System was bought directly from Von Gaylord Audio after hearing them at the 2016 California Audio Show (where they won best room). It was a demo system that had toured the globe and acquired some battle scars (3 dinged corners, 2 scratches on the top and 1 nick on the tweeter surround). For a 60% discount, it was worth it, since the cosmetic issues are not apparent from sitting distance. Also, Von Gaylord Audio refurbed the electronics and extended a 3 year warranty. It is therefore conservatively rated as 5, though it should pass as a 7.

Custom Sound Anchors 3-post stands were purchased for $1200 (and are included with the sale along with spikes). They add a lot to the imaging capabilities of the system.

A 10ft run of Tri-Wired Legend 4 speaker cables (silver and gold) were also purchased from VGA ($2995), and can be included for an additional $950. (The sheer amount of precious metal in these cables alone is worth more than that. For context, 80 ft of 18awg Neotech silver wire will set you back $1900)

There are 6 boxes, so shipping can either be via FedEx small package or via freight on a single pallet based on your preference. I will cover any shipping expense above $250.
Priced aggressively so it can find a new home soon. I am trying the other end of the speaker spectrum with Magico.

Questions for the seller
Before you bought the Sound Anchor stands, did you have the original VGA stands? If so, do you still have them?
Yes, I did, but they were not as structurally rigid so I returned them to VGA for a refund, which I put towards the Sound Anchors. The sonic improvement was substantial.
