I'm selling off my Monitor 10s. A models, Peerless tweets, original stands, original manuals. Manuals are the original owners manual and original stand assembly manual.
I had the original boxes and bags but they're basically dust and fell apart just touching them. I think I've still got parts of them on the closet floor.
New in 80 I believe. I bought these from the original owner and they've been played only on 3020 NAD integrated using the Pre, and a Hafler DH200 with good Monster cables and IC's.
Condition is a 9/10+ if you like the #s game.
Back edge top on both speakers is just starting to show some wrinkling. You have to look hard to see it and you can barely feel it running your finger over the edge.
All corners and edges intact and sharp. No scratches, dings, etc, at this time. I sold the SDA 2As and put the 10'A's out to listen to for a while. My son runs through here constantly and I'm afraid they'll get knocked off the stands.
All drivers are original as are the fuses. Tags still on the crossovers.
I didn't clean these up for pics. You can tell they still have a light coating of "protective dust" on them.
Grills and frames near flawless. I can't see anything wrong anywhere on them. Logo's intact.
"Push in" test on the PRs hold very well. All drivers are working smooth, clear, and precise. NO issues at all. I am going to pull the drivers today and J-B weld the structures to keep them from future slipping.
I'm in Indianapolis and would prefer pick up. If you want them shipped I will insist on a lot of packaging materials. I'll basically double box them with 200 lb corner protectors AFTER bagging, sealing, and insulating with styrofoam. It won't be cheap. Probably about $20 for each speaker in materials. I won't ship any other way. Contact me for more pics. I'll send as many as you want. Serious only please.
I've got WAY too many speakers and I absolutely have to move some out to make room for XMas tree and just some room to live in. My audio addiction has taken over the apartment.
I don't check my messages as much as I should but I'll try to do a better job. I don't get notifications from the forum for some reason.
If they don't sell quick here they'll have to go on the 'net'. I have to make room. No other reason for selling these.
Thanks,
Harry

    I'll consider trades also but the barter goods have to be small in size.
    Thank you,

    Those are exactly like mine. Very nice speakers. Somebody needs to jump on these.
    It would be hard to get a better set of speakers for the price.

    Thanks, they are nice and a very good sounding speaker.
    I'll send them to Ebay and Craigslist this afternoon if I don't get any solid bites here. I've got to put up the Xmas tree this weekend and get out the decorations too. I just need the room desperately.
    These are very nice. From the bottom of the stands up it's going to be hard to find a nicer pair.
    I'll be putting up a bunch of speakers and nice audio gear to make some room.
    Thanks again,
    Harry

    Don't see you on eBay yet, but you have competition. 2 sets of 10s and one set of 10Bs presently listed. Good luck.

    Possibly. I don't really need speakers but it sounds like they're smaller than what I have laying around here.
    give me a shout.

    Will do! I'll PM you some pics today of them, i think i have them hosted somewheres.... They're definitely smaller, but larger than your average bookshelf. About the same width and depth as my Titans, but about 8 inches taller.

    I saw these this afternoon. The discription is very accurate and if anything they looked better to me than the discription and they sound as good or better than they look!

    Price dropped to $150. Need the room as I've started clearing out an area for the Xmas tree. Fast pick up needed. I do NOT have the room to store.
    Thanks,
