daro Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Price: $4200 Item Condition: Excellent Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available. Suburb or Town: Sydney, Lindfield 2070 State: New South Wales Payment Method: Cash on Pickup preferred Reason for selling: Planning to move overseas I have for sale my beloved pair of Harbeth M30.1 in Tiger Ebony finish. These are 35th Anniversary Edition, with Ultra-Pure OFC wiring. They're in excellent condition and come from smoke, pet and kid-free home. I'm the first owner and bought the speakers six years ago directly from Harbeth. I looked after them, dusted off regularly, and as per Harbeth's recommendations never used oils or chemicals when cleaning them. The veneer looks great, like new. I also never removed the grills, they fit very tight. My M30.1's had very easy live as I listen to music a few hours a week and always at low volume. So they were never driven hard. It's a very reluctant sale, but as I'm planing to move overseas I would prefer to find them a new good home here, instead of shipping them to the other part of the world. I'll also include my DIY stands. This can be the best Ikea hack ever, they fit speakers perfectly. But I could've done a better job with painting them. They are quite low though, and put the tweeters at around 78cm from the floor, which works for me. I have the original boxes, but would prefer a local sale and pickup at this stage. I'm in Lindfield (2070) and you're off course welcomed to audition and inspect the speakers before buying.

daro Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) @Be Quiet...Listen as I mentioned, the grills fit very tight. I'm too worried about scratching the veneer when trying to remove them without a proper tool. But if somebody knows any risk-free tricks to pop them out, let me know.

daro Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks @mminnett. What kind of magnet did you use. I just ordered a small neodymium magnet on ebay, but it'll take a few days before I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuDrew Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks @PKay Very nice speakers, comparable to the similarly designed BBC LS5/9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjohn Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 They look superb I have the super HL5PLUS in cherry but would have preferred the Tiger Ebony ! In any case a brilliant speaker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daro Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Got the magnet today and popped the grilles off for the first time. Added a couple of pictures showing the drivers and the front veneer. All in perfect condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
