Magnepan MG-1.6qr 1.6qr Magneplanar pair (cherrywood)

These superior condition Magneplanar 1.6qr speakers are now for sale; they were purchased in 2006 and have been used less than 1000 hours. Never used for full time play, mostly as studio back up monitors for record grading.

The appearance level of these is very strong. The Cherrywood accent is unmarred, and there is no visual wear to the fabric. Always under a/c. (No socks)   
A 5.5 ft Discovery Essential bi wire pair, with spade lugs, pictured, can be included as an option. Purchased in 2002, the set sold for over $500. Very heavy construction and solid sound benefits. (Discovery Cable has discontinued Essential, but the grade of performance on this wire was similar to the Cardas midgrade of the time.)    
IF THE WIRE IS NOT NEEDED, TAKE $150.00 OFF THE PRICE.  $750 TOTAL.

Prefer a local pickup, as the shipping carton is no longer available. My location is 2 hours East of Los Angeles in Palm Desert, Ca. Personal delivery can be arranged to anywhere in Southern California, Phoenix or Las Vegas.  Small delivery charge.    
A shipping carton similar to factory quality can be constructed at a small cost, should the buyer want FedEx delivery. The seller has background in shipping audio equipment safely.
