FS: Egglestonworks Andra II Speakers w/Warranty!
« on: 13 Apr 2007, 09:57 pm »


These by far, have been the best speakers that I have personally owned.  They do just about everything right.  They get out of the way and let the music shine through with naturalness, speed, and realism.  Have you ever heard a piano played through a pair of Andras??  And the soundstage....awesome.  These huge speakers disappear as if they are monitors.

I am the original and sole owner, bought brand new from an authorized dealer (May of '05).  These retail for nearly $19k.  In excellent condition, absolutely nothing wrong with them sonically or cosmetically. 9 out of 10.

You can find information and a review about them here: http://www.egglestonworks.com/.  About 89db efficient, I have successfully ran these with a variety of amps, anywhere from a 22w 300B based tube amp to 500w SS amps.

I would much prefer a local audition and pickup since these are over 200 lbs. each (I'm in the northern Chicago suburbs, 25 mi. or so from downtown), but I can ship provided you take care of the shipping costs.  I have the original shipping crates, packing materials, manual, etc.

Asking $9,400 obo.  They come with the Eggleston Warranty!

More pics available here: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=gallery;area=browse;album=776   Feel free to email with questions, etc.

Selling to take some $$ out of my system....

Thanks George....they will be certainly missed, but I am addicted to the Eggelston sound, so I plan to replace them shortly with an older pair Andra Is or one of the smaller Eggs.

Mark,

Good luck with the sale.  I know I enjoyed them when I visited to extract the DNA-500 from you.

That is a great speaker and a great price.

when I bought my watt/puppies the andra's were a strong competitor.

I actually heard these at Mark's house. I really like how they sound and look. We could easily hear the changes cables made when we compared different ones. We could easily hear the soundstage become more 3 dimensional and open up with changes that were made. The better your equipment the more you will appreciate these speakers. If you are looking for a speaker to build your system around these could definitely be it. A bit out of my price range otherwise I would consider them. :drool:    I would easily prefer these over the Wilson's that I have heard.

Greetings all!

Tomtjx, when you get to speakers at this level, it's all about preferences and synergies with respective equipment.  The Andras match extremely well with my tastes and my Modwright / Dodd equipment!

Arthur, thanks!  yes, we need to touch base again....been too long.  I love what you did in your audio room.  Looks fantastic!

Gregg, thanks for sharing your experience!

Thanks Bluemike!  Worst that can happen is they don't sell and I'm gonna have to keep them.  Oh well, gave it the old college try.... :lol:

Mark, I completely agree, I was trying to pay the Andras a compliment :-)

I think they are every bit as good as the watts and coud be better for some ears.
If I didn't already have my watts I would buy your Andras in a heartbeat, especially at that excellent price.

Somebody should buy these.
