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.

Sapphire Review Added
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).
The Herald Review Added
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.
Eden Review Added
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.
RR1 Review Added
Just added a More Sorcerer Content
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.
Sorcerer Review Added
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.
A7 & Coniston Review Added
Have added a review of the A7 Series II and Coniston from Hi-Fi Review magazine, from 1987. Contains come useful insight into these older speaker models.
