Aerial Acoustics Model 9 with Sound Anchor Stands

Excellent operational condition including upgrades - Bybee Slipstream Quantum Purifiers
internally installed on positive leg of tweeters, Cardas rhodium binding posts,
and dedicated (i.e., made specifically for these speakers) Sound Anchor Stands
(cradle base style) that are far more stable and superior to the factory
outriggers.  

The cherry veneer is in outstanding condition but there are a few minor marks on the
finish of the cabinets that are what most would call small and that do
not stand out under general observation but are visible on inspection.  As you can see in the pictures, these are nice looking speakers. Grill cloth and grill frames are in great shape.   

The speakers sound
excellent with all types of music.  They accurately and musically
portrayed every upstream change I made to my system and they were always used
with high quality amplification by Clayton, Lamm, Ncore, and McCormack. The Model 9 is an upgrade over the 10T by way of newer/better drivers, better design, and better sound.

I am only selling
these because I have switched to different Aerial speakers.  Two reviews
are linked below;

• http://studyres.com/doc/7741708/the-cutting-edge


• https://hometheaterreview.com/aerial-acoustics-model-9-loudspeaker-reviewed/

There are other forum
reviews out there and all are positive.

Regarding the sale;

• Speakers will be
  shipped/delivered with original wood-reinforced boxes.


• The speakers are large and heavy and to ship will include THREE  BOXES, one for each speaker and one (maybe two) for the dedicated Sound Anchor Stands.
• I would prefer these to be
  "hand-delivered" to avoid problems.  


• If the buyer can be patient
  with my schedule, it will be possible for me to hand-deliver these to
  locations such as Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, and lower Michigan
  including the Detroit metro area, west Michigan, South Chicago and most places
  in-between these locations. 
• I will ship these but ONLY if
  they are strapped to a pallet and shipped by freight, such as FedEx
  Freight or similar.  


• BUYER pays ALL shipping charges
  and MUST use the freight method presented above.  I WILL NOT ship
  these by standard Fed Ex or UPS and they are likely too heavy to ship any other way than by freight.


• I am communicating these terms because avoiding shipping
  damage is in the best interest of the buyer and is more important to me than selling
  the speakers. If you
  don't like these terms, don't argue, please just move on.


• I will only sell to Audiogon
  member buyers with good feedback and no negatives, and I will not sell to
  proxies for overseas buyers or first-time buyers.


• PayPal is the only payment
  method and I WILL COVER THE FEE.


• Eden Sound Bear Paw footers shown in some of the pictures are NOT included but could be purchased.
• Somebody is going to get a
  really great sounding pair of speakers that look nice too for a fantastic
  price!
