I sold these, but took a trio of Ascend Acoustics CMT-340 SEs if anyone's interested. I'll post a more formal ad when I get around to it.

I’m offering this custom built five speaker GR Research, AV123 setup. A pair of X-SLS Encores mains, a single X-CS Encore center and a pair of AV1-RS surrounds.  It would make a great basis for a home theater. I built them last year and they’ve sat in our living room collecting dust ever since.

AV1-RS are sold, front three still available. $1100 or ?

Only time on them is testing…perhaps an hour. It’ not that I don’t like ‘em, I truly enjoy building speakers but have a surplus ‘cuz I can’t control myself!  Two systems are quite enough and I have a big tax bill to pay.

You can see them in process here, about halfway through the thread:

I’m pretty persnickety when doing things for myself, so way too much time was spent building them. I’ll gladly answer any questions or take more detailed photos, but I don’t claim expertise with a camera.

The kits and No-Rez Danny provided ran $721. Material for the carcasses, laminate and miscellaneous bits and pieces likely another $200 +/-. If I included my labor at the rate I’d charge a client, these would run north of $2K. How’s $1500 sound?. I’ll crate them for free at that price. They will ship individually via FedEx or UPS or we can put them all on a pallet and go motor freight.

Great sounding, proven speaker system, one-of-a-kind custom build. You know you need these  :) I may be open to trades of equal value but don’t really want to put any cash into the deal. Uncle Sam wants his share…

Hmmmmm, maybe. They sure look nice all together though...don't you think? They might get lonely without their mates :(

 How about sending me a PM with your offer and I'll consider it. Worst I can say is no.

They really do look GREAT as a set. However I already run a set of LS6's and an LS-C so the front stage is covered. I don't have a clue as to what the surrounds are worth so PM me your price and we'll go from there. Thanks man!
