I know they are not vintage but is there any interest in Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus or Axiom EP500?

The SF speakers are like new and have the walnut sides.

The Axiom is in good shape but I nicked the black veneer when looking inside the back.

I have interest... but no money :'(
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

What sort of price are you looking at for the Sonus Faber's?  Are they a matched set (serial #'s)?
When I die I hope my wife doesn't sell my stuff for what I told her I paid for it.

The S/N on both is 5018.

I'm not sure what they are worth in today's market. I'd be really happy if I got $2500.

I have the covers and original boxes.

I'm in Ed's boat. Good luck though!

They sound good but not rock-n-roll speakers.

I know what you mean.  My rock speakers are Infinity Kapppas, but I seem to listen to less LOUD rock than I use to.  Mostly I listen to KLH 9's.

I looked up the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus and they look pretty cool.  They are out of my price range.  Good luck with your sale.
Got Carver?

They are ESS Classics.  I would let them go to for the right offer.
