For sale is a pair of Lipinski L505 studio monitors. They are in great condition, a 9 out of 10. Featuring dual 5" woofers and a Neodymium tweeter, these work great combined with a sub (I used a 10" Velodyne). Binding posts allow for bi-amping. Foam-lined carrying cases are included.
$1850 (obo) for the pair. Shipping not included.

The L-505s (and the larger L-707s) are a passive design in sealed enclosures. Lipinski states that the presence of an internal amplifier creates unacceptable results — up to 15-percent second-harmonic distortion — on its speaker's response curve. Furthermore, a few feet of good heavy-gauge wire won't diminish performance, rendering any “self-powered” issues moot. The beefy connectors certainly won't impair signal flow either.
The heart of the magnetically shielded L-505 speaker point-source design is the 1-inch neodymium ring-radiator tweeter and its placement. Time alignment is accomplished acoustically with depth positioning instead of electronic or crossover-induced delay. The crossover is built with premium-quality parts: foil inductors and oxygen-free copper wiring throughout. The tweeter is center-positioned between the two 5-inch (top and bottom) glass-fiber mid woofers. Specially designed textured Belgian foam eliminates side reflections, resonances and other anomalies — all designed for the best imaging and flattest frequency response possible. It is suggested that the tweeters should be at head level for the best imaging and the speakers should be placed on a solid, stable surface. Sand or lead shot-filled, heavily anchored supports are recommended, or use Lipinski's L-36 36-inch stands.
On the rear, two 1-inch gold-plated brass connectors per post give plenty of surface contact area for spade lugs, 2AGW wire or banana plugs. Although rated to run efficiently on as little as 75 watts RMS, the L-505s are stated to accept much more power than that.
Lipinski recommends using a subwoofer with these speakers and makes its own supplementary subs: models L-150 and L-150G. The smooth 70Hz roll-off matches my own sub perfectly; the hand-off is smooth and coherent. Even with the sub switched off for testing, the L-505s delivered a smooth, solid sound all the way down to 40 Hz. Mid bass didn't get muddy or sloppy; everything stayed tight down to the subwoofer crossover point.
