Pipedreams Demo 930 Full Range Rare $19,000 off retail

For sale is one pair of Pipedreams 930 full range speakers. These are some of the best speakers that money can buy ( please read the review below as this is not just my opinion). These have the latest tweeters and crossovers ( much faster and more transparent than earlier units). They have a high gloss black finish as you can see and use the best parts available down to the WBT signature binding posts. They are fully working, sound amazing and are in excellent cosmetic condition. They are 4 ohm and extremely efficient I am currently running with 50 watt mono blocks and I can not turn past 1/3. This is a very rare find as only a couple paris of the full range units were ever produced ( due to the cost of production) and were priced at $25,000 a pair!!!! Also if you want more information on Pipedreams please search them on youtube. I am only selling due to recent financial problems and I will miss them greatly.

The speakers measure 58 tall x 10 wide x 16 deep and weigh 120 pounds.

If you are a serious buyer I am glad to give you a call and discus the speakers simply send me your number in a private message.

They include factory crates and must be shipped by freight.

Please ask all questions before you bid so I can assure satisfaction.

Stereophile Review:
One of the obvious advantages of using lots of drivers in a line array is the sheer amounts of air lot of drivers can move—big columnar wavefronts with big impact. One of the not so obvious advantages —and the chief reason behind the Pipedream’s incredible redundancy of tweeters and midrange/woofers—is that using lots of drivers makes the job of moving all that air easier for each individual driver.
Consider your average three-way point source loudspeaker. To reach concert-hall sound-pressure levels, each drive has to work its tail off to move its own mass (because the air’s impedance is so low that not as much of the energy comes out as sound). The harder each driver works, the more its cone or diaphragm flexes and potentially distorts, and the more it rings on the rebound
Now, hook two identical in-phase drivers up in parallel to cover the same passband that your single driver was covering, and guess what? Output increases over that passband by 6dB SPL! That’s almost twice the loud-ness for the same level of input (at one-half the electrical impedance). All of which means you can lower the volume knob on your preamp by 6dB, and get the same SPLs you were getting with that single driver. Meanwhile, those two paralleled drivers are working only half as hard as the single one did to put out the same amount of energy. You’ve halved the current flow through their voice coils and halved the excursions of their cones or diaphragms, and that means they will produce considerably less ringing and distortion, even at loud levels, better and more effortlessly track dynamic swings, and reproduce inner details with greater clarity.
Moreover, this is the one of the few speaker systems I’ve heard in my home that “scales”large instruments, like pianos, timps, or contrabasses as realistically as it does smaller ones like guitars, flutes, violins, or voices—that accurately matches an instrument’s acoustical output with its directional characteristics to produce virtual instruments and vocalists that are sized and shaped—and that project their transients—like the real things.
To make this plain, the PipeDreams are the most present-sounding loudspeakers—in the sense of making instruments and instrumentalists sound as if they are there, present in the room with you—I’ve yet heard.
You’d simply have to hear—and I hope that you do—a well recorded solo voice like Guitar Gabriel singing “Keys To The Highway” or an infectiously good pop mix like Bonnie Raitt’s “Something To Talk About” on Luck of the Draw [DCC/Capitol], or a great orchestral recording like the Leinsdorf Bartok Concerto for Orchestra [BMG] to hear how present—how life-like—a stereo system can get. Once again, we are talking about the difference between loudspeakers that give you a scaled-down (in every sense) analog of musicians—toy bands—and something that really does move you a step or two closer to the physical size, acoustical power, and presence of real musicians playing in your room.
The second of the PipeDreams’ great virtues—and the one that most audiophile hearts will skip a beat to—is their phenomenal soundfield. HP has already tipped the hand on this, in his earlier discussion of the PipeDreams’ prototype. What we have here is a speaker that simply redefines the stereo stage. You wouldn’t think that a system that consists of 136 drivers, two very large boxes and subs could “disappear” as completely as a pair of two-way stand-mounted minis can, and yet that PipeDreams do that very thing.
I don’t know that I can impress on you strongly enough how wide and deep and tall and open, how subtly layered and impressively three-dimensional the PipDream’s soundfield is. I’ve never heard anything remotely like it in my home—and I’ve listened to some pretty darned good loudspeakers. We are talking here about a loudspeaker system that breaks down that “fourth wall” between you and the music-makers. Indeed, the PipeDreams blow out all the walls in your listening room.
You want to hear imaging outside boundaries of the speaker enclosures? You want that wall at the back of your room to disappear? These speakers don’t carve an ambient rectangle out of the acoustic of your listening room—they give you a whole new room. Or, should I say, new rooms, for whatever the size or acoustic of the recording venue, that’s the size and acoustic you get. These things scale acoustics, in much the same way that they scale instrumental dynamics. Indeed the PipeDreams are the cheapest room-remodeling program I’ve ever come across.
Let me close with this thought: Music is never just sound. It is a sensation felt as well as heard—felt as a brush or a wave or a pulse of rhythmically charged air, felt in our bodies. It is by means of synaesthetic sensation, physical and aural, that music first affects us, generating that thrilling rush of endorphins that raises Goosebumps—that starts feet tapping and hips swaying and voices singing along. Better than any loudspeaker I’ve yet heard, the PipeDreams get this first step right. Jonathan Valin/Stereophile
