    Default F/S Custom Built Home Studio Monitor with matching stands

    A highly individual and much admired pair of HSM based on the Wilmslow design but with cabinets and stands built by a professional cabinet maker for his own use.

    Drive Units are the highly rated Scanspeak D2905/9500 treble and the Volt BM 220.8 bass /midrange.
    The speakers were very recently upgraded having all their Caps replaced with MUNDORF SUPREME and Atlas twin wired with Hyper 2 speaker cable. Inductors are from Volt.

    The cabinets are larger than the original HSM as they have thicker walls with sand filled channels.
    The veneers are hand cut 6mm radiused Sycamore edged in cherry and this is repeated on the matching stands.
    The stands are of the same build and are sand filled,
    The speakers I estimate are approx 30kg each and the stands 15kg+

    Sizes 950 cms including stands
    530 h x 270 w x 370 d
    88db sensitivity so presenting a benign load




















    Price £835.00 ono
    These are collection only
    PS I live very close to M42/M40/ M6

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Nice, I had a pair of Kord Tornado (the original design Wilmslow bought and based the HSM on) with the upgraded D2905/9300 and original BM220.8, outstanding speakers for Rock & Electro! Real punch and epic bass for their size.

    Good luck with the sale!
