Selling my beloved Royal series Master Reference 3A speakers These are wonderful bookshelf speakers that are easy to drive with any amp and sound clear and natural. I am asking $999 plus shipping and 3 % paypal fee if paying that way. It is very reasonable considering what the later version Decapo are going for and these sound very similar. These are the versions made in France.
