Dennis Murphy MBOW1 pair in NJ
« on: 17 Aug 2022, 11:54 pm »

Hi:

I have an old pair of MBOW1 monitors, an early hit by Dennis Murphy.  Probably around 15 years old, and used for half of them. http://murphyblaster.com/content.php?f=MBOW1.html
has crossover and dimensions


One of them has a small indent in the woofer cap, which I didn't bother to do anything about because they still sounded fine. (At that point they were my TV speakers.) GR research sells this woofer still.

Cabinet was made by somebody on audiocircle; serviceable and in OK shape. I assembled the crossover using parts from GR Research (decent quality).

I am moving, so: (i) $100 for NJ pickup until Aug 22. **Free** after that. The atacama stands are bundled in for free.
(ii) $100 for remote shipping, but you have to send me a box and shipping label. Also free after Aug 22 except you pay for shipping. Stands not worth shipping.

Have to be gone by Aug 25! You won't get better sound for $100, guaranteed (let alone free).

The tweeters are worth that. 
If they don't sell, I'd give your asking price for the drivers and crossover... if you'll split the shipping to Tx.

THanks for the expression of interest. Totally agree that I could have sold this for a  fair bit more.

Somebody local is picking it up on Friday. Didn't want any hassle at a busy time, hence the low price. I'd rather have somebody enjoy this great speaker since it has been sitting in the basement for several years.

Hi,

A $100usd what a bargain. Someone is going to be very happy with these speakers :).

Cheers Rod

Rocket,

I am the lucky one who got the speakers.  I think I seen the offer within minutes of the posting.  Yes, I am very happy with the speakers.  They sound realllly good.

Dennis did a great job designing the speaker and Sarora9 did a great job making them.

It is amazing how much sound, detail and clarity comes out of this little two-way speaker.

I can’t thank Sarora9 enough for allowing me to have and enjoy theses speakers.
