Title: Harbeth C7ES-3 35th Anniversary Speakers
Post by: Plink on November 29, 2014, 07:33:08 PM
There are no flaws that I can see.  These speakers come with Foundation stands that are built specifically for this speaker.

The speakers have the Rosewood finish.  Boxes for the speakers and stands are also included.

I will sell for $2,350.  The speakers ($3,850) plus stands ($500) retail for $4,350 in total. 

Pics to come but they are in fine condition. No worries here.  I have sold two pairs of speakers to forum members (Altec Model 19s and Tekton Lore).  I expect whoever ends up with these will be very happy.   :)

That is an awesome deal especially since the current msrp for the rosewood option is now $4250.00, not including stands. If I didn't already have a pair............

I am very sorry...got my years mixed up.  These are Harbeth 30th Anniversary, not 35th Anniversary.  For any interested parties, I will remind that these are 30th Anniversary speakers.  Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Stephen and thanks rgpit for your kind words.  They are indeed excellent speakers...nearly perfect on tone for that matter.  As they are the 30th Anniversary edition, I would not compare this price to the very latest but to the price as new that I posted ($3,850). 

As such, I will drop my price to $2,200.  This is the lowest price I have seen on the internet for these speakers and the stands are, of course, included.

Cheers,

Paul

Hey Bill!     Thanks for the kind words and endorsement.  Nice to hear from you and glad to hear things are going well.  You're welcome to have a listen to the Dynaco if it is under consideration.  I'll get the Quads warmed up for it.     8)

Hi schwarcw, yes they are nice speakers.  I always thought they did well with tone (voices and instruments) and a big soundstage.  I have a fair bit of room behind the speakers in my setup and this allows for an extremely deep soundstage.  Thanks for the input.

Paul

Would you be interested in selling the stands separately ?

Post by: Plink on December 06, 2014, 11:58:43 AM
Hi YSRACER, I wouldn't be interested in selling separately unless I found a buyer who only needed the speakers.

OK, thanks.  Please let me know if that occurs, or, you change your mind.

Going to drop the price to $2,000 for a while.  This is including the $500 stands.

Just to clarify again...these are 30th anniversary, not 35th.  Apologies for the confusion.

Now that the holidays are over and I can focus on important things such as good audio, I am going to correct a great oversight and report to anyone viewing this thread that I bought these Harbeths from Paul and could not be any more thrilled with them (the published reviews are pretty much spot-on).  Paul is a super nice guy and was very generous with his time...and the speakers were in MINT condition. 

Thank you again, Paul.
