After a long period of hesitation, I am listing my beautiful pair of Ellis 1801b speakers. I just can't justify keeping them when I won't be able to use them until I graduate from UMD. I just don't have the space to do them justice.
They are built from the kit with a professionally made ($$$) cabinet. They are a stunning birdseye maple in a natural finish - I would call the finish a honey/natural look. The front baffle is solid hardwood birdseye maple and the cabinet is built completely to Dave's specifications. These cost a ton and are the most beautiful speakers I've ever seen. They look 100% production and professional. The finish is flawless.
They also come with an unused set of black grills.
I would prefer a local sale because they are big, heavy, and expensive. I don't want to damage the finish.
DC/MD/NOVA - I am located in Ellicott City, MD 21042. 45 minutes from the district and 20 minutes from Baltimore. I can also meet within a reasonable distance, just ask.
I'm asking $950 for the pair, INCLUDING the nice paradigm sand-filled stands they sit on. These are heavy, attractive, and sound great.
I would also be willing to trade for Headphone gear (Stax Omega 2 etc.), or source equipment. No speaker stuff
Pictures: The Flash makes the cabinets lighter than they really are. They are not quite so white as the pics appear (more a honey color)
