Item: Pair Martin Logan Summit-X electrostatic speakers Location: Hobart Price: $11,000 Reduced to $9750 Item Condition: Near Mint Reason for selling: Changed circumstances Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Purchased brand new - delivered June 29th 2017. High-gloss piano black finish. Other than perhaps a bit of dust, there are no cosmetic imperfections (eg vacuum cleaner knocks, etc) as far as I am aware. They can be accurately described as Very Near Mint. Serial Numbers ABX8053795G12 / 796G12 [Aside: these are my second pair of Martin Logans, having previously owned ML Ascents.] RFS: Essentially a ground-up rationalisation & stripping back of a hobby that has gotten a tad out of control, resulting in too much stuff. In my dotage, these Summit-X were purchased as part of my ‘why die wondering?’ philosophy. But things have changed & I’m just not listening to music these days – have simply lost interest. [This trend was already under way earlier in the year, and I was aware of it, but I bought 'em anyway…..] Probably age-related I suspect as not much rouses me these days. Lately, the system is either not being used, or just ‘on’ as background noise – either playing crap-recorded ditties from the 70’s and ‘80s via Spotify or tuned to ABC FM Classic. In any case, extreme fidelity is wasted on my ‘mature’ (late ‘60s) ears these days. Perhaps also it’s my cutting back of the wine intake over recent months; constitution complains too much & the occasions when I sit down for a genuine ‘listen’ with a glass of red have become non-existent. No point holding onto gear for the sake of it. [In addition, the ML removal will not be lamented by herself - who feels they are ‘large’. I have argued that in actual fact, they are not as large as the once-resident ML ‘Ascent’ speakers …. Be that as it may, they cannot be described in most domestic situations as ‘invisible’.] My apologies for the rambling, but this pretty much sums up the blurry place where I am with music / hifi. Specs & reviews for the Summit-X can be found online. As a quick note here, the main features of interest to me at the time of purchase were:- 1: Fully active bass with dedicated internal amp (accordingly - only one set of speaker terminals for the panels) with clever electronics tweaking the phasing of twin 10” woofers (one front-firing, one downward-firing) in a design effort to emulate the dipole timbre / air of the panels. Personally, I could never hear the character difference between the panels & the cones of my former fully passive Ascents, but a young professional musician friend said that he could….and I trust his ears. 2. A very low crossover at 270 Hz – well out of the way of the heart of the midrange (vocals are particularly natural); 3: Bullet-proof physicality (can’t be finger-poked or tipped over) with respect to my 2 brand-new grandsons. 4: IMO, the air, clarity, openness, natural detail (without harshness), speed & fullness of a well set-up pair of Martin Logans is hard to beat. Please email any queries. Note A: The warranty unfortunately is not transferrable. Whilst I would be amazed if these gave any trouble whatsoever (with appropriate usage that is – probably not including extreme sustained volume head-banging!), you are on your own if problems do arise. Note B: For interstate shipping, these will be re-packed into their original boxes, plastic-wrapped and pallet-mounted as they were delivered to me (see pic). They come with all original docs, spikes, covers, etc. Pictures:

Further information: Purchased from Clay less than a month ago - this is an updated 2020 version but still in the current case so looks the same as the current model on the website. From Clay "Compared to a current Fein II is has extra regulators around the DAC chip & an improved main internal PSU" - I haven't heard the current model but this one sounds great - there are plenty of reviews and happy customers on SNA! Thanks to Snoopy8 you can read about how this DAC stacks up I've ended up with 3 DACS - a Holospring 2, Musical Paradise and the Fein II. It's been hard to know which one of the Musical Paradise or Fein II to keep but I think in my current setup i just enjoy the sound of a tube DAC more and I don't want to have a great piece of equipment like the Fein II sitting around not getting used. This is the USB only version. Have the box it came in so happy to post Oz wide for $30. Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Further information: As New Condition. Only 3 months old purchased locally from Digital Cinema at 26/06/2020 so the local warranty still have a long validity on them. I got a little crazy at that month and purchased 3 different budget speakers As far as I can tell there is no local store that stocked this speaker as i think the PSB brand is not popular in Australia even though its predecessor the Alpha B1 was popular worldwide and so is this new Alpha P5 . So ended up having to do an order in on them, used it for about 1 month after which I upgraded to a more expensive speaker. Not the best performing with a mini Yamaha amp but it scales well with a higher performing amp such as the vintage Marantz tube pre/power combo on my mains setup. Supposedly this have great synergy with NAD amplifiers since they belong under the same parent company but since i don't have a NAD amp I cant really tell. Comparison against KEF LS50 (Taken from https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/reference-components/1390-recommended-reference-component-psb-alpha-p5-loudspeakers) Further Reviews https://www.stereophile.com/content/psb-alpha-p5-loudspeaker https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/psb-alpha-p5-loudspeaker/ Photos:

Further information: As new pair of the very welll reviewed Buchardt audio S400 bookshelf speakers. I ordered these from Mads (the CEO of Buchardt) to test in my system as they have a very generous 45 day return policy. They aren't a good match for my perchant for lower powered tube amps (mine range from 8w-22wpc) and I was going to return them this week. Mads contacted me yesterday to let me know that due to COVID-19 the return shipping cost (which Buchardt covers almost all of) has gone through the roof due to COVID-19 and would I consider selling these locally if he provided a discount on my total AND he will provide the full 10 year warrenty to the new owner from the day they purchase these. Considering sending it back, and them then reselling will cost them a huge chunk of cash, I thought i'd see if anyone was interested in these. They are 6 weeks old, absolutely mint, and have been run in for about 40-50 hours in total. Not a mark on them, and have all the original packaging and accessories. Price is less than what I paid + the discount from Mads. Price is firm - previous sale fell through due to buyers lack of funds so they are up for sale again! Will ship anywhere in Australia for another $50 insured. https://www.buchardtaudio.com/shop/s400-white TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Operating principle: 2-way Passive radiator system Tweeter: 1 x 0,74" Custom fine weave soft fabric textile with CDC aluminum waveguide Mid / woofer: 1 x 6" Aluminum cone with break-up optimization Passive Radiator: 1 x 5x8" Long throw passive radiator with very low mass added Impedance: 4 ohms Sensitivity: 88 dB Frequency response: 33 - 40.000 Hz +/- 3dB (in-room) Crossover Point: 2670hz Power recommendation: 40 - 200 W Measurements (h x w x d): 365 x 180 x 240 mm (14.4” x 7” x 9.45”) Weight: 18 kg / set Speaker grilles included Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.
