Sold:Onix Rocket RS750 MLS Signature Edtn


I am the original owner. These were purchased when the RS750s were
being discontinued and replaced by the RS760s. They have been used,
but not abused in a smoke, pet and child free house. I am selling because
I have finished a few of the GR Research X-series kits and am transitioning
to an all X-CS and X-Omni surround system for both music and home theater.

* System: 2-way, five-driver direct-radiating system, vented enclosure with two
  rear-firing flared ports.
* Drivers: Vifa Ring Radiator tweeter, four custom 5.25" long-throw aluminum
  cone woofers.
* Crossover: Tweeter at 3.8 kHz, progressive array, variable slope.
* Frequency Response: 38 Hz to 20 KHz (± 3 dB)
* Impedance: 6 Ohms nominal
* Efficiency: 88 dB (@ 1 watt / 1 meter)
* Power Rating: 25-200 Watts power handling
* Dimensions: 37.5" H x 15.5" D x 9" W (953 x 394 x 229 mm)
* Weight: 56 lbs (25 kg) each; ship weight = 72 lbs each.

* Finish: Rosewood veneer.
* The brass floor spikes that came with these are new and unused.

Link to the Owner's Manual that came with all the Rocket series speakers.


I have found the voicing of the speakers to be somewhat warm and laid-back
sounding. There is no listener fatigue with these. Their mid-bass is full sounding
and they do well without using a subwoofer. I have driven them on occassion with
numerous different amplifiers ...they do need about 100 watts/ch to make them
really sing.


The price is Sold:$325 USD for the pair, plus the actual shipping charges, insurance
and 'signature confirmation of delivery' fee. Payment may be made by USPS
money order or PayPal (plus PayPal fees, if 'gift' not used). Personal Checks
are accepted, but items will not ship until the check clears at the bank. I will
ship via FedEx Ground (as this appears to be the only practical choice given
their weight). Please use the information and link below to give an accurate
estimate of the total costs ...local pick-up, delivery for the cost of gas and
meeting half way are other delivery options open to discussion.


The OEM packaging is in excellent condition and will be resused.
Each speaker is first covered in the original white cotton shroud,
then heavy foam spacers and end caps are placed. They are then
packed into double cardbord boxes. I have reenforced all the seams
and corners of the boxes with gratuitous amounts of clear packaging
tape.

Parcel ships from zip code: 43082
Parcel weight (each): 72 lbs. 0 oz.
Parcel dimensions: 14" x 20" x 42"

FedEx


If you would like to purchase or have questions, please send me a PM.
For feedback on me as a seller / buyer ...please do a search using the
terms 'For Sale', 'FS' and 'Sold' with the username 'Oscillate' on all the
AudioCircle Trading Post subforums.


Please note that the lighting source I used in the photos cast some
dark horizontal lines across the shots with the grills on. These are
not on the speakers themselves.

























...Thanks for looking :)

The zipcode that they would be shipped from would need to be known before a shipping estimate could be calculated (or for "local" pickup, delivery or meeting halfway).

I am guessing shipping will kill the deal but how much shipped to 84043?
Thanks!

"...how much shipped to 84043?"


FedEx Ground, End of day (4 Business Days) onine qoute is $175.92.

I answered this shipping rate question because shaolin95 brings up
a good point in his post, "I am guessing shipping will kill the deal but...".
Folks, this exactly WHY I have priced these to sell ...because of the heavier
shipping weight. Please remember that local pickup, having them delivered
for the cost of my gasoline or meeting halfway are also open to discussion.

I respectfully ask that other forum members please use the information and
link providied in the 'FS:' post to estimate their shipping costs though, thanks.

Just a word that I bought the speakers.  They're better than mint, actually. Not one mark on them.  He shipped them the first business day after I paid.  He packed them super well.  Thanks for a great transaction!
