This is a pair of Nola's Metro Grand  Reference II speakers in excellent condition.  The only minor flaw is that there is a slight scratch in the bottom isolation base on the back right speaker that can't even be seen (see pics).  The rest of the pair are truly in mint condition.  CHECK MY FEEDBACK!!

These speakers have received rave reviews in the trade magazines  including The Absolute Sound, where it received an "Editor's Choice" Award.  Jim Hannon of TAS in the July/Aug 2012 issue said:

"The Metro Grand's dynamic headroom is startling for a speaker of this size, and it does not sound congested when the action gets complex on big-band jazz recordings like Still Harry After All These Years [Sheffield Lab]. Macrodynamic swings are reproduced without a hint of hardness on good source material, like those outstanding tapes from The Tape Project played back on a great open-reel deck, such as the UHA-Phase Six gem from United Home Audio."

"The sound floats on a cushion of air just like it does in a good symphony hall."

"One of the Metro Grand's most compelling sonic attributes is its uncanny ability to transport you to the recording venue, as well as deeply into the performance. These speakers make you feel "as one" with the performer, as if you've climbed into the artist's skin."

"The Metro Grand offers a tremendous sense of spaciousness, air, and naturalness, and has an uncanny ability to transport you to the concert hall."

"Just as I was about to submit this review, after some unavoidable delays on my part, I learned from HP that he had just been loaned the Metro Grand Reference Series II. Carl confirms that the new version of the Metro Grand in current production has modifications in the crossover and in the Nordost wiring that reportedly improve the speaker's overall tonal balance and coherence, most notably in the midbass. If these enhancements are anything like what I heard on the Baby Grand Series II versus its previous incarnation, they should significantly improve the speaker's midbass balance and clarity, removing the slight added warmth in that area and helping to make the Metro Grand sound more of one cloth. I'm looking forward to auditioning them!"

"This fine loudspeaker, which could be called a baby "Baby Grand Reference," produces beautifully lifelike, dynamic sound, and does a wide range of music very well -- from small-scale works to large ones in all musical genres. It should definitely be on your short-list. Like the Dahlquist DQ-10, Nola's Metro Grand Reference may one day become a classic."
