For sale is a wonderful pair of Cardersound Tybone Fostex 126En full-range horn speakers, each housed in a furniture quality maple case with clear lacquer finish.  Each measures 72 inches tall X 18" deep X 7" wide, weighing 65 pounds.  Stand rails with spikes are included.  Towers and Sub are in excellent condition, and I can audition them in my home for you.

From the Cardersound Catalog, 2008:

CarderSound cabinets are crafted on the Eastern Seaboard entirely from natural solid woods and maple wood-plys. All panels are CNC machined to exacting tolerances before being hand assembled and finished by artisans with three coats of natural clear lacquer. Construction and finish are to the standard of fine furniture.

No crossover, with all their attendant problems, in the all important midrange. Rapid response to musical transients due to the very powerful motor & low inductance of the drivers. Highly precise imaging and ’see-though’ clarity are the traits a listener will notice first. The pair-matched drivers used in CarderSound loudspeaker systems are the highly developed Planet10 range of custom 4 1/2in units from Canada, featuring hand-painted EnABL surface-wave diffraction blocks.

Why horns? Efficiency. A horn allows a far better impedance match of driver diaphragm to the air than any other form of loudspeaker enclosure. All CarderSound enclosures employ conical expansion. The simplest of all horn profiles, a cone expands in a linear fashion (thus possessing no flare rate), and distortion is intrinsically low. A very clean sound, devoid of the hollow colorations that plague many other designs, is the result

Why the over-under mouth configuration employed by many of our speakers? A larger mouth area, and sense of height, depth and scale to the soundstage beyond that of a single-mouth design of equivalent footprint. The folding scheme and internal layout of all CarderSound cabinets are specifically designed to assist in filtering off unwanted mid-range frequencies in the horn, thus improving imaging. It also maximizes the use of the cabinet volume: CarderSound Horns have no voids anywhere in their design, this efficient use of space bringing obvious sonic and environmental benefits

Binding posts are SQ Products high-quality 5-way binding posts.
Internal wire is propriety L.A.T. International ’Silverfuse.’ We have found this wire to extract every last bit of detail while at the same time providing a very smooth presentation that is soft on the ears.

Included are a matching Cardersound Morgan dual cone subwoofer and Dayton 150 watt amplifier with line level and speaker inputs/outputs, both in excellent condition.

Please read ""Making of an Audio Crackhead" in the Audiogon review section for some colorful insight into the speaker; this package, I believe, retailed for over $4,500.  I traded an amplifier for the package, as I was intrigued with the back-loaded-horn design.  I was definitely not disappointed with the clarity and definition of the sound, and too was impressed with the tightness of the mids and bass.

So, I offer this package, pickup only, for someone who, I think, desires something a little different without sacrificing definition, soundstage, and precision.  I would consider a trade - especially for something such as a Sony XA5400ES SACD Player, modded OPPO 105, other possible speakers, or ?? 

Please note: Pick-up ONLY, no shipping due to size.  Buyer to pay 3% Paypal please.
