Item: Quad S5 floorstanders
Location: Melbourne inner west
Price: $2600
Item Condition: like new
Reason for selling: renovations 
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, 
Extra Info:

 

I am not sure I actually want to get rid of these but I am about to start renovations on the house so they are about to go back into their boxes and when I finish the renos and my wife has her way we might have a full width (wall to wall) entertainment unit that wont allow floorstanders so I will have to go the bookshelf/Sub route

 

$4000k+ retail speaker 6 months old with original boxes 

 

only the first 2 pics are mine, not going to move them for more ATM

 

yes, the spikes work better straight on the carpet, but my concrete floor is so out of wack I need to get longer spikes

Just to add to your quad squad?

Gosh! Aren't they lovely RT. I'd absolutely love a set of these. You and I know what that Quad sound is and this pair with the ribbon...

I listened to a pair with a SNA member one year down in Bleak City with a front end consisting of Luxman SS amp/Rega8 TT/Dyna 75 mk3 phono and it was a lovely sound with a fair bit of synergy happening.

 

Absolute steal at this price.

The Handbrake is down there with you RT for the next 4 days, swanning around the restaurants and vineyards. If you run in to her could you put in a good word for me viz-a-viz these Quads? You'll recognise her by the field of energy emanating out like a force field that burns nearly everything in it's path if it's associated with our hobby.

 

@Hytram  Absolute stonking bargain. Ridiculous price and I don't really care whether you paid full RRP or got a great deal way less than that, these are a wonderful speaker and at your price these probably wouldn't last long in the For Sale thread.

Original boxes mean they are a breeze to send interstate and you'd be looking at $100 or a bit better to go out of Bleak City. What is their packed weight btw?

I shall see if you good partner is on my astral radar and I shall do my best to formulate the idea , ( in her mind ) that the pursuit of audio re-production is a Yin/Yang concept.

 

I will allude to the fact that a Yang reaction is not the optimal decision and that her own ( and your ) best interests would be served by her forbearance in you purchasing these Quads due to the inevitable (positive ) growth of your inner harmony and your eventual versimilitude in understanding the gestalt of your co-existence

thanks for the kind words

 

the website says 27.1kg each, so I would say 30Kg each would be their packed weight
