Hi everyone I’m listing my pmc twenty5.23’s for sale as I’m upgrading. I won’t be able to post them until next week but thought I’d throw them up now. I’m happy to take a small deposit and the full amount just prior to me sending them. Hopefully this gives people a little time to get cash together or sell other things to finance them. These speakers changed the game for me. They aren’t big but sound massive. I’ve honestly struggled to find any speakers under 10k (even some over 10k) that even come close. The sound staging is wide and pin point accurate, the sound is extremely balanced and rich and the lower frequencies are more than covered. They are also not fussy with amps or positioning so you can put them anywhere and get a great sound. These are widely regarded as the sweet spot in the pmc range. They also have a 20 year warranty from pmc. The speakers present in mint condition and have been well looked after. I have all the original packaging and happy to ship. I also have a matching PMC centre speaker if you’re keen on the bundle. Add $1500 if you want it. Otherwise I’m happy to keep it. Notes: - free shipping is only to metro locations. Country or international buyers will need to pay difference between the cost of shipping to metro & their location - clause added as I got caught out with someone from Jakarta a few months ago. - take 10% off for local pickup in Canberra. - buyer pays PayPal fees (+3%) or I’m happy to accept cash, bank transfer or trusted PayPal payment. Thanks.

Further information: Local pickup only as the boxes were too large to keep. Photos:

Further information: Have original shipping boxes so can send Australia wide though Interparcel courier service. Buyer pays postage. PM for more info.

Item: Upper mid-level / lower hi-end floorstanders (see below for examples) Price Range: Depends what's on offer and value for money Item Condition: Used Extra Info: Testing the market for what might be out there in terms of upper mid-level / lower hi-end floorstanders (see below for examples). I'm ready to buy if offer stacks up and you don't want the hassle of going through the advertising process (I've got gear here that I'll simply keep rather than go through the painfulness of selling - I suspect there are other people out there in a similar boat). Generally I'm pretty open regarding sonic signature and can find something to "love" in most speakers (at this price point it shouldn't be a huge issue). Not looking to get ripped (if you're offering something at 80% of retail I'm probably not your guy). Preferences but not essential: Prefer nice wood grain (but black would be OK); East Coast preferred (just for ease of transport - but not essential for right gear); Willingness to ship (but depending on location - AND LOCKDOWN STATUS - I'm be prepared to travel to pick up the right speaker); Open-minded audiophile happy to talk things through and help me make the right choice; Examples of speakers I would have investigated VERY STRONGLY if I'd been ready / quick enough are as below (suspect I'm not alone on some of these).

Yet, rather like a master chef cooking with everyday ingredients, ProAc's engineers have concocted something quite extraordinary." Excellent speakers, happy to demo for serious buyers with some of my amps or BYO. Comes with 2 x 3.5 m Tara Labs Prism banana terminated cables. Pickup only, no boxes. Price is firm. This is the cheapest advertised pair of Proac Studio 140 for sale according to www.hifishark.com Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Item: REDEFY AUDIO 2 floor standing Speakers Tiger coloured in Images Location: Perth Price new was 8500 Item Condition:90/100 couple of scratches, but speakers basically unused and just sitting in HT room. Reason for selling: No use Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: No boxes, can ship but needs wrapping or pack and send maybe. Frequency Response - 30hz - 20khz (20hz in room) Impedance - 8ohm Efficiency - 94db Power Handling - 1000W Dimensions - W 280mm x H 1100mm x D 468mm Drivers - 1" Horn Loaded Tweeter 8" Midrange 15" Bass Weight - 65kg each Edgar Kramer does a great review in 6 moons http://6moons.com/audioreviews2/redefy/1.html Extra Info: Left speaker with bass unit on right hand side has a slight nick in the top front edge from moving into place, its like a tiny nick in a resin cover over wood- hard to see unless close up - I have touched up and probably could do better but you cannot really see it unless close up. and when the speakers arrived the tweeter was not working, I tried to undo the horn Allen keys but resin varnish was holding in place i spoke to Henry from Redefy Audio who created them and after touching up the scratch marks on the allen keys and removing the bass driver to find a simple loose solder joint to the tweeter so 2 secs and one solder later and they fired up beautifully...and they never looked back but i bought two sets of speakers at the same time and have not got space for both. They are very very special speakers and sound amazing, and would be 3-4 times the price if a well known international brand, the 15 inch bass just thumps you in the chest and the horn loaded tweeter supply sublime top ends, a lovely combination detailed by Edgar Kramer on 6 moons perfectly. With high end Italian drivers and a sublime build and finish they are amazing speakers and certainly no need for a sub with a 15 inch driver each side, they are simply too big for my life and wife and my 3.5 metre wide room and only selling to keep the forward facing set of bass drivers for my room set up otherwise i would keep forever they are that good. 94DB AT 8 OHM SO VERY EFFICIENT AND WORKED WELL WITH MY WESTON ACOUSTICS TUBE OR PS AUDIO BHK PRE POWER and Vitus pre power. To be in context they are second only to my b and w 802D's and bettered in my opinion my Wilson benesh Vectors which truly says something as the WBV were sublime but just a bit too small for my listening habits Conclusion. The Redefy Audio Two are true 3-way designs featuring high-efficiency drivers, an extremely well-built and finished enclosure and thorough overall engineering for what is, these days, a very reasonable $8500 asking price. Henry Kristanto had a self-imposed mandate: launch a brand of speakers offering superb overall performance at affordable prices. In this intro, I asked "does the world really need another speaker manufacturer?" Henry Kristanto's Redefy Audio's Two has answered with a blaring bugle blow. And it's a blast asserting a resounding ‘Yes!' Based on the excellence of the Two, I'd wholeheartedly agree and call this a superb addition to the local and hopefully soon global high-end speaker landscape.
