b.d Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) SOLD Item: pair Elac Uni-Fi UB5Location: Hurstbridge VicPrice: $750 (new price seems to be $1300 locally)Item Condition: As newReason for selling: downscalingPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: I'm downscaling from multichannel to stereo with a baby on the way in a few weeks. I bought these brand new last year for my audio-only multichannel system with PSE-144 horns up front. Great match, preferred these to the LS50s and X300A I had at the time. They are in perfect condition and have only been played very gently as rears. They've been living on ceiling-high shelves out of harms way and have had nary a finger layed on them since the day they arrived. I took gentle measurements on them when they arrived, as I do all new speakers to make sure they survived the journey, and they measure just fine, so buy with confidence. Happy to repeat measurements and/or set up as fronts for an audition with your tunes. Photos if you want them, but they look identical to stock photos of the black ones like these https://www.stereophonic.com.au/elac-uni-fi-ub5-bookshelf-pair/ Edited March 24, 2017 by b.d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2so Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Totally agree on Elacs being generally better than ls50Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 $1300 new, are Aus stores having a laugh? Someone is taking a fair bit of cream on top. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called the "Australia Tax". Apparently we're all idiots in this country. You could get pair of KEF Q300's (nice speaker BTW, just don't drive them too hard or you'll blow them up like did) for £249.00 in the UK which at today's exchange rate equates to $408 AUD. Currently available at JB Hifi for only $1088. Bargain! Sorry to the OP for going off topic.

b.d Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 I wasn't aware they were still available on Amazon (tried to buy the Elac amplifier and was told they wouldn't ship to Oz). I think I'll lower price to $750. The added value here being the chance at a relaxed demo in a well treated room. And avoiding the risk of importing and having to ship back speakers damaged in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thathifiguy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 $1300 new, are Aus stores having a laugh? Someone is taking a fair bit of cream on top. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk I think you'll actually find it's ELAC having a laugh. Synergy is generally very good when it comes to price parity (by the time you take into account conversion, shipping, GST), but with these new Andrew Jones designed ranges, ELAC are proving to be less flexible.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
