FS UK: Troels Gravesen Illuminator 7751

I was lucky enough to purchase these directly from Troels, hand built by himself his new Illuminator 7751 speakers. £3,300 collected or £3,600 shipped to anywhere in the UK/EU.

I think the illuminator drivers and this design would be well suited to someone who likes tube amplifiers. The 15WU has had the mid-range cone edge treatment by Troels which was an extra cost.

They cast a very large soundstage!

3-way speaker.
Dimensions: 22 x 32 x 110 cm, WxDxH.
System sensitivity: 90 dB/2.8V/1 meter.
Impedance: 4-8 Ohms.
Power requirement: 20+ watts/channel. Not recommended for small <10 wpc SET amps.
Power handling: 300 watts. Based on 2 x 18WU power handling.

Would you believe the shipping them *almost* anywhere in the world costs about the same as shipping them to Europe… bonkers. Anyhow, now happy to ship to anywhere including USA, Australia etc… just chat to me and I’ll confirm if it’s possible.
 
Hi stretchneck:
Do you already have them at home?
How do these speakers perform playing orchestra music? As I have read Tröels has tested them with jazz music and similarities.
If they cover well this wide range of music, from pop, jazz, voice solos and orchesta I will assemble them. Your information will be very well appreciated.
Regards.
PD: If any audio professional can give me their opinion based on the measurements done, of course will be very well appreciated, also. Thanks in advance.
 
Sound is similar to Sonus Faber Cremona M, but with greater soundstage depth, more detail and tighter bass.

They are at my home and I have played a range of music through them and they perform equally well across the spectrum of music.

They are typical of Troels speakers in the fact that all of the drivers integrate seamlessly. I think as I have stated elsewhere, I just love hearing different designs and learning from each. I have already owned four pairs of speakers this year 🙂

PM me if interested - they're boxed up and ready to go.
