Selling a pair of the beautiful Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Piano speakers (original version).

Only selling as time marches on, and I'm looking to try something different.

I rate the condition on these conservatively a 6/10 ; a few little nicks here and there on the gloss but, for a high-gloss speaker released in 1998, this is to be anticipated, I suppose.  These were one of the most beautiful looking Sonus' ever made, in my humble opinion.  Their finish was lovely.

There are a couple of negatives however that I want to point out as courtesy :

- The panel holding the binding post on one speaker has 'come away' on one of its corners (see picture).  This seems to be a problem with this model as I saw another sale online of these where someone had literally sticky-taped both panels down around the speaker, as they had detached entirely from the speakers!  Because these face my wall this hasn't bothered me and has 0 effect on the sound but, if you are in any way handy (I am not), you could likely just buy a nail and screw/attach the corner back to the cabinet.

- The other issue is these are biwire speakers but, I don't have the original jumpers for them anymore (see picture), as I have been using aftermarket jumpers for years and need to keep these for use of biwire speakers in future, so, you would need to use either biwire cables with these, or just purchase an inexpensive jumper from your local audio store to connect the tweeter and woofer posts together.

Now the cool part..  I have all the original packaging, for shipping - from NEW (1998).  This includes the:

- Boxes

I also once owned the later Home version, and sold them in favour of these originals.  The Home version to my ears had a significantly rolled off treble (fine for some systems) whereas the original has pure, extended, and absolutely neutral highs.  Just what I like.  (Give me the 'truth', please ! ).

Thanks for looking.
