I recently upgraded to Salk Soundscape 8's and have these for sale.
I'm the original owner and I bought it directly from Jim Salk in 2009.
These are the speakers I've held for the longest time since I've been in this hobby. They have such tremendous value that I didn't feel a need to upgrade until I started reading about SoundScape for about 3 years.
Jim has a very nice video on them http://www.salksound.com/songtower home.htm
Here is the link to Song Center http://www.salksound.com/songtcenter features-pricing.htm
I'm asking $2,200 + shipping (CONUS only) for both Song Towers & Song Center. I don't want to separate but I'm open if you are willing to pay a higher price .
I'm in Minneapolis/St. Paul. If somebody locally is interested you come and listen to them.
I've original boxes that came with speakers.
Paypal add 3% or use No Fees Paypal payment
PM for any questions.
I'll post some detailed pictures later.
Here is how its setup. I've covered the side with flocking paper to prevent reflection.

Good lord man! Welcome to Crazy Malikarshad's Discount High End Speakers!!!
$2300 is insane pricing for these speakers folks.
If I wasn't currently trying to liquidate some of my own stuff right now, I would own these and be moving the LSis out!"Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."
"Unwad those panties and have a good time man. We're all here to help each other, no matter how it might appear." DSkip -
Yes this is an insane price. Seriously there are no mark ups on these speakers and people don't know that. BTW Salk prices are going up in June so grab it while you can before I change my mind on the prices.
I had full Lsi setup (Lsi 15, LsiC, LsiFx, Lsi 7) prior to Salk Song setup . I moved up to Salk Song series and it was a significant step up. Here is the thread that i started back then

Here is another discussion on Salk Song Towers

I currently upgraded to Salk SS8 and there are simply amazing speaker for both 2 CH and HT although they also cost 4 times more. And yes they are more than 4 times better.

You don't have to sell me on Salks. Met Jim on my birthday and got to hear the Exoticas and the HT2s extensively.
I wanted Songtowers for my bedroom but ended up recently buying something else.
I have tried a few times to convince my wife that I need your speakers but between house upgrades and our upcoming house build, not to mention the nearly flat 1k to 20k in room response i get from the LSis now, she won't OK the purchase.
But GLWS. You have fantastic speakers at an insane price point. Not sure why they haven't sold already."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

Wow Malik, at these prices, I can't believe someone local hasn't jumped on these, this is madness. GLWTS!

Wonderful sound from these SongTowers. I owned a pair in Hell Fire Candy Apple Red
Sexy as H - E - Double Hockey Sticks and the sonics were even better!!
I upgraded to the good Veracity HT2s Double the cost but more than double the fun
IMHO, you'll love the way they're voiced
Great sound, Great price. I highly recommend them . . .GLWTS

Thanks for the support. Yes they are terrific speakers. You have to spend much more to beat its performance. I was also considering H2TL but since SoundScape 8 came out i was drooling for years and finally pulled the trigger.
I'm really surprised nobody has pulled the trigger yet.
Its does not get better than this at this price point.

Surrounds I's pics added. They are still mounted and matches perfectly to rest of the package.
They really make a nice 5.0 package. Pickup a sub and you are good to go on an awesome 5.1 HT setup and works with 2 channel or MultiChannel audio.

Just to let you know that this can be refinished in any other veneer of your choice. The options on veneer are limitless and Jim Salk is known to match what you ask for.
You can send an email to Jim Salk and he can quote you on that.
Check this customization Jim did for Exotica 3
I can ship to Jim if that's the route you wanna go.
This is a great package deal and I'm really surprised nobody has shown any interest.
Don't hesitate and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

All you need to do is send a sample to Jim Salk and he'll do his magic.
