edited April 2009 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
These are the upgraded originals. They have the crossover and ribbon (60 inch)upgrade,,and maintain the "honeycomb" woofers. I am the second owner,,they are a solid 8 out of 10,,one small ding,barely noticable,it was there when I got em,, and a small ding on the left speaker edge. They also come with the original crossovers,, and all the original owners paperwork. Please excuse the flash/reflection in the pics in the pic's.Pickup only---thanks for looking---Please pm if interested.

Reason for selling,, they are nice, but they really need more room than I have,so for right now, a small set of SDA's will have to suffice.
JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    He's just jealous George. He's always wanted the Blose system. :D

    Merry Christmas, George! I hope you've got the speakers sold soon. I wish we live in the same state or at least nearby state. The speakers I picked up a couple of days ago from a local seller is Platinum series with excellent drivers (subs are in like new shape) and ribbon is flawless but a lot of cosmetics blemishes from moving. I am sure yours would be a lot nicer. The Amazing are really amazing for the price / performance ratio and very natural sounding to me.

    Someone get these Amazing Speakers before George change his mind on these.

    Free Bump for you George!

    I've picked up two pairs of Amazing during this time. :D

    My 1st one is Platinum with 2 pairs of binding posts.

    The latest addition is Platinum MKIV.

    I am keeping both.

    I blew a woofer yesterday; the Infinity Perfect 10.1 apparently has NON-woven wires that run into the cone/dustcap, & one of mine shorted out. :( I guess 800 watts is TOO much for them, huh?!?
