This is a very special offering of a pair of custom designed Van L “QUARTETS” by VAN L SPEAKERWORKS of Chicago. One of two pairs ever made to these specifications.  The speakers are in mint condition. I’d really prefer to keep these (the best I’ve owned next to the big Usher BE-10’s – which cost many times more) but need the funds for my next speaker project. 

I am the second owner.  The designer (first owner) tells me he had about $6,000 invested in the speakers and stands.

Here are the details:  These are monitor speakers with a D’Appolito Configuration (mid/bass-tweeter-mid/bass). My particular gloss black Quartets were custom designed with added ultra high end custom crossover components, silver over pure copper internal wire, hand-picked drivers including hand-built Hiquphon (from Denmark) tweeters, and custom fabricated matching stands.  John Van Leishout built just two pairs with these specifications.  I have one of the two pairs.  At the time these were designed and built the “Quartet Plus” offering sold for $3595.00.  These have an additional $1,000 just in custom parts over and above the Quartet Plus grade. They come with custom designed and fabricated stands built just for the speakers which feature wire concealment; sand or shot filling; unique outboard leveling and acoustic isolation.  The Quartets will be delivered with the speaker cable required to connect the Ambient Recovery System. Check the Van L. website for a full working description of this unique design. The speakers measure 20” x 8” x”14”.  They weigh 35 pounds each.

The speakers are available to audition (just a couple hours north of Chicago) and I will arrange to drive some distance from southern Wisconsin for delivery.  While I prefer local pick-up the speakers and stands can be shipped.  This will require four boxes likely and I will double box the speakers if shipping (at the buyer’s expense).

A quick google search and visit to the Van L. Speakerworks website will offer a full description and specification for the speakers.

Shipping from 53574. Am asking $2,250 (Or Best Offer) Will entertain serious offers.
