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

I rate the condition on these conservatively a 6/10 only due to the issue paragraphed below; plus, a few little nicks here and there on the gloss but, for a high-gloss speaker released in 1998, this is to be anticipated given age.  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 I want to point out as courtesy :

- The panel holding the back binding post on 1 speaker has 'come away' on 2x corners (cosmetic only).  I use thick Wireworld speaker cables that are unwieldy/almost immovable and this has contributed to the problem.  Rest assured the connections with the speaker cable are perfect, as manufacturer intended.  Sound is unaffected.

- 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 Wireworld jumpers for years and need to keep these for use of biwire speakers in future, so - you'd need to just use either biwire cables, 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.
