Description
Practically FLAWLESS - inside, outside and in function! Not many listings for speakers tell you about the FUNCTION, but I do! These are a PAIR of high-end Mordaunt-Short Aviano 2 bookshelf speakers - with original box and everything that came with them! You might as well call them new, but they are like-new - in looks, container and FUNCTION! These speakers are overall better than 99% of mid-priced ($500-1500) speakers, to the point that no matter which brand/price you turn to, you (like myself) will find it very hard to find anything as good or BETTER, unless you spent well over $1300! This is no joke. The ONLY reason I am selling is because I LUCKED into over the $1500 range, so I no longer have room for these! These were also way too good for surround speakers, so it is someone elses turn to get lucky. What I got lucky with cost a lot more, but they sounded marginally better - that is by but so much, but virtually identical - which still says a lot about these. If you are not used to high-end, in a nutshell - they put out more power with great clarity and little to no distortion. They also use the best parts, crossovers, cabinets, etc. These also feature ALUMINUM mid-woofers! Just take a look at high-end brands and start pricing them when they START to use aluminum instead of paper or plastic, then you will see! Just look on the inside to see the wiring. If I would have been smart and purchased the floor models instead - I would not be selling these! The one pic shows the only flaw on either speaker. Go around the web and read the reviews, in case you dont know high-end. US mainland ONLY! Canada, extra($50, US). Description: Aviano 2 A bit bigger than its bookshelf brothers, Aviano 2 is ideally mounted on a stand to deliver substantial sound in larger spaces. Bravo!Fill your room with sound, without filling it with speakers. Bigger in every way than its little siblings, the Aviano 1 and 1 XR deliver greater levels of not just bass, but all of your music - ideal for really enveloping you in sound, particularly if your living room is more palazzo than pad. Yet its compact drivers and clever construction mean this speaker, which is ideally standmounted, wont dominate your room no matter how cosy it is.Whatever the size of your abode, Aviano 2 promises to deliver beautifully refined and controlled power, at a great price, and from a compact cabinet.

Each Aviano model was created at the company’s design centre on London’s Southbank and features a host of proprietary technologies, critical to Mordaunt-Short’s award winning pedigree. Like Aviano, many speakers have impressive showroom appeal. But take a look inside the cabinet – a place most manufacturers would prefer you didn’t – and you’ll discover there’s way more to Aviano than meets the eye!Take a look inside 1. CPCTM aluminium cone ensures highly predictable driver performance with controlled piston-like movement at lower frequencies and minimal distortion at higher frequencies. Lightweight aluminium is chosen for faithful dynamics. 2. V-Form technology – an innovative driver cone connection to help maintain driver rigidity and results in a bigger, purer soundstage. Varied surround thickness aids pistonic operation and gives genuine timing improvements. 3. High flux density, self shielding neodymium magnet assemblies offer improved sensitivity and better dynamics than conventional 4. Tweeter magnets. Powerful Y30 magnets further enhance Aviano’s woofer. 5. Mordaunt-Short’s 20 year expertise in aluminium dome tweeter technology now features computer-modelled housing for improved dispersion characteristics. The tweeter utilises a high temperature voice coil with liquid cooling and damping for controlled high frequency performance and amazing detail. 6. New cabinet and driver bracing design provide ultimate rigidity and support. 7. Purist crossover design - isolate mounted to minimise distortion. Features premium grade components including high saturation 8. Inductors, DVPC (Dual Value Parallel Capacitors) and oversized resistors ensure optimal signal transfer. 9. Internal high density wadding for critical damping of standing waves. 10. Curved front baffle improves rigidity and dispersion characteristics. 11. Sculpted bullet terminals - easy connection using banana plugs, spade terminals or bare cable. 12. Rear porting for improved bass characteristics. 13. Easily removable front grille.
