Item: Focal Aria 948 Floorstanding Speakers Location: Len Wallis Audio, HQ Price: $3500 Item Condition: Excellent Secondhand Condition Payment Method: Credit Cards, Cash, Paypal, Bank Transfer, ZipPay Extra Info: Simply stunning, just traded Focal Aria 948 Floorstanders in High Gloss Black. These speakers are the current model and brand new retail for $6000! Shipping: Anywhere in the land of OZ, POA Focal say: The Aria 948 loudspeaker symbolises the return of the 'true' acoustic loudspeaker. A new type of 3-way loudspeaker with 81/4’’ (21cm) speaker drivers effortlessly providing intense and controlled bass. The intention was a return to the very essence of acoustics for those who are passionate about music. 'Flax' cones are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass. The result is a more homogeneous sound, improved dynamics. Photos:

Item: Focal Aria 906 Bookshelf Speakers - Gloss Black Location: Sydney (NW / Hills District) Price: $1,000 Item Condition: Excellent As New (9.5/10) Reason for selling: Upgraded Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: These speakers were used as my rear speakers in a 5.1 setup for about 12 months and were powered by an Elektra HD 7-Channel Amplifier. They are in immaculate condition and the only reason I have not given them a 10 is because there is a slight mark on one of the speakers (4th photo - right hand side, half way down as you look at it) Speakers are packaged in the original boxes with tweeter covers and ready to go. Buyer to pay postage. Only selling as I have upgraded rear speakers to match front stage. Pictures:

Speakers in mint condition with original boxes and packaging. Reluctant sale, but with a new life phase and hobby, I hate to see such quality sitting dormant. i have a pair of 3m Tellurium Q Black speaker cables which happy to throw into the deal too. Happy for the speakers to be auctioned, but you will need to bring your own amp.

Further information: This unit was bought as a package during October last year with Rega P8 from West Coast Hi-Fi. I have not used it at all, as I am having my Accession M. I have confirmation email from Synergy Audio that it is warranted with 3 years parts and labour warranty. Since then, I was busy with shifting house and now that I have settled down, it is time for it to be on sale. The only short-for is that I have thrown away the box, so a generic carton box will be used and rest assure that it will be properly done. Write out from Rega website: The Aria is an "all analogue amplifier" with no digital control circuitry. The fully aluminium case screens the internal circuit from any stray RFI signals. The designers have avoided including any superfluous gadgets as they obstruct the signal path and degrade the sound quality. It incorporates many innovative design ideas including a self-adjusting servo control to keep the MC input circuit at its optimum, compensating for any variations in ambient or operating temperature. Both stages have their own separate input sockets and input pre-amplifier circuitry. This enabled us to design bespoke input circuitry for each cartridge type without compromise. Signal switching is performed at high level and low impedance (via relays) ensuring there is no degradation of the signal. MC Stage Design & Features The MC input uses parallel connected, low noise FET's (Field Effect Transistor's) configured as a compound pair. The use of FET transistors ensures there is no bias current flowing in the cartridge coil so as not to upset the delicate magnetic geometry of the cartridge. The MC input has the provision for selecting resistive input loading of 70ohms to 400ohms and capacitive loading of 1000pF to 4200pF. The input sensitivity can be changed by 6dB via the back panel. MM Stage design & features The MM input uses low noise, bipolar input transistors also configured as a compound pair. There are two separate power supplies for each channel and further sub-power supplies for each of the low noise input circuits. Nichicon FG electrolytic capacitors have been used in critical positions throughout the power supplies. Polypropylene capacitors have been used in the signal path and equalization networks. Discrete circuitry is used throughout the signal path ensuring full control of the circuit design.
