sonus faber concertino with matching stands

[limono]

expensive suckers although I have to admit much better (actually a miles better) than my proac clones (thanks Troels I hope you're better cook or whatever occupation you enjoy keep you day job) I decided to go to heaven drinking whisky so they have to go to finance the journey
Ps pictures on Audiogon. $800 plus all expenses

For all interested parties the shipping weight with stands will be 80lbs +

Not sure if you want to sell the damn things or start a bar fight. Maybe both

Fwiw i once had the Signums; great speakers. Good luck with the sale - shouldn't take long at this price - the stands alone used to cost more.

I'd rate them 6/10 as there are some imperfections and no duct tape vent is not an option with them . You'd have to send them to the master yourself.

Zing!
Nice speakers and stands. Good luck with the sale.

Limono do you mean the SF is better than the 2.5 clone? Hm....

 

[limono]

better than response 1s clone

 

[jmillerdoc]

$800! Jeesh! Thats $300 more than some really fine speakers sold elsewhere at this forum....and your cones aren't even bumped and sucked.....and the finish...my gosh, it is so wrinkled it almost looks like leather.....not sure about these....And the screws even show on the sides....mmmm mmmm mmmm...

Where are you/they located?

 

[limono]

This is easily the most amusing/hilarious post I've ever read on diyaudio, that wasn't writen by me, of course

I don't think the Proac clone is suppose to sound good. It's suppose to sound like the original Proac, no?

Interesting side-note: I once caught a guy throwing away a single Sonus Faber floor-standing 2.5-way tower into the trash.

Got it and you're right and although I didn't have original Proac 1S on hand to compare I did have it's center channel brother CC1 and it appeared to be considerably smoother and little better sounding (than clone) although those HF spikes were still there. "Tinos" are creamy sounding with nice tone and textures and surprisingly decent coherence for the speakers built with modest components and disregarded by many (also by myself in my stupidity ) as a furniture speakers only. If they were plain box vanilla (and priced accordingly) and looked less bourgeois which is a salt in an eye of a former communist I'd kept them. (Enough that for the love of the thing in between I had to accept this fuc..ng leather couch and fake Italian furniture
