Selah Audio Tanzanite (Sealed) Piano Gloss Black - 900$

aboroth00

Up for sale is my pair of Selah Audio Tanzanites. They're great speakers but in my room and setup, I think I'm moving to a different pair of speakers (maybe I just want something new...) so these are up for sale. The finish is piano black gloss which is the premium finish which knocks the retail up to 3k. I am the second owner and the first owner tried to touch up some white spots with a sharpie unfortunately. However, these defects are not even noticeable because the finish is so dark black and you would have to look at it at an angle to identify the imperfection. I don't notice them whatsoever looking at them or walking past or what have you. Grilles are included as well.

That being said, these are spectacular speakers, and one of the best ribbons I have ever heard. The speaker uses a Foundtek Ribbon, Morel dome midrange, and Seas Excel 7" woofer. The kit alone costs 1175 through Rick at Selah not including the cabinet. To improve on this speaker, you would have to look at Salk's or Selah's Tempesta which go for 3k+. Rick is pretty conservative with his sensitivity ratings as they play louder than my Revel's which measure slightly higher sensitivity (85db). Not sure you could get better sounding/looking speakers at this price. Pictures coming this weekend.

The blemishes on top can be seen with a flash but under normal lighting conditions it's quite hard to tell. Superficial scratches on the surface, but it's a beautiful finish.

I forgot to mention that these speakers come with the deluxe upgraded crossover from Selah.

I'll throw in a pair of 24" stands at asking for local buyers. They look absolutely wonderful on these stands. Now you have no excuse not to buy these .

No interest in these fantastic speakers? I understand there isn't too much out there on the brand or on these speakers but I thought its parts would do the talking by itself. The speakers with the standard veneers retailed for ~2.9k with the gloss black veneer being special costs even more! I compared these speakers head to head with the big boys, Dynaudio Contour, Aerial 5B, Revel M22, and the Selah doesn't give up anything to these speakers. Those speakers couldn't replace this bad boy. Rich detailed highs, deep taut bass, warmish midrange. You get new ribbon performance along with some of the best drivers out there. They disappear in your room and throw pin point imaging. You just need to set them up right, have the room and they'll sing, guaranteed. The crossovers had been upgraded with better caps and resistors by Selah so you won't have to go back in to do anything. Selah used point to point instead of a PCB in the crossover. They sure hit way above their price and have the parts to prove it. I highly doubt you'll find anything better or looks better at this price point. Everything from fit, finish, to parts, and drivers scream quality.

I believe the deluxe version of the crossover uses Sonicaps, Mills resistors, AlphaCore copper foil inductors. I'll remove the woofer and take pictures of the innards when I get a chance.
