Further Information

 

I had auditioned many wonderful loudspeakers within $20K-$30K range in the past, including Focal, Thiel, B&W etc. Tannoy Kensington Prestige was a winner. I enjoyed Kensington tremendously and I was pleased that my choice was validated by Patrick Turner, acclaimed audio designer from ACT who named Kensington "the best sounding loudspeakers I ever had in my workshop".

 

Then auditioned Osborn Epitomes Elite. They left me speechless. In direct comparison, my Tannoy Kensington Prestige sounded unimpressive. I bought Epitomes. Few years later, I auditioned Osborn Grand Monuments Elite. And again, in direct comparison, my beloved Epitomes sounded unimpressive and I bought Monuments.

 

Now I am selling Osborn Grand Monuments.

 

These are truly end-game speakers.

 

Unlike most of the very top of high-end speakers, Grand Monuments are combining something that is almost impossible to combine: extraordinary detail AND pleasant musicality.

 

Monuments drivers (they are the latest and best ever Osborn's Monuments drivers):

Mid-range and woofer - best of Scan-Speak, Denmark

Tweeter - best of Seas, Norway

 

Drivers alone cost $4000 which is rare for speakers in this price range because makers prefer to buy cheap. Drivers photos/details available upon request.

 

Speakers are in mint condition (9.5 out of 10).

 

Original spikes, manual and receipt are included.

 

Coming from smoke, pets and small children free home.

 

Usually, I listened at low volume, rarely - at moderate volume, never - at high volume. I think, that matters (for speakers).

 

Stunning special order finish - Antique Brown in Piano Gloss, which can compete with Grand Piano finish.

 

Only 1 speaker is pictured, but both speakers are identical and in mint condition - so hard to move 170kg speaker.

 

Pick-up only in Melbourne (Frankston).
