Here is your chance to pick up a pair of terrific ACI Emerald XL mini-monitors in the high gloss piano black $450+shipping. As much as I’ve enjoyed my 18 months with them, as a reviewer I need to move on. Top to bottom coherence is outstanding, the top and midrange is wide open and downright magical at $800 new. Both my review and Jeff Dorgay’s in TONEAudio match up with what customers experienced. The speakers are an easy 9/10 on the Audiogon scale and come in their original double box. Shipping measurements are 18x16x13, weight 27 lbs. Shipping from 97116. Please PM with questions. Payment via Paypal.
