Item Condition: 9/10 - immaculate Reason for selling: Magicos Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Speakers are in 'as new" condition, toppers have very minor chips. ML1+R cost $5,800 new in 2017 direct from Mike Lenehan. I have original boxes for the ML1+R and for the toppers. Can happily demonstrate - need to hear to appreciate how good these speakers are.

I can sell the Toppers 20 x over - perhaps I'll make the toppers $2,300 and you get free speakers!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. There is an Italian restaurant near me who does the same thing. The pasta is free and you only pay for the sauce, but of course, you must buy the sauce! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie59 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Are the stands included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsound Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 No, unfortunately the stands sold in a separate sale - you can buy the excellent, but expensive Lenehan stands which are a perfect match, or do as I did, get some Dynaudo, Focal, Atacama, Quadraspire, etc. or other good stands and fill them with Garnet (from Bunnings - used for sand blasting) - you can get good stands from $250 up to about $1000. I think the Mike Lenehanan Stands are more Lenehannsive expensive Again. Thanks, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amisty Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 ok cool and sounds wise? which would be the better one? eos ref or these? as they are similar priced and there is a used pair of eos ref for sale at the moment too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the lenehan is using Scanspeak D2608 and Peerless drivers. In my experience they are very good in terms of mids and highs. Whereas the Osborn one is using Seas and I think a Focal driver and those Seas tweeter are really good and high price, IMHO. I have DIY speakers both based on Seas and Scanspeak (no focal) and to me they are both great speakers You can't go wrong either way. GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain.j Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is a Topper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsound Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 10 hours ago, captain.j said: Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is a Topper? It's a device that sits on top of the speakers made up of 3 components a frame, a heavy weight and some decoupling devices. The theory is that the combination of heavy weight, decoupled from the speaker, increases the inertia of the speaker and therefore reduces out of phase vibrations. (I think)!
