The Black Adder

Hello there.
I'm looking to downsize my system somewhat and so my behemoth speakers may have to go. It would be a sad day as these speakers are some of the best ones I've ever owned.
They have a huge sound presence, a solid bass that shakes the room while mids and highs are absolutly sweet without being bright.
They are about 18months old, with highly polished gloss rosewood sides and tops, black high gloss faces.
These are the latest MKII versions and are £7000 (RRP) - I'd be after £3999
In the time I've had them I've had them running on Naim, and Chord setups and I was flabbergasterd in what they did to bring out the characteristics of the amps.
Usage, well over the last 8 months or so I've simply not had the time so only light usage I'd say.
Smoke free/Pet Free home. They come with spikes but no boxes as I simply could not store them... they were huge so pick up only.
Make no doubt about it, these are serious speakers weighing in at 40,9kg's each.
