For sale is an incredibly rare and exclusive loudspeaker built by Marker-Audio in Germany.
We all know the legendary B&W Nautilus loudspeakers, that are still being sold for around $70k, but only few know that there was a super exclusive series of 56 pairs offered by a German High-End company called Marker-Audio under the license of B&W. These are not some cheap knock-offs, but an homage to the groundbreaking Nautilus technology with top notch components (Mundorf Crossover, custom drivers, Van den Hul cable, WBT Signature binding posts, etc) and built by German craftsmen. To clear any potential doubts about the authenticity of those speakers I am attaching a copy of the license agreement issued by B&W in Worthing, UK.
These are outstanding high-end loudspeakers that not only sound amazing but also look spectacular. The finish is a custom grey metallic/'liquid metal' color that nicely emphasizes the organic shape.
The speakers are ready for shipping from Seattle area, Washington. They are sold as a matched pair.
Time wasters please move along, if you don't have the money, don't bid! These are fantastic speakers in immaculate condition, which I am only selling because I have to. You won't find a second pair like this. Serious buyers only.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out.
Questions for the seller |
---|
Do you have any more photos especially front on and of the binding posts? How much were they originally and how would you describe their sound quality, as in what type of music are they suited to? Thanks, Rob. Hi Rob,
Thanks for your message. I can take some pictures tomorrow during daylight and send them to you. Which Email address should I use to send them? As far as concerns the sound quality, this speaker has punchy, well-defined lows combined with neutral and uncolored midrange and incredibly clear highs. It's hard to say what music they are suited for as I believe that any well designed speaker should be able to handle various types of music, which definitely applies to this well-engineered speaker. Personally I love how clear voices and string instruments sound through them. It's something that I have very rarely experienced in other loudspeakers, even with much higher price tags. I also enjoyed the fact that this is a bass reflex concept, which allows you to "adjust" the bass response by changing the position of the speaker in the room.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Best regards,
Dom |
What amp did you use to power them? Hi,
I mostly used an Usher reference 1.5 solid state amp as well as a custom built 25W Class A tube amp, which both worked incredibly well with these speakers. Really easy to drive.
