A pair of superb PLATINUM DUO speakers & stands.
£600 .... Swaps or p/ex also considered - anything 2-channel may be of interest!
Designed by Phil Jones, ex of Acoustic Energy. Very like an upmarket and improved Acoustic Energy AE2 - and AE2s go for well over £1,000 with stands. The similarity in design and drivers used is very obvious.
117cm high, including stands. The speakers bolt to the stands by means of 3 bolts per speaker, but 1 bolt for 1 speaker is missing. I'll see if I can get a replacement - they look fairly standard,.
Superb finish - wood veneer sides and piano black laquer on top. Lovely.
Simply superb with rock, blues and electronic music - perhaps a shade forward for classical. Their previous owner was into blues and country music, and thought they were fab - he just fancied a change, as one does!
Fantastic dynamics, clarity, bass extension and control.
Near Mint condition - there is a faint scrape along one side - and perfect working order.
RRP was $4,000+ in the USA. These were made in America and very few were imported into the UK.
See Stereophile review of the smaller Platinum Solo here - http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/1195platinum/index.html
Very heavy - so collection only (Glos GL17) .... or we may be able to meet up - please ask! Anywhere in the region of Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Swindon, Gloucester, Hereford etc would be fine.
I have the box & packing for the speakers, but not the stands. I may consider sending the speakers only by courier.
