surplusFurther Information
Back when I was involved in retail, over ten years ago, these premium Focal Cobalt 816 speakers retailed for the price as indicated above. They look great, and even have a window in the back to show the quality crossovers.
These ones are dirt cheap as they came to me without the two woofers, and I had to find some ok replacements! What I was lucky enough to find amongst my DIY stocks look the part and work well enough, but in due course you might find some original drivers which would bring them up to the very high quality sound that they are capable of. The replacements are less efficient than the originals, so I added a plug-in resister to balance the tweeter, which at first was too loud. Easily reversed when and if you locate some original drivers.
for the time being, these deliver lovely detailed sound - I always thought the original new ones in the shop could do with a sub, and that's still the case. The next model up, the Cobalt 820, had plenty of bass as it came.
I have no cartons for these, but perhaps you have a friend who can collect and pack for you, or transport for you by car. I can deliver in the Hills/Norwest or close by at no charge.
