Von Schweikert Audio VR-8 best speakers out there

I  sell my bellowed VR-8. I have too many speakers waiting to be installed. 

The speakers are one of the best ever produced and will be produced. Only few lucky had a chance to listen these at home set up and all who had- never forget the experience. 

This pair was originally purchased by one of Vegas casino owner- never abused, and was taken good care of. Sonically speakers are in perfect operational condition.

If you are familiar with Von Schweikert special shrink type lacquer- You know how lacquer finish look. The grills are all good - no tears or other damage. All terminals on the back are good, all drivers are good too. I have 2 damping devise on top of each speaker that I can throw in if needed ($800 value).

The cables are not for sale.

The speakers are #235 and #236

The speakers were on top of the world for 2 years. Not many people could afford it.

Now when unjustified prices for audio is out of control- you have to pay six figures to get something close, but not better. You can pay $500,000 for Sessarro Acoustic and have bunch of drunken fiddlers at your place, or for fraction of this price have VR-8 along with London Symphony Orchestra visiting you for Christmas.
