wolster Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 There is a story there that would be interesting. Gumtree seems a strange choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a related 120 W OTL valve amp for sale where they share the story... 70 years old and downsizing to a smaller home. Opportunity here for someone if this is their thing........oh, and if you have the spare mooola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Downsizing" usually means going into supported care/ retirement village. Many of us may suffer the same fate... hope he gets what it's worth..

Bunno77 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I hope it brought him a lot of joy and I hope he played them as loud, and as long as he liked. All the best to him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops110 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 I hope he gets what he's after too. But I would imagine the market would be pretty small. I think someone will get a stonking bargain, especially if it comes to the point where he has too sell before he moves. Cheers Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a story there. 90Kg??? 1200 Kg .......This is from the Genesis 1.1 user manual - I love the bit about potential damage to your back! Unpacking The Genesis 1.1 system is packed in eight (8) wooden shipping crates and four (4) cardboard boxes. There are two crates containing a woofer tower each, two midrange/tweeter wing-panel crates containing two wings per crate, two crates each containing the midrange ribbon and tweeters mounted on a CorianTM panel, a crate with the two midrange/tweeter wing bases, and another one with the two woofer tower bases. There will also be a box containing two crossover boxes, two boxes each holding a 6-channel servo- controlled bass amplifier, and a box containing all the supplied connecting cables. To remove the contents of all the crates, you will need at least three immensely strong people – the Genesis 1.1 loudspeaker system weighs a total of 2,640 lbs (1,200kg) – to move the various parts of the speakers around. We cannot be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs during unpacking and setting up. First, determine where you will be placing the speakers. They are extremely heavy, so some forward planning will come in handy. Depending on the surface they are set on, you may find that the speakers are impossible to shift after setting up. Please see the section on placement and carefully mark up the places where you will set the four columns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabidlistener Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I like the 'you may be interested' section at the bottom of the ad - a pair of Sony towersa for $30. Talk about from the sublime to the ridiculous! Mike PS I thought I had heavy speakers @ 55kgs each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 They look stunning. With my old house and its dodgy floorboards, there is a good chance they would go straight through and hit the dirt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgehifi Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Magic speakers, I hope he didn't try to drive them with the OTL's he's also advertising, they need current and wattage, one thing OTL's don't do is current. Similar to the Infinity's Cheers George Edited April 24, 2017 by georgehifi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
