Highly regarded and glowingly reviewed hybrid electrostatic speakers, designed by Roger Sanders, one of the pioneers of the technology. The ESL panels crossover to the dynamic 10 inch woofers at an extraordinarily low 172 Hz, for a virtually full-range electrostatic signal.

I part with these superb speakers with great reluctance, to pay a large tax bill. They will be impossible to replace at anything like this low price.

The speakers are designed to be actively bi-amped, which will require four channels of quality amplification. I have been driving them with an Anthem MCA 50 five channel amplifier [silver], which will also be available for purchase next week for a reasonable price TBD. This combination of Sanders speakers and Anthem amplifier has worked very well.

The speakers are modular, and ship in separate boxes for the bass enclosures, the ESL panels and the frames. [See the dimensions below.]

Please note: When calculating shipping, add to the boxes explicitly cited [in the shipping section of this ad] the additional shipping containers noted below in the body of this text: one for the ESL panels [48 x 5 x 18 @ 20 lbs] and two tubes for the speaker frames [72 x 4 x 4 @ 20 lbs each]. Without the addition of these containers the shipping total will be inaccurate.
