Extra Info: 

A rare find, as these remarkable speakers don’t often come up for sale.  They were a departure from the usual Proac design, with open baffle and ribbon tweeter.  When new, their RRP here in Australia was $18,999 and $10K USD overseas.  After owning many speakers over the years, I have a distinct preference for the high end Proac sound.  These speakers have been part of a second system, however I rarely get to use even my primary system.  Primary system includes Proac D80’s, which are amazing.  These speakers are the next closest I have heard to them, but it’s time for them to go.  After years of trying out many speakers across brands, I have not come across anything better than these used for even twice the amount of my asking price.   The birdseye maple finish is stunning, and is by far the best finish on any speakers I have seen or owned.  The birdseye looks almost multi dimensional from different angles and in different light.  As with all Proac's, these speakers are built to a very high standard and the sound is exceptional.  Stereophile review here - https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/1000proac/index.html   It is rare to find these in Australia for sale.  For reference, overseas sales are typically in the $5-$6K AUD range

 

I would encourage local pickup, with a chance to audition, and with payment of your choice.  Bendigo is only 1.5 hours drive from Melbourne.  I currently have them setup with a pair of Red Wine Audio Signature 70 mono-blocks, and they can be auditioned for as long as you wish (in a separate room from rest of the house).  Note that I’m prepared to sell the mono-blocks to the buyer at a very reasonable price if interested.  If not, after the sale I will be looking to sell the mono-blocks for anyone interested.  If local pickup isn’t practical then I’m happy to look at delivery options.

 

Questions welcomed.  Thanks for looking.

Wow interesting design, wedge shaped.

 

Will read up on these as I am unfamiliar with model or that type of design.

 

was about to ask would a child easily push these over, but saw the extended legs out the back.

75 lbs according to the stereophile link that was posted above

Thanks for the comments all.  Yes, they are beautifully made and sound great.  If I didn't have the much bigger brother D80's then I would be keeping them (shame that my D80's aren't finished in birdseye maple, but rather the standard cherry.....).  75 lbs sounds about right for the pair.  Spot on regarding their stability and small children - the legs at the back make for quite a wide overall footprint, and combined with a significant portion of cabinet weight at the bottom, these are probably harder to push over than an average floor stander.

Let us know if ever you decide to sell the D80’s.

Sold and picked up.  Thank you everyone for the interest.  I still have a pair of Red Wine Audio Signature 70 mono-blocks available for anyone interested.
