I am the original owner and they are in excellent condition. I rated 8 to be conservative. I am selling due to a move to smaller house, so my two channel setup has no home. There are no known sonic problems with these speakers.

Purchased from authorized dealer 12/2011, I am the only owner.

Condition

These speakers are hard to photograph because they reflect light so easily. They have always been used in a non-smoking house using excellent amplification -- Audio Research v110 Tube, Simaudio Moon Titan, or Octave V110 (also listed for sale). They have never been over-driven.

I removed the grills for photos, but have them.

Shipping and Payment

I have the original shipping crates. Due to size, these would need to be shipped via commercial service (178 lbs., UPS is not touching this). I have the original crates.

Buyers who want to use PayPal will pay the 2.9% fee. Buyer will pay full shipping costs and insurance for the purchase price. I will pack carefully.

I am a longtime Audiogoner with excellent feedback, although I am not a dealer, so I do not do a lot of volume. I have represented and photographed the speakers to the best of my ability, but these are as is / used speakers. If you have questions, call/text me at 303-522-7983, or email me at [email protected]. There are no sonic imperfections that I can hear.
