kelossus Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) tem: Lenard Audio Sarabandes - Active 4-way Floorstanders Location: Ipswich QLD Price: $1500 FIRM Item Condition: Pretty good Reason for selling: Just not doing it for me Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Final price drop. Absolutely firm on this price so no offers please. If I can't sell them I will repurpose them as retro looking vending machines, a coke can perfectly fits in front port. Bought these to give active speakers a go and a somewhat more sensible sized speaker for my room. In the end these aren't the speakers for me and I feel I am wasting my already acquired amplification using these. From what I understand these are an earlier model Sarabande using Vifa and Peerless drivers along with a custom ribbon tweeter. These are 4-ways with two 12inch cavity loaded bass drivers in each cabinet. Each driver has its own gain control so you can dial them to your tastes. A somewhat tedious but rewarding feature for those who love to tweak. I did have an issue with the internal plate amps buzzing through the tweeter but when I swapped out to one of my Krell preamps the noise disappeared, unsure what was the go but it didn't like my first preamp. These have a slight thump when turning off and on but I have been assured this is normal. Condition wise they have a few minor marks but they hide it pretty well given they are a satin black. One little scuff of note where the black paint has come off which is viewable in pictures. The cabling is a bit chaotic in the photos as I had to move everything around to get my power cables to reach each speaker, apologies for the mess. These are a little bigger than the current model Sarabande's at 121cm x 41cm and weight about 35 kg's. I can post these to NSW or VIC for an extra $200 or $250. I will consider a trade for a Dac of equivalent value. Photos: Edited January 14, 2020 by kelossus 1

Darren69 Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Love the tone control descriptions. Very nice.
audiohifiaudio Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 that's a lot of speaker for $1500. I would love to hear them if in Queensland.

Time for a change of scenery? My wife wants us to, or even to Cairns. But it is nice and cool here in Perth. Last few years we only had couple of weeks of really hot weather a year. 2
