Tekton Lore-S (New Model!) Possible trade?

For sale is my new pair of Tekton Lore-S high efficiency (94db) speakers in cherry. These are new in the Tekton line up and are an upgrade from the Lores with much more expensive drivers. The difference between the Lore and the new Lore-S sonically, is a more refined and smooth presentation, but still with the dynamics the Lores are known for. You'd be getting a much upgraded Lore S at the Lore price. These are "stupid good" at my asking price. It's hard enough finding a good pair of monitors for this price let alone this quality in a floor stander.

The only reason for selling is because my wife doesn't feel the cherry veneer fits in with our darker furniture, so my loss is your gain.

Serious buyers only please and price is FIRM...no offers. I would prefer a money order, but will accept paypal with the additional fee of 3.5%. Please note that my speakers also come with the grill covers which was an additional $75 charge. The total cost was $1725. (This includes the up charge of $250 for the cherry veneer plus $75 for the grills.)

If interested, please contact me directly at: [email protected]. I may be interested in a trade for a floor stander in darker finish of equal or lesser value and in similar condition. A local sale in the Chicago area would be preferred, but I'll ship at the buyer's expense and for actual shipping cost.
