Extra Info: I bought these speakers in 1989. They served me very well for 7 years before going into storage. They came out of storage in 2004 but became a 2nd set that were basically not used.
I have a more "modern" pair of speakers now even though these shade them in treble and midrange. I'm very attached to them, however they are not being used and I would be interested in someone making better use of them than me.
Condition:
Speakers:
Generally I am very good with hi-fi equipment (no smoking, no pets, no kids touching them etc). One speaker has no flaws, the other had a scrape at one stage on one side/back. Anyone who is good with cabinetry can easily touch it up again - the drivers, tweeters and front sections are fine. The speaker grilles are both in good condition from a fabric perspective, and both have all their binding posts intact, however both are missing the B&W badge that sat on the front - presumably easy to source.
Stands
One marble base broke at one stage, so I replaced it with a similar piece, although it is slightly thicker than the other side. I sourced longer screws to make up for it. Almost impossible to notice, but if you know what to look for, you would see it.
Comment on Price:
I don't know what these are worth so am having a stab at a price but unless the door gets bashed down, you could quite easily try me out with an offer.
