Eggleston Works Fontaine Pair with Matching Stands

Excellent complete pair of Fontaine speakers with matching factory stands.

The first speaker has no issues and is near perfect.  The second speaker was dropped from about 2' high when taking it out of it's box when moving and the black gloss panels have some cracks (see pics).  They are purely cosmetic and do not affect the sound at all, and if you want, could probably be repaired easily.  The cracks are surface deep only and there is no damage to the underlying mdf wood.  The italian black granite sides are perfect.  No issues with the audio performance at all.  The grills are magnetic and no tears or rips or fading.    The removable (magnetic) tweeter guards are perfect. 
The stands are brand new and taken out of the box only to take these pics.  They are perfect.  The bases are sand-fallible and will form a very substantial enclosure.   
Italian black granite sides on the speaker bodies, looks amazing in your room and provides an extra level of stiffness and bass response.  Front, top, rear of speaker and entire stand is a high gloss black finish.  Removable speaker grill is magnetic and the "cloth" is more of a nylon cover...Eggleston's speaker covers have been described as the most transparent ever made.

"the design of each loudspeaker model in the EgglestonWorks line begins with the midrange." For the Fontaines, a pair of 6" polypropylene, double magnet drivers handle the midrange and bass. Each of these drivers has a 3" diameter voice coil. It has been said many times before but it bears repeating, as it is so true; if the midrange is not correct, than all else is fruitless. The tweeter has a large aperiodic damping chamber that imitates infinite baffle loading. The tweeter is hard wired to the crossover with one cap and two resistors used as an L-pad.

The bass and mid-bass drivers are housed in what EgglestonWorks describes as a quasi transmission-line loaded enclosure. This is accomplished by employing a specialized acoustic stuffing material known as "acousta stuff." This is a polyester strand that is crimped every millimeter. This makes every strand a complex shape, capable of providing greater diffraction to the sound waves traveling through it. The cabinet is constructed of 5/8" thick MDF wood panels, twice laminated with an imported damping material. To further damp the enclosures, the outside panels have one-centimeter thick, Italian granite slabs bonded to them. The end result of these efforts is a very inert enclosure that provides much better bass response than the small size of the drivers would indicate.
