Hey guys,
Trying to continue trimming down my gear that is not being utilized so next on the block are these great little bookies. These were originally packaged with Denon microsystems (can't remember the model number) and a really nice little speaker. I know Mark (dorokiusa) and Russ are both fans of this little speak (in fact I just found a thread from a few weeks ago where Mark sold a pair to Russ on here....that is actually what made me remember that I had these in the closet. Great-sounding little speaker ...nice and laid-back tweet with surprising bass response out of the 4 1/2" woof.
So anyhow, these are in about 8/10 shape...finish is good everywhere but on the bottoms, both of which have a little marking from placement; there is a tiny edge bump on the rear of one. One grille is perfect, the other has a corner wear-through. I had to repair the grille peg right under that wear-through...I actually knocked this speaker off a shelf from a height of about 2 feet (onto fluffy carpet, not concrete or anything) when I snagged the wire while doing something or other...genius that I am. No other damage though...and it really is pretty minimal. I actually prefer this speaker naked anyhow cause they look cool, as you can see from the pictures. Even my wife pronounced them "adorable."
Will ship in the original box/packing material. Since Mark did $85 shipped I'll do $65 shipped on mine due to the one grille boo-boo.
