I am the second owner, I bought these about 1 year ago. They are in very good condition and I will rate them as an 8 to be very conservative. If I was not going by Audiogon's strict grading guidelines that sometimes does not match the actual physical condition, I would say these are closer to a 9.5. For instance, I could not find a single flaw on the maple wood finish. But, there are some tiny chips on the black metal base that are invisible from more than two feet away. Two of the 1/16" chips are only visible if you are laying on the floor right in front of the speakers. They are very nice looking speakers that appear flawless from three feet away. If you are seriously interested, I can email more pics. They were not broken in when I acquired them but they are broken in now and I have put around 700 hours on them. They sound amazing. The easiest way I can describe them is that they sound accurate, resolving, with a balanced frequency range from top to bottom. My high definition recordings sound so sweet, so much more detail than redbook CDs. Its amazing how much more music there is and the big difference is apparent to any novice as well. My 12 year old loves the Disney soundtracks through my system "because the music sounds so big and intensely emotional." A $20,000 home theatre system does not come close to portraying the same intensity that these two speakers exude.

I am only selling because my wife doesn't like how big they and she also prefers a darker, maybe exotic, wood grain finish to match all of the other furnishings. Plus, I like to try out new gear all of the time and I am getting that itch again. I have owned six different speakers in the last 10 years.

I am offering a home audition for any member with a well established history. Also, there are several reviews online that describe the details of these speakers much better than I can.

I have the spikes and speaker covers that are not pictured and they are both in pristine condition. Unfortunately, I do not have any boxes or crates so local purchase is preferred but I am willing to ship via freight if buyer agrees to pay all crating, shipping and insurance fees. It will be very expensive because they are 5'6" tall and weigh over 200 pounds each. I will ship to customers with a confirmed paypal address and adequate feedback history. I can also help load them out for local buyers. Buyer is also responsible for 3% Paypal fees if used. I will also accept a cashiers check or cash or wire transfer.

I am also open to trades for speakers of similar value (I'm thinking Wilson, Magico, Revel, Focal, etc., etc.,). But trades must be local so we can demo each others speakers to make sure we are both happy.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE OFFERS. I DO KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER PAIR FOR SALE HERE FOR $7,000 BUT THOSE ARE PRICED WELL BELOW BLUE BOOK VALUE BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUAL BLACK OAK FINISH. PEOPLE LOOKING FOR HIGH END SPEAKERS DO NOT WANT OAK PAINTED BLACK. THAT IS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE ON A $500 SPEAKER AND IT MUST HAVE BEEN A SPECIAL REQUEST BECAUSE IT IS NOT OFFERED ON PBNs WEBSITE. THOSE SPEAKERS ARE UUUUUUGLY. I KNOW THIS IS BAD FORM BUT I HAVE TO ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. IN MY HONEST OPINION, THE BEAUTIFUL WOOD GRAIN DETAIL OF THESE MAPLE CABINETS IS JUST STUNNING. JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. BECAUSE I HAVE TO COMPETE WITH THE OTHER XPS-SIGs CURRENTLY LISTED, I HAVE DROPPED THE PRICE BELOW BLUE BOOK VALUE. THE AVERAGE PRIVATE PARTY SALE PRICE FOR THESE IS LISTED AT $9,904.88 ON THE AUDIOGON BLUE BOOK. ALL OFFERS WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
