EXPIRED For Sale JBL DD67000 Project Everest (Official Australian Delivered) Floorstanding Loudspeakers

Further Information

As they say, nothing is forever. My audiophile journey was hard and fast, moving up many rungs of the ladder fast. I found what I was looking for and in my quest I have not yet heard something better. Alas, I've scratched that itch, and life circumstances change. We're about to embark on the next chapter of our journey as a family and the Everests don't look to feature in our anticipated style of living.

It's time to pass them on. They are the only pair of current model DD67000 to be officially delivered and sold into Australia via Harman. 

No warranty is implied outside of anything that may still be valid - but know that this level of product is supported like no other. Think of it like buying an Aston Martin or Bugatti. However the current Australian distributor is aware of my intentions to sell them and knows the history of them (they were personally delivered by the distributor in a truck who drove down from Sydney to set them up). I suspect there would be no issues. I thought I had an issue at one point, and with one phone call a service tech from Melbourne was despatched within 48 hours (JLS), and it turned out to be a loose nut on the back of the speaker terminal plate!

These are factory Rosewood finish, and I had them professionally wrapped with high-end 3M automotive grade vinyl in a Porsche silver/grey metallic vinyl. It is 100% reversible - but personally I think they look much classier in this finish myself. 

I still have the original packaging/cartons, and all literature that was supplied with them in my local storage unit. It would be a task to organise with a genuine buyer, between retrieving the cartons, repacking, and moving them to go to their new owner. I would suggest the involvement of a professional removalist, but happy to have these discussions with a genuine buyer.

They will also be supplied with a complete set of Isoacoustics Titan isolation feet, along with custom made adaptors to suit the Everests. From memory, it was around $5,000 worth at retail price at the time.

I understand the wait time for a new pair of Everests has always been around 12 months, but heard recently it has blown out to 18 months now.

They present "As New", but I have marked them as Excellent according to StereoNET's own condition guidelines.

I took delivery towards the end of COVID lockdowns. They have been lovingly used, but not abused. Happy to answer any further questions.

Audition is technically possible, but note they are running as part of an integrated AV system now, powered by Mark Levinson ML50 Limited Edition mono amplifiers which will also be available for sale.
