Verity Audio Leonore, excellent condition, REDUCED PRICE

I
am selling my beautiful looking and sounding Verity Audio Leonore speakers due to divorce.  Asking price has been reduced to $6,350 OBO.  I am the original owner of these speakers and they are the current model which lists for $16,000 new.  I bought them
from a local dealer February 2014.  They
are finished in Piano Black lacquer and are in excellent condition.  The Leonore 
was runner up for Stereophile 2010 Product of the Year.

The
Leonore is a full-range, floor-standing speaker with has a rated sensitivity of
93dB and nominal impedence of 8ohms so it is very easy to drive.  I have used 30w class A solid state and 8w
tube amps, both with excellent results. 
This latest model  utilizes a new
SB Acoustics 1" ring-dome tweeter, a 5" polypropylene midrange
driver, and two 6.5" SEAS woofers. 

According
to Sam Tellig's review, "...tight, taught, tunefull based definition,
crisp, clear, extended treble, and fantastic soundstaging and imaging
abilities". 

At
CES 2010 the room with the Verity Leonore and Nagra electronics was rated
"Best of Show".  In that show
report it was stated "..the soundstage was filled with light and air, and
vocals were firmly rooted in the middle of it all.  There was treble and bass authority.  the interplay between the space portrayed and
the musicians that occupied it having an uncanny realism...". See the Verity Audio web site for more information and a video on the design of the Leonore.

 I
have the original fabric covers and padded shipping boxes, and each speaker
weighs 75 lbs.
