Bowers & Wilkins DM1400 Loudspeakers 8/10 - *SOLD* - Oak

They are in better shape then 8/10, but to be entirely fair I rated them safely. Great speaker, but this collection is just getting larger everyday, so it's time to weed out some pieces.

http://www.bwspeakers.com/downloadFile/speakermodel/DONE_-DM1400_manual.pdf

These have an electronic time alignment by way of the crossover....which I can't say definitively whether it's better than the earlier DM1400, non-TA, as I have not heard them side by side. However, they sound great, and this is when B&W made really good, traditional speakers.

I also like the built in overload protection that is self resetting, much like the older Polk's.

No shipping, local pick up only.

Smooth silk dome response with solid bass. I have shot loaded the stands which really helped the bass response. The cabinets have been re-oiled, stands cleaned and loaded, binders treated with CAIG Pro-Gold. These are not bi-wireable. Grills are snag free and in excellent shape.

The factory stands are included, as is all the hardware for mounting them directly to the speakers. This assures a solid connection between both, and helps with coupling the speaker to the floor. They have a few superficial surface scratches, but other wise are also in excellent shape.

Includes: Factory stands(Loaded) and PDF Owners Manual.
CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Peersool - Yea sorry man, I wish that my opinion was different on shipping speakers.

    Thank you Steve, and I was just busting your ball's on the DAC/CDP thing. It looks like a real cool piece of gear.

    Troy - Cool man, now I don't have to post them for sale :)
