this can easily be remedied. See here for more information.
    Wembley Loudspeakers are highly regarded loudspeaker repair and refurbishment experts, try contacting them and see what the can do with your damaged speakers. www.wembleyloudspeaker.com
    Your second option would be to look out for another pair of Royd's the same or a different model with the same drivers and transplant them. Most Royd drivers were used on many different models.
    Last resort would be to find another model of driver that has similar sounding characteristics and replace your damaged drivers with that. Possibly a different Royd driver or maybe another brand altogether.
