Lord Nitrogen 6 Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) £800, £700, audition/pickup in Brighton welcome. Will meet halfway in SE/London. No packing so reluctant to send even by courier. Wilson Benesch Actor loudspeakers in cherry. The first grown up speakers I ever had were S/H WB Orators and when these big brothers became available I had to have them. On Wammer advice they were replaced with Audionote AN-E 3-4 years ago and they have sat essentially unused since then. Spikes, terminal connecting plates and photocopied manual included. 88dB sensitivity. 110 cm tall (with sloping top), 23 cm wide, 37 cm deep. Approx 48 kg. Huge WAF (sample size n=1). Some dings and imperfections, nothing noticeable from listening position. Black bases could do with touching up (see terminals photo). Some historic love from the 'Wam: Edited January 11 by Lord Nitrogen Price Drop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millennium 74 Posted December 14, 2018 Wow lovely loudspeakers! Nice to see them bi wired too I suppose. Good luck with your sale. What are you moving on to may I ask? I have Elac floorstanders in the other room I've hardly used them but they were a bargain and already run in ! Relaxing in the bedroom at the moment. Wolf alice 20th - need to maybe sort out a new phone with o2 priority. Or just turn up early. It's a nice venue! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my BLN-L21 using Tapatalk They're a speaker I'd possibly like to try as well, they do look very interesting. I always thought WB was just an overpriced luxury that celebrities or rich people get to buy just to say they've got one of the most expensive. To me, their drive units didn't ever look anything special either. However, they did actually really capture me one year at the Bristol show with one of their demos, they were £26,000 speakers which I would never buy though (I think I can safely say never there ), but they explained that a lot of their technology is employed in their more affordable range as well, and it got me wondering ever since. Very low on my list of priorities at the moment though, but have a bump on me anyway all the best with them, and yes they do look very nice, perhaps more so than their very expensive Darth Vader look-alikes Edited January 12 by eddie-baby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
