For Sale: Martin Logan Source - minty pair, black ash

I'm selling my 4 yr old pair of Martin Logan Source hybrid electrostats. I'm the 2nd owner over those 4 yrs and I've been absolutely thrilled with these, but when I got the email from Audio Advisor about the ML Electromotion refurbs on sale for $1600 I couldn't resist.
I can't find a mark on these and they sound wonderful. I've got the original boxes, power adapters, dust covers, spikes,etc. (I don't think they came with a manual but it's available online). These are one of the true audio bargains out there and hard to beat for under $3K.
Looking to get $1000 shipped, or $700 plus shipping, whichever is lower, and shipping alone is going to be close to $300 probably depending on where they go. I'll post more pictures later.qlfapckgzkma.jpg

    I have to change the price to $1050 shipped or $700 plus shipping which ever is lowest. I just did the online calculation for Fedex and it's $378 east, $355 mid-west and closer to $300 west coast.

    When Isold my source I remember entering in the box dimentions and as soon as I added the width Isaw these special handling charges putting on an extra. $100 in the ebay fedex calc. I played around with it and it turns out that if the boxes were 13 wide the charge would not apply so that 2 inches on the width costs all the cash.

    Yeah...that's outrageous. You can ship a freaking car 1500 miles for $650 :^ /
    I'm trying to sell locally but it's a very small market area. I'll likely just have to eat some money on these.

    I have to say that sounds pretty ridiculous to me. Do you have a fedex account? I just purchased a custom made media console, 60x20x28, and it was $130 to ship from Colorado to central TX, which is a pretty good trek. It might be cheaper if you put it in one custom box with solid foam sheets in between...a little more work for you, but you will also be able to sell them for more.

    In either case, GLWS!

    Have you ever thought about bulding a killer HT system ? I did it with the Source for surround, it takes up space but there is nothing quite like a full electrostat setup for movies and all ya need is aStage center..

    Thats a great deal! I shipped out a pair of the Theos today and paid the shipping that came to $290. The bass and soundstage is excellent on these and with shipping thrown in it makes it a no brainer. Guys if you never heard martin logan then nows the time to start a lifelong addiction.
