fish Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 SOLD Item: Whise HA-1500 (Nakamichi Dragon) active hybrid electrostatic speakers Location: Newstead- Brisbane CBD Price: $3500 Item Condition:Very Good Reason for selling: Wife won't live with them Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: I bought these of Winno here on SNA just before Xmas. I want wax lyrical about how good they are because.........................they are just beautiful. However the asthetics don't please my wife and they just have to go. I am driving them direct with my NAD M51 streaming tidal and Deezer through a Bluesound Node2 and it seems a match made in heaven. They are such an open. correct sounding speaker and they dont have a tiny sweetspot. The images below are borrowed from Winnos advert in December. The last pic is in my living room. That's a 55" TV for reference I didnt find them difficult to setup. The high mid sub controls on the rear made matching to my room a breeze. I'm hoping someone in Brisbane will jump on these as shipping would be another whole story, but not impossible. They need a good home. Beautiful speakers. Read Winno's advert and this link Cheers Fish (not happy Jan) Pictures: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Aussie Audiophile Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Whaaaaa! Ya wife is crazy . My missus loves the design. I'd love to have these to A/B with my Ribbons. Shame I can't afford them though. One day. I love height in my speakers. Whats her turn off? No chance of winning her over? Maybe the Ambiances could do the trick haha.

I would have bought a second pair but shipping without cartons is way too dangerous. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 From the original pics I thought they were around 6ft in height, but from the last one, they are not that bad. Such a shame. GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

challpa Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Im very interested in these Would these be too big for my room its 4.5m deep by 5m wide. I would run them from pre outs on my Yamaha Aventage 3010 I do want a speaker that has a large room presence and goes loud when needed Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hi . These certainly have no issue with volume . My room is similar. The last owner had them in a room similar to yours. See the pics. Yes they would run direct from the Yamaha pre. I'm really not enjoying this. I'd like to keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
