SOLD: Salks HT-3's
« on: 29 Dec 2012, 04:58 am »
Putting my beautiful Salks HT-3's up for sale.  I want to try high efficient crossover-less speakers with low watt Set amps.

My Salks have these upgrades:
Burled veneer cabinets and base plates
Solid Claro walnut baffles
Hand rubbed lacquer finish
Upgraded Sonicaps
Blackhole 5 cabinets
Custom color speaker grills
I'll rate them 8/10 only because they are 5 years old, otherwise very good to excellent.

 If you bought them now would cost close to $8,000.00 USD.
 Asking $4,000.00.

 Local pickup preferred. I might be willing to deliver, if not to far.
Location is Staten Island, NY 10306

Thanks for Looking,
Joe

They are beauties. Sadly: I'm in FL... and poor post-Christmas.

I've also heard these speakers at Joe's place and they sound incredible. As good as they look in the pictures, seeing them in person is a big fat WOW.

If you audition these, better bring cash and a large vehicle, cause you will be taking them home with you.

Having seen these in person at Joe's lovely home, I can honestly say these are the most beautiful pair of Salk speakers I've ever seen... & they sound great to boot!

Joe is a meticulous audiophile with all his gear! He rates these speakers 8/10 but they are closer to a perfect "10"

Someone will be very, very lucky to go home with this pair...

My $0.02,
Pete

Wow!  Nice-looking speakers!  I know they are not very efficient.  What amp are you using to power them?  I've got 200 watts @ 8 ohms and 400 @ 4 ohms.  Will that be enough?

Hi,
I am using a Spectron. 400 watts into 4ohms should be plenty.
What amp do you have? Is your the room really big and do you like to play at very high sound levels?

Regards,
Joe

I'm in an apartment so I can't play them as loud as I would like to at times.  My old ears can't take too much of that anymore.

Nice pair of Speakers in an unbelievable finish :o

Good luck with the sale.

Mine take everything that you throw at them in terms of power etc. What really makes them come to life is the quality of the components upstream.
