edited October 2011 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Selling a pair of PRO-10 and a single SHO-10 in horizontal configuration to be used as center channel. They have the original cloth grill. 8/10 cosmetically due to a couple of nicks here and there, but nothing major.

$750 for all 3 + split shipping. Payment via paypal as "gift."

If you're in the Los Angeles area, local pick up is also available.

    These speakers will shock you on how good they sound for music and HT.

    Good luck on your sale.

    I have a couple of Chase Technologies products, still unused in the box. The HTS-1 passive surround decoder, a knock-off of the Dynaco Quadaptor but in a much snazzier pkg, and an RLC-1 remote line-controller/preamp. The RLC-1 was/is an audiophile darling as a real quiet line pre. It also adds remote volume to non-remote capable products like older receivers. Actually, that's what its design function was, an outboard remote-controller. Anyhow, Chase Technologies was also handled through Allison/RDL loudspeakers in the early 90's. The Allison office/showroom had a few of these CT products lying around new in the boxes. I bought a pair of Allison Mini-Reference spkrs that day when I visited, but I don't remember if that's when I got these CT things that I have now.

    CT stuff is cool from what I've seen.

    I could be wrong, but im pretty sure Iskandam's speakers are not from Chase Technologies.

    yes, these are different speakers. Would love to get my ears on the Chase Technologies system though. They sound interesting.

    Yes, they are from Chase Home Theater. The 2 outside speakers are Pro10's and the horizontal speaker is a SHO10. The speakers are very good sounding with little to no ear fatigue. No, I do not work for them. :)

    I can't help but think that CT and CHT are/were one and the same, with a name change dictated by market performance.

    I believe you are right George. I think Home Theater Products acquired Chase Technologies in the mid 90's and they combined names to be Chase Home Theater.

    TRUE!! The founder Craig Chase is a real good guy in audio. I still have a pair of the TWA speakers, they were designed by Danny Richie of GR Research and sound quite good at $200pr for mini-monitors.

    Craig used to hold shootouts in his home after buying the gear outright, then selling the stuff and donating the $$ to charity.

    Any chance the price is negotiable? CHT just had a blow out on their site for the same price (new)

    The price is fair considering several factors:
    • I'm including free shipping via Fed Ex Ground with full insurance to anywhere in the U.S., which is close to $100 for all 3 speakers
    • Their clearance is over and all old models have been sold out
    • You are saving $230 over the clearance price (shipping + grill option)
    • In comparison with the 2012 models, you will be saving $449

    As a bonus for local buyers, I will include the stands for the PRO-10 as shown in the picture as part of the cash and carry deal. They have been filled with dried sand, tipping the scale at 22 lbs each, and outfitted with spikes that are adjustable for height and tilt angle

    As an incentive for local buyers in the Los Angeles area, I will drop the price to $600 cash and carry for all 3 to account for the difference in shipping. Plus you get the sturdy, sand-filled stands for the PRO-10s as an added bonus.

    Otherwise, it's $700 shipped to anywhere in the U.S.

    Final price drop: $600 shipped to anywhere in the U.S. That's 50% off the 2012 model price.

    $500 cash and carry for local L.A. area buyers. Add $50 if you want the stands (Plateau F-17 model in textured black)
