-- Polymer Audio MKS-X Full range speakers -- 

Cost no object design with rare, highly desirable and best made  Diamond Tweeter's and Diamond Mid Range drivers !

One owner purchased new from us in 2015, Weinhart Design in 8/10 condition were $62,000 new and now only if picked up in  La Canada (adjustment to Pasadena) $10,995.

We do not have boxes and they are compact elegant design but each cost no object speaker weighs over 400 pounds each and PREFER LOCAL PICK UP AND OR BUYER. We could have a crating company build wooden custom crate's likely around $600 plus all shipping & insurgence costs and likely a 100 pound shipment.  We therefore prefer a pick up or local buyer and could arrange delivery within 100 miles of Pasadena.

                   


"The Polymer Audio MKS-X ($62,000/pair) has a backstory that starts with it's "cost no object dense cabinet and overall design using some of the best and most expensive parts known. Its front baffle is machined from a material five
times more stiff and well damped than aircraft-grade aluminum (and
requiring 16 hours of milling on a CNC lathe), while its cabinet
material is a mixture of alloys and sourced from a military contractor.
Such heroic materials produce "the world's most inert cabinet,"
according to the company, "to push resonances beyond the ability of
instruments to measure them." The MKS-X's driver complement is just as
intriguing, featuring both a pure-diamond tweeter and midrange --
together using twelve carats of synthetic diamond. Silver internal
wiring, silver-wire inductors and cotton damping materials are also used
because, the company feels, they are simply the best available for the
application.

The MKS-X weighs 400 pounds, due to all of its
high-tech, inert materials and machined stainless-steel outrigger base,
but it's not very tall -- about 40" or so.

Partnered with FM
Acoustics electronics, the MKS-X sounded highly detailed, direct and
composed, although somewhat thick in the bass, perhaps due to the room,
the rest of the system, or something else. No matter -- this is a
company on a clear mission and with the MKS-X it has produced an
unambiguous expression of it. We look forward to hearing more."  (The Audio Beat)   http://www.theaudiobeat.com/newport2014/newport2014_polymer.htm

Polymer MKS-X

Here
is a product that is the result of extreme exploration at the
boundaries of current technology. Our product development efforts are
purely driven by rigorous and objective engineering principles. At the
core of our development work is obsessive focus on reducing and
eliminating distortion that is present in mechanical, electrical, and
acoustical domains of a loudspeaker system. And our research in this
area has shown that when this is achieved, a much more visceral
emotional connection to music takes place.

But in the MKS-X
certain things defy engineering. It is something that we cannot measure
with any instrument. It is an example of an object taking on properties
that were not known by its own creator.

We cannot adequately
describe this product and strongly encourage an audition with an
experienced dealer. When properly set-up in a system with sufficient
component synergy all “Hi-Fi” artifacts are gone and a startlingly
lifelike recreation of live music is within reach.

Another stark
difference between the MKS-X and the vast selection of loudspeakers
currently available is that it continues to reveal nuance and continues
to engage the listener over time. We believe that its complete freedom
from any kind of electronic signature and lack of a “Hi-Fi” nature makes
it an absolute reference that has astonished listeners. Because the
Hi-Fi effect can appear to be impressive in a short demo and then
boredom sets in over time, we encourage a careful and extended audition
to fully understand the capabilities of this product.

Features:

• Laboratory grade silver from input to output


• 5N silver wire inductors for best signal transmission


• Crossover network designed entirely without the use resistors


• Steep crossovers filters are accomplished with minimal parts
  count. The band pass circuit for diamond midrange is just a total of 4
  parts.


• All mechanical resonances are eliminated from crossover
  components both internally with damping compounds and externally with
  potted enclosures to protect delicate circuitry from powerful forces
  generated inside the cabinet.


• Pure diamond tweeter, maintains theoretically ideal pistonic motion throughout its entire pass band.


• Pure diamond midrange, like the tweeter this midrange maintains
  theoretically ideal pistonic motion where human hearing is most
  sensitive. Other cone materials bend and flex and warp at various
  frequencies creating colorations that are not on the recording (creating
  a sound of their own). The MKS-X allows you to hear exactly the signal
  as supplied by your electronics.


• World’s most inert cabinet construction using a combination of
  metal alloys to push resonances beyond the ability of instrument’s to
  measure them. The front baffle is machined out of a solid billet of
  material that is 5 times more damped and 5 times more stiff than
  aluminum. All ringing modes in the mid-range are eliminated.


• Complex geometry and strategically placed merino wool inlays completely address diffraction by both scattering and absorption


• Acoustic centers of drivers are positioned to achieve near point source radiation


• Ideal horizontal dispersion characteristics optimize reflected energy in the room
