These speakers are in near mint condition with a lovely unblemished, perfectly matched cherry finish. Both grills are perfect. They come with the original packaging, manual, spikes and terminal bars. The sound of these speakers is something quite amazing. I powered them with an Exposure Dual IV Regulated power amp and an Exposure XXI pre amp. I understand that Spendors are an excellent match for Naim gear as well , and of course any other good hifi gear manufacturer. If you like separation in the layers of music, massive soundstage, clarity in the mid range, lovely sweet treble and deep tight bass, try these S9e's. Seeing that I have the original packaging shipping by courier wouldn't be out of the question - expensive though. I could deliver for a negotiated price within say a 60 mile radius of Romford, Essex (or even further afield to meet half way!). Just to note that some retailers are still selling these for £3500. Please see the following taken from the Spendor website re. the S9e's Hifi Choice magazine - August 2004. [COLOR="DarkRed"]"It's sense of bass grip and revealing, natural midrange are what makes the S9e special"[/COLOR] HiFi News magazine - April 2006. [COLOR="DarkRed"]"The S9e turned in a fine set of measured and listening results. It is clearly a well engineered loudspeaker with carefully judged frequency balance, extended bass and smooth well controlled treble. It is the sum of all parts that works so well... ...one of a rare breed"[/COLOR] Hifi World magazine - August 2007. [COLOR="DarkRed"]"The Spendor S9e delivered comprehensively musical performances, with superbly tuneful and extended bass, whilst also being rhythmically taut and tonally accurate" [/COLOR] I am selling these speakers for £1650 or near offers.. Please contact me for photos if required. Thanks.
