Serial numbers 029585 and 029586. Cherry finish. These speakers were purchased from an authorized B&W dealer in the Minneapolis area. I am the original owner. They are in excellent condition; used but not abused. I have the original packaging.
Why am I selling these speakers? I am upgrading my HT system.

Stand-mount/Bookshelf loudspeaker system
Product Summary
The DM602 S2 is a 2-way vented-box system with a woven Kevlar® cone bass/mid
driver which virtually eliminates distortions caused by radial waves travelling back and forth along the cone.
The aluminum dome tweeter produces amazing open sound. The high quality cabinets are attractively finished in a choice of Black Ash or Cherry vinyl.
In common with all other models the grey baffle, moulded in mica-filled polypropylene,
forms a second layer to the wooden baffle adding stiffness and damping.
A review from What Hi-Fi (July 1999) underpinned our belief in the speaker with comments including, "providing a fantastic level of refinement in a medium sized box and having enough bass weight and control to satisfy those into rock and dance. Great all-rounders and an excellent buy”.
Technical Highlights
Nautilus™ Tweeter: B&W's Nautilus Tweeter technology ensures that the sound
remains focused and time-sensitive and that the stereo-image is presented with
unparalleled three dimensional accuracy.
Kevlar®: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar® for
loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally
created Kevlar® for use in bulletproof vests.

The price is $300.00 plus shipping. Shipping is getting pricey so I am setting the shipping amount at $60.00. If the actual shipping cost is less than $60.00 I will refund the difference. If the actual shipping cost is more than $60.00 I will catch it.
Payment via PayPal is okay if your address is verified but I would prefer a money order from the United States Post Office.
