I bought these excellent speakers to use for a short time while waiting for my Focal Sopra 2 Loudspeakers.

Please email for shipping quote. The way the Audiogon system works is not real accurate. 

Also, if you don’t need or want stands I can provide a better price. Thanks 

Also, if interested. I will sell you my mint same as new (2) Pair of JL Audio e-sub e112 Subwoofers. 



These are perfect. These actually have the REL type speakerOn hookups that many JL subs don’t have. They let you hook subs direct to speaker cables to make blending with speakers super easy. I will sell for $1000 per sub. They don’t have OEM boxes but local UPS Store will bubble wrap them safe and good and box them for $40 per sub which isn’t too bad plus actual shipping fees. This super low price for subs is only for the buyer of these speakers. Separate purchase possible but not at this price for subs. They are such a perfect pairing I thought to offer with thes speakers. 

My Sopra’s are here so I am posting these speakers. Trust me these will utterly impress you! They surely did for me! They Image so incredibly and are more transparent then my Sopra’s but I’ve got a huge room with high Cathedral ceilings or I would have kept these regardless of price. They are that good!  


Man am I impressed with these speakers. I just wanted something to use for a bit as I just sold my Magico S5 MKII speakers. I was in between and searching for another reference pair. I wanted to try these because all I heard about them and they are Stereophile Class A Recommended. They we’re right about these! They are awesome! So unreal transparent and such a precise and tight image that both my Magico’s and now my Focal’s can’t quite do. 


These sound way better than I thought they would and really way better than they should for this kind of money. 

"The SB-C700 doesn't add any false fullness or romance – that's not this speaker's job; it sounds like a recording studio monitor. There's bass aplenty with no flab or sloppiness down to 50 Hertz in my room – that's extraordinarily deep for a speaker this size. It's not just powerful; bass definition surpasses any small speaker I've had at home."

– Steve Guttenberg, CNET

"Technics' new Premium Class SB-C700 is not only accurate, transparent, and neutral, it's an excellent value. Highly recommended."

– Herb Reichert, Stereophile

Linear-Phase Point-Sound-Source Concept and Monocoque Cabinet Anchor Technics SB-C700 Bookshelf Loudspeaker System: Plays with Stellar Accuracy, Clarity, and Neutrality

Revealing transparency, surgically precise imaging, ultra-wide reproduction (up to 100kHz), wondrous definition, coherency across the full frequency range without directional irregularities, and a cutting-edge cabinet: Meet the Technics SB-C700 bookshelf loudspeaker system. A Stereophile Recommended Component, the 13.21875 x 8.6875 x 11.25-inch (HWD) two-way bass-reflex model employs a linear-phase point-sound-source concept that leads to exceptional soundstage focus, ambience, and presence. As with any exceptional audio device, the devil is in the details.

For the record these are better then all those other semi-budget speakers that people say are amazing such as Elac made by Andrew Jones.  

I tried a bunch of the budget speakers a short ways back for a bedroom set up. This is a legit HiFi speaker. I have these matched with $60,000 worth of electronics and cabling and they sound fantastic.   

Take advantage because this type of imagining and transparent sound for this price is rare indeed!       
   
For the record I also tried KEF LS50 and these are so much better. They have surprising bass but the utter transparency and imaging is in a total other league. 


I’ve tried Harbeth and ATI bookshelves as well that are solid in their own right but these are better. 
I used these with some excellent Integrated amps: Soulution 530 and the Ypsilon Pantheon as well as a Manley Stingray and they sounded great with all of them.    


My Focal Sopra 2 are $18,990 Speakers and these are around $2,000 with stands so of course the Focal’s are better but the price difference is pretty insane when you hear how great these sound. Pair these speakers with a decent source and electronics and they are very impressive. Add a sub or two and you have a bang for buck set that comes closer to my Focal’s then should be possible.


I have these hooked up right now and listening to them with my Bricasti M1SE DAC, Soulution 530 Integrated, bespoke Roon Media Server and Stage III Concepts and Echole cables and they sound fantastic. 


The stands included but stands need to be boxed at UPS store for shipping and they charge $40 per stand to wrap and box. Speakers come with all packaging and everything same as new.

Point-Sound-Source Speaker System

Technics’ newly developed flat coaxial two-way speaker unit combines a tweeter for high frequencies and a woofer for mid-range and bass. Because the tweeter is at the center of the woofer, the speaker acts as a point sound source, providing a coherent, integrated sound across the frequency range, without directional anomalies. As a result, the Technics Speaker System deliver a live superb soundstage focus, excellent imaging and the ambience required to deliver the ‘live music’ experience.

Phase Precision Driver (Flat Coaxial 2-Way Speaker Unit)

The flat coaxial two-way speaker drive unit is an original Technics development, designed for the faithful reproduction of mid-range and high-frequency sound. The flat woofer diaphragm has a sandwich-structure using lightweight, high-rigidity carbon fibre skins and a honeycomb core, and is designed for a highly accurate pistonic motion over a frequency range extending beyond the crossover frequency with the tweeter, thus ensuring smooth integration. 
The flat design eliminates the frequency anomalies due to the cavity effect caused by conventional cone diaphragms, while the magnetic circuit employs a large magnet, copper cap and shorting ring, and a short voice coil with concentrated edgewise winding for high power with low distortion. The drive unit chassis is in highly rigid die-cast aluminium, with the chassis ‘legs’ having a resonance dispersing structure to eliminate even the smallest unwanted vibration, to help the drive unit deliver accurate and powerful bass. 

High Rigidity Entasis Form Cabinet

The SB-C700 cabinet is designed to support the Point Source drive units securely, preventing unwanted resonance and ensuring a smooth flow of sound without diffraction or reflection. The front baffle is designed for maximum stiffness and resonance-damping, while the side panels are convex high-rigidity boards with a maximum 42-mm thickness, designed to damp down resonance while also preventing internal reflections.
The monocoque cabinet offers high rigidity, as each side of the cubic structure reinforces the adjacent panels. This reduces unwanted resonance by controlling the movement of the individual panels, as well as that of the structure as a whole, while internal acoustic absorbent material was selected, and its position optimized, to suit both a drive unit and the cabinet volume, thus suppressing undesired standing waves.
The bass reflex port on the rear panel is of a ‘parabola’ design, its curvature continuously varying from the inlet to the outlet to suppress turbulence at the exit as well flow-noise within the port, thus delivering smooth and powerful bass sound with minimum noise.
The glossy cabinet is created by repeated coating, sanding, polishing and finishing with a high degree of craftsmanship. This creates a cabinit not just attractive to look at, but also able to suppress fine vibrations generated at the enclosure surface, thus contributing to the accuracy of its sound.

High-quality Network Circuit

The High-quality Network Circuit was created as a result of extensive designing and listening, in order to maximize the performance of each speaker unit and achieve a balanced sound. To prevent interference between the drive units and minimize the effect of vibration, separate network boards for woofer and tweeter are optimally arranged inside the cabinet.

Ultra Wide Range Reproduction

The Technics Speaker System is capable of reproducing sound over the ultra-wide frequency range of up to 100 kHz to deliver the vast frequency spectrum offered by high-quality, high-resolution music sources. The result is a faithful reproduction of audio signals with all nuances intact.

Please note - the stands are included in this sale but I don’t have the OEM boxes for just the stands so I will need to bring to UPS store and they charge $40 per stand to box and bubble wrap all up safe and nice plus of course the shipping cost but I will include the stands. They don’t have spikes but you can add those for cheap. 

Email me with questions we can set up a ship date. These are super speakers for the money.
