edited April 2010 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Decided to remodel my living room, so I just don't have room for these anymore.
I am the 3rd owner of the wonderful speakers. They are truly gorgeous. I bought them from
George Daniel about a year ago. I have all the original receipts from purchase as well as the factory
upgrades. I also have a couple of extra woofers I bought from a forum member. I will be
happy to throw them in.

These would have to be local pick up of course.I am located south of Atlanta, Ga. Near
Atlanta Motor Speedway.
I would hate to try to ship them.
I Would consider meeting someone a couple of hours down the road.
Please pm me if you have any questions.

I will try to get some better pics if needed.
$800.00 OBO.... I may consider partial trades.

    No point in soiling another pair, so don't change your shorts just quite yet. Craters and Freighters......probably run in the $350 to $400 range to crate and ship. Dirt cheap if you ask me.

    I had been looking for a pair of speakers for the kitchen but when I saw these I started to go deeper down the rabbit hole, since your not to far away. That of course changed when I showed them to my wife who said "what do you need those for?" followed by "where would you put them?:(
    Bye the way for clarification are you saying the amps are included in the price?

    I believe the C-9 is the pre-amp. If I am wrong, put me in line:D I could definately get gas money together for those amps and speakers at $800! Still and awsome deal with a pre and speakers tho:)

    Oops :o:o Sorry still have much to learn :confused::confused: I didn't know the C-9 was a pre amp. So I take it then the silver 7's are the amp?: And would you need both or could I use an AVR with preouts as the preamp and then get another amp to drive the speakers?

    If I'm not mistaken...the C-9 is NOT a preamp, but rather something added to the sound system that incorporates Sonic Holography. I believe you would still need an amp and preamp to run the speakers. If I'm wrong, just throw insults my way via PM. (Crossing fingers).

    I'm glad I'm retaining at least SOME of my conversations from George. A while back, I almost bought a C-9 thinking it was a C-19...I couldn't figure out why it was so damn cheap.

    To the poster. Out of curiosity...my parents live in Bern NC. What is the distance between where you are and central/eastern NC. I won't get there until the summer, and I'm sure these will sell before then, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

    C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator. Considered by many to be the BEST form of Sonic Holography ever developed by Bob Carver--more "adjustable" than many other versions. Goes in Tape Loop or between preamp & amp. They currently sell for anywhere from $35 to $100.

    Waaa,, guys the Amazings,,C-9 and a couple of spare midwoof's are included in his asking price--which is a heck of a deal,,dunno if he mentioned it,,but he also upgraded the wiring in both speakers.
