This is a great deal to any audiophiles out there that like to tinker.
I have a set of these that no longer fit in with my lifestyle and would like to give them away. These were well-regarded speakers in their time, and a couple of threads on this site seem to bear that out. These monsters beat the pants off of the 901s I listened to when I bought them overseas in about 1980, in both sound quality and sheer power. They are wood cabinet floor-standers with 16 inch woofers, 2 mid-ranges, and 2 tweeters. They're hungry, needing at least 100 watts RMS per channel, but they'll shake your whole house.
The only problem I know of is the cones on both woofers are falling apart and need replacing. I haven't put any power through them in 10 years, so there are no guarantees.
Anyone interested? Shipping them would be expensive since they are very big and must weigh 75 pounds apiece. I live in southeastern Massachusetts in the US.
