Martin Logan Spire Hybrid ESL Cherry

Martin Logan Spire, dark cherry finish

Very good to Excellent condition

Approximately five years old, Second owner

Retail price when new [2012]: $8,500 USD

Asking: $3195 USD

Note:
My asking price of $3195 plus shipping is very reasonable. The average asking price for the Spire on HiFiShark is considerably higher, well into the $5000 range: https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=martin+logan+spire

Therefore, I ask potential buyers not to bother offering less than my asking price plus shipping from Windsor ON N9A4N5. I also ask them to note that shipping for such large speakers is expensive, i.e. $500-700 to North American locations.

The Spire offers extraordinary value for asking price in the Martin Logan recent lineup. Its ESL panels are the same size as the considerably more expensive Summit and Summit X. Its bass driver goes down to a robust 30 Hz.
