Thanks for the inquiries from the 7 -8 of you that have reached out. I am selling them, but I am not selling them for less than a pair of SongTowers. I will let them sit in the basement of my other house rather than that. I do want someone to enjoy these (for sure), but this is not the most fun experience for me, and making it more painful isn't worth it. I don't need the money.
So that said, I will address a few questions that I got and some explanations. First, I have reached out to Jim about repairs. He needs to see pictures. I am going to put them at the bottom of this thread and send them to him. Rightly or wrongly, the sinker cypress hides the imperfections very well. I would say that there is only one major scrape (thanks kid), but it is hidden pretty well by the color alone.
Second, I have to check, but I believe I have the original crossovers and will include them in the sale. I replaced them completely on new boards. They were solen caps, copper airgap coils and mills resistors. I replaced them with Jupiter foil resistors, Jantzen wax copper coils and mills resistors. The changes were mostly subtle, but there is more detail in the high end. The subs have not been touched. The caps, resistors and new coils were over $2k. So I think that would bring the retail on the speakers to $17-18k.
I guess I will make my initial ask $8,500. A bit more than 50% off. Plus fees and shipping. I will update this post in a bit with the pictures as I have to go to a CLE class now, though they are in my gallery.
