Further information:  Reluctantly selling these speakers after many years of satisfying listening in a dedicated two-channel stereo set-up.  Over that period, the  speakers have been driven principally by a Rega Brio-R amp, using a Rega Planar 3 and iMac/Rega DAC as sources.  I purchased these beauties from Carlton Audio Visual in ~2013 and paid $1800 at the time (RRP was close to $2000 from memory).  They are still in excellent condition with very limited evidence of use except for a small indendation at the top of one cabinet (see photos).  Otherwise no obvious scuff marks.  The dark walnut finish is very classy and would suit many listening environments.  As you would expect, the speakers are fully broken in and the speakers perform exactly as intended without audible error.  I will particularly miss the the ribbon tweeters, which produce beautiful sparkling highs.  See detailed product specs here. https://www.monitoraudio.com/en/support/past-products/gold-gx/gx50/.   They come with the original speaker grilles and the hard copy owners manual.  I also have compatible generic stands, which I am willing to sell to interested buyers (not included in the asking price).

Hi,

I’m interested in the stands. Can you tell me the height and size of top plate.
Thanks

[cmill]

Hi Buddyev.  Stand height is 560mm from bottom of base plate to top of top plate.  Using with the supplied carpet spikes will add 5-10mm. Top plate is 175 mm deep, 160mm wide.

Thanks - it’s a bit too small for me.
