These speakers are in near-mint condition, contain PHY 8" drivers with silver voice coils (considered the best wideband driver in the world by many, and still a current model), and have full factory packing in excellent condition.

These are perhaps the most musically communicative, direct loudspeakers for acoustic music money can buy. And at 96 dB/W and a flat 15-ohm load, almost any amp will power them. (To get full dynamic potential 8-10W is recommended.)

I have the grills (not shown).

Bass response can be adjusted by removing some of the rear slats.

They are shippable ground as the factory boxes are very good.

I am the second owner.

New Ocellia speakers of this pedigree are extremely similar and will cost you over $10,000.

These are an endpoint for enjoying jazz and classical music. They work well even in a large room as well.

(The 8" PHY has extremely good speed, unlike the 12" model, IMO.)

From a review (of this exact model):

"So what do they sound like? In a word: breathtaking. Your ears search in vain for acoustic references by which to analyze the sound. But all you can hear is music. Pure musicality. The timbres are so natural it’s difficult to find anything to comment on. No possible confusion between, say, a pianoforte and a modern piano. In fact, a piano specialist listening to the Celia Silvers would no doubt be able to tell you not just the make of the piano, but probably the year it was made as well. And if it was a Steinway, whether it was made in Hamburg or New York. The “grain” of the strings is such that you’d be forgiven for believing you could work out exactly how much rosin the violinist had put on his or her bow to get just that right level of vibrato. For a hi-fi critic, it was a real job to continue any kind of objective analysis and not just give in and be seduced by the Celia’s irresistible allure. I tried to put my finger on exactly what sets them apart and to account for their performance in rational, objective terms. And after many hours of listening, I think I found it: their incredible ability to reproduce micromodulations, i.e. the tiny differences in sound level, the slightest impulses, the musician’s subtlest intentions

For: Without a shadow of a doubt: a state-of-the-art speaker. You’ve only got to listen to the Celia Silvers once and you’ll want to spend the rest of your life with them, just appreciating music."
