FS: Living Voice Auditorium Speakers - 94 dB

[Ninanina]

I am selling my Living Voice Auditorium speakers

I never thought I would ever sell these LV's as they sound so good, however as I no longer own low output valve amps they are no longer required and I need to finance another hifi purchase ;)

These Auditoriums are in really excellent condition and, of course, work 100% perfectly. The grills are also perfect

The are 94 dB sensitive so are perfect for low output valve amps. I ran them with 8w of 300b SET amp and they sounded wonderful

They are bi-wireable but the bi wire jumpers are not included in the sale as these are my pair of NAC A5's which I need to keep hold of. The best, and most affordable, jumpers that I've used are these ones from Mark Grant:

I have the original boxes for the speakers but as the boxes are not in perfect condition the LV's are for pick up only from Portsmouth

They are complete with their original metal plinths. I think these plinths are supposed to be detachable but I've never tried to do that as they seem pretty well attached to me

I would like £400 for the Auditoriums which I think is a bargain for their sound quality

I have these listed on eBay as well and I've had messages saying I've underpriced them so people might think there is something wrong with them...

Well maybe I have underpriced them but I can assure everyone they have absolutely no faults whatsoever and are working 100% and as they should be. The condition is also excellent, as stated

I need to sell them to fund something else and thought £400 was a fair price for them to sell quickly

[struth]

It's more than fair

Thanks everyone for your replies

Yes Gazjam I did see those ones at Emporium at £1,200, they are the MKII's but I didn't think there was that much difference between those and my MKI's... actually for completeness does anyone know what the differences were ?

Hi Malcolm
I am really sorry I thought I'd replied to all my messages, I'll get on it now... :doh:

They're Avatars, rather than auditoriums.

The price for Ninaninas is about right for early Auditoriums.

[Bourney]

There are differences between the mk1 &2. The cabinet is finished differently and possibly made at a different factory following the closure of the castle factory that made the originals. Mk2s were made in Denmark I think. The plinths on the Mk2 are made of lighter material and are taller. I'd also imagine there were some crossover revisions over the time that the mk2 came out....not that I've had a lot of experience with LVs or anything. The mk1 auditorium is great fun.

That's great thanks Steve. Mine certainly have Made in UK on them

Those on Emporium are certainly being sold as Auditorium's rather than Avatar's but I'm no expert on the matter

[Bourney]

They're Avatars. They have the d2905 tweeter and slightly different bass drivers.

[Gazjam]

Ah, my mistake sorry Bev.

@Mods
As its a sales thread I'd like to take my misinformed post off, that ok?

I wouldn't worry. Besides, it's in context with other posts.

H'okay...

[Ninanina]

I've had a few people ask if I can ship the LV's and I am really sorry but as the boxes are not in the best condition they are for pick up only I'm afraid or I could also meet up, within reasonable miles from Portsmouth, if that helps anyone

I am really sorry to disappoint those that wanted them shipped but I don't want these being handled by any courier

[Ninanina]

Friday bump

I've had loads of interested in the LV's but no takers at the moment

I can't believe these valve friendly and reasonably affordable speakers are still here

I've had loads of interest but for some reason they have fallen by the wayside..

Hey Bev,

You run a setup similar to where I've ended up. Curious as to what you are moving to after these.
