We have up for sale a very nice pair of B&W (Bower & Wilkins) Model 705 speakers. They measure (in inches) approximately: 16 3/4 high 11 1/2 deep 8 3/4 wide

We tested them very carefully and they work as they should. This includes a low volume test (with the bass boosted) to test for loose voicecoils.
We will double box them with extra care and promise they will arrive working properly and exactly as described.No long term warranty beyond that.
Note we are just getting back on Audiogon but have many years with a perfect E-Bay score under the same name! We've also been selling fine vintage audio gear through our store in the SF Bay Area for over 45 years.

Note that the asking price is what I'd like to get for them. The make offer is there just in case I'm overwhelmed by a local offer. Don't want to sell them twice!

Local pick up is fine by appointment,. Sales Tax of 9.25 % is charged on any sale picked up or shipped within California. Selling to the USA and Canada ONLY!

Questions for the seller
Can I see photos of the bottoms of the cabinets? Better, clearer shots of all side would help. Photos taken with a camera are much better than those taken with a cell phone. Also, the shipping costs start from $92.77. I'm not sure if that means to my house or some house closer to you. I'm in Livonia, MI. Is the cost $92.77? Thank you.
Hi: I'm away and might not be able to take pictures for a few days but will as soon as I can. Generally freight is quoted zip code to zip code. $92.77 seems a little high but it's one place where I get spoiled by E-Bay. They get a hefty discount from the carriers and pass it on to the buyers/sellers-not sure if Audiogon does that... Expected weight and box size should appear in the listing if you want to research further. My zip is 94709. Rich
According to the dimensions and weight and zip code that you gave, and an arbitrary value of $700, the cheapest FedEx delivery is $119.64. I have found that what it says online is not always the price at the facility.
Hi: Sorry for the slow response as I've been out of town this week. I need to research a little more concerning rates but beware there are at least three different tiers of pricing. The most expensive is taking it to a pack and ship place with their mark-ups, the middle being the ''retail'' rate if you have a FedEx account, the cheapest being the highly discounted corporate rate. on E-Bay they negotiate the corporate rate which makes for a considerable savings and they pass it on to their sellers. This is my first time back on Audiogon in a while and I thought I saw something where they were doing the same type of discounts if shipped through the Audiogon account. I look at shipping costs as something I like to break even on although sometimes I don't even do that! Just so I can sleep at night I do tend to over pack things and nothing ever sows up destroyed! This sometimes makes for slightly larger, heavier packages. Rich
You addressed the last part of my message but not the first parts. Did you forget or have you not had the time? I just went to a guy's house to see his 705s, and up close with my glasses, I could see the flaws that didn't show up in the photos that he took with his cell phone and posted online. Thanks
Sorry for the slow response... I posted some additional pictures this morning showing the bottoms and a few others showing other views. These were all taken with a digital camera but photography is not my strong suit! If you're looking for that pristine, mint pair it's not these. That being said they don't have any glaring cosmetic flaws. Rich
