I've decided to downgrade my third (bedroom) system, which I rarely listen to any more, so I'm selling my beautiful Egglestonworks Fontaine speakers. Essentially Eggleston Andras without the woofer section, 210 lb. weight or $14,000 cost. The original price for the Fontaine was $5400, which moved up to $8500 for the final version.
They are possibly the best pair out there. No marks on the speakers, perfect drivers, and only a few minor scratches on the bases. They look close to new. No grills (EW doesn't recommend using them), but they have the original spikes, some of the best I've used.
Stereophile Andra review:
https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/237/index.htmlI've replaced the tweeter caps with ClarityCap CMRs, which are very good with the fabulous Dynaudio Esotar T330D tweeters.
I prefer local pickup in Seattle, but I can ship them in 4 boxes, ~180 lbs total.
I reviewed them here, so have a look here for full details:
https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=163632.0These are great to ~45 hz. as-is in small to medium rooms, but in a larger space with a good sub they give you the sound of the Class A Andras in a far cheaper and easier to manage size and weight.
They are quality throughout. I love owning them, and consider them to be works of audiophile art, but they are not giving anyone the enjoyment they should be providing.
Someone is going to feel like they got a huge bargain!
Thanks for having a look!
