Title: For Sale Spendor SP3/1P Speakers - Light Cherry
Post by: schwarcw on May 28, 2010, 12:22:36 PM
For sale is a beautiful pair of Spendor SP3/1P speakers.  These speakers are approximately 4  years old, light cherry in color and have been gently used and cared for.  The Spendors have a reputation for outstanding quality and performance.  These are matched units that are living room presentable in the finest of homes.  They can be bi-wired, bi-amped or use single speaker cables with the jumpers (included).   I could not find a mark on the wood.  If you remove the grills and hold them up to the light I can see some small markings on the cloth which are invisible when on the speaker.  The tone and image of these speakers are pure audiophile bliss.  These have matched serial numbers and I have the original shipping boxes, packing and manual.
 
These speakers retail for approximately $1,700, I am offering these to Vintage Hi-Fi for a discount before they go on Audiogon next week.   The price for Vintage Hi-Fi members is $1,075 firm.  I will sell these to Vintage Hi-Fi members in good standing.  I like CASH!

Carl,
I'm sure those are great looking AND sounding speakers!!!

A friend of mine had a set of spendors a while back...  They were very nice imaging and sounding speakers...  He eventually sold them and got a set B&W matrix 801's...   :o

Is the dust cap dented on the right one ?

Yep!

I fixed the small dent.  I must have bumped it while positioning the speakers for that "Kodak Moment".  A little 3M packaging tape pulled it right out.  I need to take a new picture!!
