Please note while item is in working condition, when tested
with a McIntosh tuner/preamp/amplifier setup, there was some
static when adjusting the volume on the McIntosh preamplifier. I don't know if
the static is coming from the preamp or the speaker. Buyers should be prepared to have it professionally service
to get optimal sound quality. Starting price has been adjusted to account for
the need to have it professionally serviced.
·Fully
Functional: Tested and
sounding fantastic. (See note above regarding static noise when adjusting
volume).
(Please
see the accompanying video, I tried to capture a sample of the static as best as I
could).
