I am downsizing and now selling my rare set of Rushmore Speakers. I am a the first owner having bought them directly from a dealer. I have the original boxes. I would be willing to pack them; however, you will need to arrange shipping. They are very large and weigh 275 lbs each! Listed as an 8/10 due to age only, I can find no flaws. Meet my price and I'll will have custom crates built in addition to the original boxes. Payment by bank check or wire transfer or we can agree on using escrow account.
-4 Pure Class A Supersymmetry power amplifiers.
-4 level control for each amplifier
From Pass Labs
“Rushmore” represents 30 years of gestation and over three years
of intensive development and revision and thoughtful listening by Nelson Pass
and the staff at Pass Labs. This is an exceptionally dynamic and tonally balanced
active four-way listening system featuring a 15 inch woofer, 10 inch lower midrange,
6 inch upper midrange and a 4 inch ribbon tweeter.
The Rushmore aimed for high dynamic contrast and control with
very low distortion. This was achieved with the finest quality
“strong motor” drivers intimately coupled to single-ended Class A
amplifiers. Each driver (deep bass, midbass, midrange, and high
frequency ribbon) operated over a limited frequency band tailored
to its strengths by a passive filter at the input of each of the four
amplifier channels. The high efficiency (98+ dB/watt) cone drivers
also had very high power handling (up to 400 watts), and the ribbon
tweeter extended from the top octave and far beyond the audio range. With
each speaker driver enjoying its own amplifier and operated at small
percentage of its capacity, the control was precise and the curtains
of distortion parted to reveal phenomenally subtle inner detail.
Made from Gabro Aphibolite (a deep-sea granite) and piano-formed
Cherry layers, they weighed just under 400 pounds
each and cost a small fortune.
It’s years later and we no longer make the Rushmore - the cost of
parts, material, processes and shipping have skyrocketed

is local pickup available Yes. However auditioning them and packing them up would require two separate visits, as I listen to them in my basement and these speakers are very heavy and awkward to move
Thanks for looking
