FS - Spendor SP100r2 Speakers in Walnut with Something Solid Stands
For sale are a pair of Spendor SP100r2 Speakers. Speakers are in Walnut finish and will come with a pair of Something Solid stands. These sound fantastic and I've driven them with a Radford STA15 (they have a sensitivity of 89dB), but they do seem to appreciate a bit more power. However, I've reached the conclusion that the 12" driver is just too big for my tiny room.
I bought these speakers used from a dealer in August 2018. They had only had one previous owner and, judging from dates on the boxes were originally sold earlier that year.
The speakers are in excellent condition. The wood veneer looks fantastic, though there are marks on the bottom where that have been on stands and there are 2 small marks on one speaker. The first is on the bottom right of the speaker (looking from the front) and it looks as though the speaker has slipped off a stand at some point causing a little damage to the front corner. The images are enlarged for clarity - the one with 5p is looking from the underside of the speaker and will give you some idea of size - but it's really not noticeable when looking from any distance. I've subsequently put some felt pads on the stands to hopefully prevent anything like this from happening again.
The second mark is a tiny bump to the top right edge - again, shown with a 5p to give you some idea of size.
Otherwise, I can't see any marks on the speakers and the drivers and front covers appear to be in excellent condition. The stands are in very good condition, but appear to be a little older than the speakers and might benefit from some TLC in the future.
These speakers are big (70x37x43cm) and heavy (about 36Kg each). I have the original boxes and packing in great condition, so you could arrange your own shipping, but will likely be expensive and will be at the buyers own risk. I'd also need to find some boxes for the stands. I managed to just fit the speakers and stands in the back of a Vauxhall Insignia hatchback, but an estate or larger is recommended. Happy to arrange to meet to help with delivery, but I'll need to borrow a car, so would need a little notice.
I believe these were £6k new and the new Classic 100 is more expensive still. I'm looking for £3,000 or closest offer. I would consider part exchange, but have something very specific in mind - a pair of Harbeth 30.2 40th Anniversary speakers I hope will suit my room better.
