SOLD: Odyssey Lorelei - Black Ash
« on: 26 Jun 2013, 11:42 pm »
Up for sale are my pair of Odyssey Lorelei in black ash.  I bought these second-hand about six months ago and have enjoyed them, but am ready for a significant upgrade in my system.  There should be plenty of reviews about these out there, so I'll let the internets speak for themselves about their merits.  I know I was very impressed when I first heard them at RMAF several years ago with Odyssey electronics - and I remain impressed.



They have upgraded binding posts - Eichmann I believe.  I am told they won't take much abuse in over tightening and can be fragile if bumped.  I haven't had any problems, but something to be aware of.  They also have after-market cone footers - three points of contact in a triangular arrangement, not four in a square.  Makes them a touch wobbly if you're pushing against them, but the cones keep them in place well (I have carpet). 

I have original boxes - solid packing, so they'll be shipped securely.  I can use whatever shipping method you prefer.  Buyer pays shipping - about 80lbs times two from 66502.  I'll eat Paypal if that's how you want to pay.

Here are a couple quick pics - let me know if you desire more closeups.  There are a few marks, but the black color hides everything from any reasonable viewing distance.  I can try to get some closeups if that matters, but they don't show any flaws from listening position.







Here's what the previous seller wrote in his advert, which I would agree with:

"Speaker look and sound great, but some minor damage on one side of one speaker cabinate, so I guess I have to rate them a 6 [Audiogon scale]. They look lots better than "fair" though I want to be sure not to over rate the condition. These have Eichman binding post, sound better than a hunk of brass but not very robust so care must be taken not to over tighten them. Three Audio Selection cones are glued on as footers."

Posted on Audiogon.  Here are a couple close-up pics trying to show the minor damage.  The marks are 1" and 1/2" respectively, and each has been colored in with black marker so it's not visible without looking carefully.  I used flash in the pics to highlight - it took several tries each to make them visible.  They're just on one side of one of the speakers, and easily out of view when placed in my system.

Make me an offer if you think my price is too high.
