**Reduced to $12499.00** **will consider trade for gear with a similar retail cost**these are exquisitely finished acoustic suspension speakers from Italy. They use only the finest components and materials. The top midrange/tweeter is wrapped in leather and sits on the sealed bass unit. The finish is described as "DAKAR: High gloss beige/grey metallic lacquer in the style of the world's finest automobile finishes" and has a very high WAF. The Siena was their flagship speaker until the recently introduced Florentia which is about 3 times the cost. Of all the dozen pair of high-end speakers I have owned these are my favorite by far. I am the original purchaser and have owned them for about 1.2 years. They come in 3 factory crates which are very high grade 3/4 birch plywood so safe shipping is possible. The sound is lush and with the bass being sealed it is very tight and deep(my 2 JL Audio F112 subs went into my storage closet after buying these) - the mids are to die for and the super tweeter gives lots of air and ambiance - they sound just yummy
Some Italian speakers are said to be a bit laid back - these are not! They are open, clean, detailed and very neutral - just right IMO. I have rated these as an 8/10 due to one tiny chip in the paint that is maybe 1mm in size and really invisible unless your 2 inches away and then hardly.. The front panel is 10mm CNC aluminum and the crossovers use Clarity caps. I have the included jumpers but recommend bi-wiring directly for best sound. I have the included very high grade spikes, manual etc.. I hate to let these go but I've changed amplification and have gone a different direction - I will probably regret it but such is the life of an audiophile. I prefer wire transfer but personal check is ok after clearing. I will only ship these via freight and wrapped on a pallet. Weight is about 150 per speaker and about 420 total for the 3 crates. Local pickup in the Jacksonville, FL area is welcome and encouraged.
