A truly unique opportunity!
Price is $1,600 OBO for the pair including stands.
This pair of satellite loudspeakers is designed to operate from 100Hz and up, and was considered to be the top internal reference loudspeaker system for one of the world's largest audio companies. It was designed and built by this company's senior loudspeaker transducer engineer for his personal system. They operate as dipoles up to 1.5kHz, and monopoles above there. The system must be equalized for correct performance and is being sold at a low price that is less than the cost of the replacement parts. This product is only for a serious owner who is comfortable taking acoustic measurements and creating EQ.
The all-aluminum transducers are upgraded from stock for improved performance and to attain extremely low distortion. Dr. Wolfang Klippel, who is one of the world's leading authorities on loudspeaker characterization and distortion, heard this system and judged "no discernible distortion" up to the maximum of the listening session, which was roughly 110 dB at the listening position. The arrays operate mostly as line sources in the Fresnel diffraction zone at a typical listening distance of roughly 3m and have very high sensitivity. Average impedance modulus is about 5 Ohms. Crossover is passive LR-4 at 1.5kHz and 7.3kHz.
They will perform best in large listening rooms where the satellites can be located at least four feet from the wall behind them. Imaging is precise and expansive, with a wonderful sense of space and depth, yet with excellent resolution, detail, and delicacy. This happens when we keep the Haas window mostly reflection-free (to 8ms at the very least,) hence the recommendation of a larger acoustic space. Dynamics are essentially unlimited with extremely low HD and IMD products and very high power handling.
Top attention was devoted to performance. While it passes an “Ikea level” of fit and finish, and will look fine in most living rooms, owners of equipment like some top-end turntables, for example, won't be satisfied.
Auditioning is welcome, but only for serious inquirers. Thank you!

Housekeeping:
Due to their size and weight, shipping is strongly discouraged and must be arranged separately. The speakers are in Yuma, AZ which is about 4.5hr from LA, 2.9hr from SD, and 2.9hr from PHX.
