I will be posting this on Audiogon in a few days but thought I would put this out for anyone who may be interested. I own an original pair of the Kismet Reference Floorstanding Speakers which Klaus told me are Lorelei's on steroids. They look exactly like the Lorelei's, but with a much more beefier and sophisticated crossover. They are in a Santa Rosewood finish and went for 3500.00. These were purchased new in 2009 and I bought them used in 2010. They have been boxed up the past couple of years and they are in great shape. I will be giving these away for 1200.00 plus shipping. If anyone is interested (really interested, not tire kickers) drop me a PM. They will be going up for sale on Audiogon later this week. Granite bases are not part of the sale and not for sale. I added the gold cones and inserts for better isolation. The cones cost me 240.00 for both speakers
Klaus, if you do not want this here, please delete at your convenience.

Where are you located?
My usual question when hard to ship items I'm interested are offered.
-
The speakers are not hard to ship, I have the original boxes and packing. I bought these from a person who lives in Texas, I live in Rhode Island. They survived a 2000+ mile trip via FedEx ground with no problems.

GLWS Bob, that is a great speaker at a great price. My pair has been back in the Family Room system for the last three weeks while my Spatial's are being upgraded. You have to spend a lot more to find a better speaker plus it has a high WAF.

Thank you for posting the picture, I had forgotten it was here. I just posted 3 pictures in the original post.

Those are gorgeous!
Every time I've heard those speakers, I've been impressed - they sound very good on a such a wide variety of music.
I'd bet they sell fast at that price.
-
Thank you. I want to see them go to a good home and to someone who will appreciate them. They sound quite special with the Stratos Extreme I drove them with. I really hesitated selling these over the past 2 years as I always thought I would gift them to my son but he is uninterested.

:scratch: A gift! Does he hate music? Does he hate movies? Does he hate beautiful neutral tint rosewood?
My mind is boggled. Daddy ..... ?

I have a pair of these with the kismet upgrade which I really enjoy. Look in my gallery for photos of the kismet crossover.
On a side note, and I don't know if you have or if Klaus cares, but you may want to get Klaus' blessing before posting sale ads in the Odyssey circle.

Brett,
You are absdolutely right on this, it never ocurred to me to ask Klaus first. I should have known better. I posted a note to Klaus in the first post asking him if he feels it is an inappropriate post, then to please delete it.
-
I'm glad the the sale worked out well for you and the buyer. Someone's gonna be very happy!
I didn't mean to speak for Klaus, or be the local badge carrying internet police officer, on this one. I agree that it's a good way to get Odyssey products for sale in front of those that are already in, or want to join, the Odyssey club.
Have you already picked out their replacement?
-
I haven't been using these for the past two years but right now I have the Golden Ear Triton Reference speakers and the Golden Ear Triton 1 speakers in 2 different systems.
