Selling my beloved Isobarik Domestic Monitor System. These are legendary speakers but I guess you already know this. In fact, they are so noteworthy, they have their own wikipedia entry. Be sure to check it out for history and background. Back when they were introduced, they were ridiculously expensive and forward thinking design. They didn't produce many of these mostly because of the price, but they have a loyal and dedicated following. There are tons of modification and tweaks out there but these babies are all original.. except for the foam grills that tend to disintegrate. Naim even has a specific outboard active crossover in case youd like to use several amplifiers for these. I like to use them with a simple setup, either a 100W stereo solid state amplifier or dual mono tube amps. Both yield great results.

This specific model is in outstanding condition. I have installed new 3M branded Velcro tape in place of the cracking old tape. The black veneer is in great shape on all 5 sides although there is a bit of cracking near the bottom which has been repaired and stabilized so it wont go any further and is not visible at anything except close inspection. All drivers are in great shape including the rubber surrounds on all the mids and woofers. The tweeters don't have any noticeable dimples or cracks. The stands are fine also, with slight scuff here and there but nothing significant. Considering the age, they are in wonderful shape and look very smart.

The rear of the speaker features a desirable factory XLR pro audio speaker connector and I'm including the matching cables which are about 20' long and I believe are made by Naim (or at least look like it).

I havent seen many of these around. In fact, over the past few months I've only seen one other pair, so they are sure to become a collectors item as there are fewer of these available each year.

I wont go much further into the design and sound quality as there are so many forums and reviews out there.

If you'd like to have a listen, you are welcome to make an appointment in norther NJ in my private listening room. I have lots of options for electronics to make your preferred system for your session. For now, Im gonna list them as local pickup only but I guess if there is someone really really interested I can figure out how to put these on a pallet and ship them. Drop me a note if this is the case.

If you purchase them, I can bring them into the city as we have a showroom in Union Square with easy parking.

WHO WE ARE 


Skyfi.nyc is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning and reselling of select high end audio equipment.  We only buy equipment the we admire and are passionate about.  No mid-fi, no gimmicks and no junk.  



Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the Hifi world.  If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold.  We are select about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American and European built units.



Through our sister company, which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Project and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts and service support.  If you are local and are looking for any new equipment for the above mentioned manufacturers, please drop us a line as we can arrange both sales and professional installation in the tri-state area




PURCHASING GUIDELINES


If you would like to make an offer, please don't email or message us unless you are looking to trade something in.  



If we are accepting offers, you will see a button on the listing page to do so.  Please use it, as it is very hard to track offers through email or messaging.  This way, we are all also better protected.   



PAYMENTS


We prefer working through PayPal, which allows you to use a credit card or bank transfer.  We do not charge extra for any payment fees.  You can also send us a personal check (which will need to clear before shipping), certified check, money order or wire transfer.  International clients without access to PayPal should use a bank wire transfer. 



TRADE IN POLICY 


We accept trade-ins of equal or lesser value under certain conditions.  Simply ask and let us know the exact model, condition and what accessories are included such as a box, remote, manual, etc.  We will only consider high-end equipment from mainstream manufacturers such as McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Krell, etc. and will typically pass on displays, projectors, receivers, dated processors and mid-fi equipment of any type.  We will offer a fair value for your equipment, but keep in mind we are running a business and will need to be able to sell the equipment at a profit after investing a great deal of time and resources in testing, certifying, repairing, cleaning and packaging the incoming equipment.  If you are looking for top dollar we suggest attempting to sell it directly to an end user.  



SELL US YOUR GEAR (Working or Broken)


We will also purchase your used or broken gear and arrange pickup if you are in our local market.  Just drop us a note for a quote, but be sure to include the condition and what is included.  



HOW TO VISIT US


We are currently operating from a residence in Ridgewood, NJ.  You are welcome to make an appointment if there is a piece of equipment you would like to see in operation before or after purchase.  We have a well-equipped, dedicated listening room with tons of equipment of all makes and models.  We are not a store, so please don’t make an appointment if you are just curious as to how a speaker or piece of equipment sounds.  In essence, no tire kickers please.  



If you are in NYC and cannot make it out to Ridgewood, we can arrange pickup in Union Square (14th Street) after the purchase.   You can call or text  (646) 852-2073 with any questions or to schedule an appointment.  We can also arrange to install, calibrate and tune the gear in your listening room if you are in the local area.  This is super useful when purchasing large speakers or heavy amplifiers.  It is also great for ensuring your new turntable is setup correctly in its final resting place.  



Thanks for looking and please send us your email address if you would like to receive a list of the equipment we receive from time to time.  We promise not to bombard you with junk email.
