All pre-owned product is tested in our service department and have been passed for sale... and comes with a 90 day warranty!
These are in nice condition! Note: one tweeter grille has noticeable dust spots on mesh that we were not able to remove. Does NOT affect the sound.There are a few scratches on the veneer.
Original box and packing are NOT available, due to the nature of the tweeter placement, these are LOCAL SALE ONLY!
See the excellent Stereophile review here.
"The most unusual aspect of its design concerns the tweeter, mounted on a sloped cutaway at the top of the baffle. The enclosure is constructed from ¾" MDF, and is made rigid by a vertical brace at the sidewall centers. I want to call this a "figure-8" brace, except that it has three rather than two holes. The cabinet walls are lined with 1" foam. The reflex port, almost 2" in diameter and 6" deep, is situated on the front baffle immediately beneath the woofer and is flared to minimize wind noise. This HF unit is a metal-dome unit descended from the 1" tweeter used in B&W's classic Matrix 801 design. The 6.5" woofer features a yellow cone formed from Kevlar, the synthetic material used in bulletproof vests. The woofer cone is also surrounded by a circular plastic molding to minimize reflections. The tweeter is covered with a black wire mesh, the woofer and port with an elliptical grille made from black cloth stretched over a minimal plastic space frame."
