The craftsmanship involved in building speakers of this quality harkens back to the olden days with hand selected components with tight tolerances for the electronic components so that they are consistent with their reference prototypes. The Symphony Edition adds an even greater amount of nuance and musicality. The sound of this speaker is musical, detailed, warm and dynamic for hours of fatigue free listening. Retail price of this speaker is $3295. Speakers were purchased new in December 2020. Minor scratch on the bottom of one speaker. Comes with original box and documentation. Stand NOT INCLUDED. Pickup from Glebe NSW 2037 only. Haydn’s music is known for its lyricism, from which vibrant tonal colors and brilliant harmonic structures are drawn out of deceptively simple arrangements. Similarly, the Haydn Grand Symphony Edition’s deceptively simple driver complement of our patented 6” X3P Spidercone mid-bass driver and refined 1” triple stackedsilk-dome tweeter centers around the groundbreaking airflow control wedge bass reflex port that serves to virtually eliminate port noise, allows for increased placement flexibility, and provides an extraordinarily compact driver configuration by positioning the tweeter on the front of the wedge. A dedicated linear crossover layout, with the copper circuit paths arranged in the direction of electron flow, takes into account the potential for sympathetic and parasitic interactions among crossover components that may inject unwanted noise and distortions while allowing for more direct and efficient transfer of signal to the drivers which leads to a greater level of detail and purity. This combination of elements, housed in a beautifully compact cabinet, permits equally effective and effortless placement in either bookshelves or on speaker stands. A compact 2-way monitor, Haydn Grand Symphony Edition features exceptional imaging, resolution and linearity, challenging the performance of the finest floor standers.

Additionally they are beautifully made from the hand lacquered piano gloss black to the binding posts and the hand numbered units. You don’t see that much these days especially at this price. 1
