Best Speaker deal on eBay! Ive been invested in high end audio for a couple of decades now, and Ive gone through oh so many speakers I have lost count. Ive had Sonus faber, Martin Logan, Zu audio, Dali, Pioneer, Yamaha, JBL, Klipsch, RBH and many more. I had been bitten by the audio bug, and as good as my system sounded, I always felt like there was room for improvement. That was until I found these Monitor audio Platinum 300s. They were my end game speakers and was sure that I was finally cured of my ailments, and all of my chasing the audio dragon. I mean these speakers truly had everything I had been searching for and left little to be desired. The clarity of the micro pleated diaphragm (ribbon) tweeters is absolutely stunning. The look on peoples faces when I turn these up is priceless, even people who really arent all that into audio gear, or Hi-Fi are gob smacked at the sound these produce. They have to be heard to be believed. The bass is so tight, and it goes right through you, the mids are flawless, and the soundstage impeccable. Both the 10cm midrange and 20cm bass drivers use second-generation RDT cones. RDT II is a composite of low mass skins – C-CAM and carbon – separated by a honeycomb Nomex core.This material is claimed to combine lightness with rigidity and good self-damping – an ideal blend of qualities for a speaker cone. Monitor Audio claims RDT II is the lowest distorting cone technology in its history. That’s quite some statement. Very very dynamic sound without being fatiguing to the ears. Well, my ears anyway, my wife may have other opinions. They are also very aesthetically pleasing with exceptional build and finish. They look like pieces of fine art and are amazing to view even when not in use.They are everything you would expect from a pair of $16,000 speakers and then some, and I have heard them all. I would do the Pepsi challenge with anything listed on KSL at any price!So why am I selling? I dont know, something is wrong with me, I guess. I have a chance to get a pair of $30k speakers for a relatively low price, and I wanted to give them a try.Here are some things to know. These speakers are not perfect, and also why I am not asking more for them. There are 3 small blemishes that I need to disclose. (see last three pictures)There are some small scuff marks in the clear coat on the back of one of the speakers. I have it against the wall I never see it. There is a very tiny nick on the metal in the front top of that same speaker that I cant even get to show up in a picture. Then there is one of the mid drivers that has two little imperfections on it. Not sure how they got there? They dont affect the sound at all, and you cant see it when you have the grills on, but it is a bummer. I was actually going to contact Monitor and see how much a replacement mid is, and I could replace it for $250.Okay, are you still with me? Sorry! There is one caveat, if the speakers I want as replacements get sold before mine sell. I will take them off the market. I will not ship. I dont have the original boxes, and they weigh 100lbs a piece! These are serious speakers, and I will audition for serious buyers only please.Lately I am throwing in for Free pair of 10ft Monster Z2 reference biwire speaker cables. The best monster ever made!Local Pick up only!
