SOLD

Item: Shindo Petite Latour Loudspeakers
Location: Brisbane
Price: $9,900 
Item Condition: 7/10, some minor marks, second owner
Reason for selling: Upgrade to full size Shindo Latour
Payment Method: Negotiable
Extra Info:

 

This is a somewhat unique opportunity to purchase a pair of Shindo "Petite" Latour Loudspeakers, rarely available on the second hand market, even more-so in Australia.

 

These are the "Alnico" version using modified Altec 1" HF and 12" LF drivers, Western Electric/Altec horn, proprietary adjustable crossover networks, and hand tuned resonate cabinets. The cabinets are finished in beautiful Pau Ferro (rosewood) veneer with trademark speaker legs. Sound is as good as they look, rich, coherent and open. The ideal compliment to any full Shindo system.

 

The cabinets are approximately 45cm wide x 45cm deep and 120cm tall, the legs add around 6cm to the width at the base of the cabinets, weight is unknown but I estimate around 30-35kg per speaker, so not exactly 'petite' by modern standards.

 

I have rated them 7/10 due to not being the original owner, there are some minor hairline scratches and small marks from previous shipping. There is also some fading of the cabinets from sunlight exposure, visible in the attached photographs around the grill area, otherwise they are in original condition. They are approximately 5 years old (2007). Reason for sale is the desire to upgrade to the full size Shindo Latour.

 

As above I am located in Brisbane, but will ship Australia wide, or even international, freight costs will be quoted on an individual basis to serious buyers. Approximate crated dimensions are 120cm (L) x 66cm (W) x 145cm (H), and ~100 Kg if you would like to obtain your own estimates.

 

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions, or would like more pictures.

Do you have any specs on these?  I can't find any on the 'net.

 

There are no published specs that I am aware of, you could email Shindo, use the larger Latour as a guide, or infer them from similar Altec drivers (414 and 802/806)
