I bought these speakers new in 2011 and they are barely broken in. The only reason I am selling them is that I am unable to use them. I do not have a music room (real estate price in the Bay Area!) of my own and these days I am never alone at home to be able to use them to their full potential. They are in mint/as new condition except for one tiny little dent on the back of one of the speaker which you can see on the last picture (It does not go through the finish). They come with the original crate, manual, spikes and even the polish bottle and polish cloth that Avalon Acoustic included. I am using Audioquest cables that are also available.
I would prefer for someone in the Bay Area to be able to give a full life to these speakers but I am willing to ship. I have the original crate so they will be perfectly protected during shipment. I have not had time to research the cost. Buyer will pay the actual price for shipping (I have never added bogus handling fees to anything I sold on line in the past 20 years).
