Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

We are pleased to offer one of the first pre-owned 803 D4's to come to the market.

These are the 4th generation 803 series speaker, meaning these are the latest and greatest and were just released last year.

These came from a local audiophile that used them sparingly and took great care. There are no visible signs of use and both spekaers are working like the day they left the factory not long ago.

These will come to you complete with everything possible packing, manuals, jumpers etc.

Current MSRP is $22,500 so here is a nice opportunity to score a virtually new set at a nice savings.

Since they are in their original packing they can ship anywhere in the world safely.

These will ship for $700 Flat Rate anywhere within the lower 48 States (added to your cart during checkout). If you're outside of this area simply contact us for a quote. Local courier is also an option.

The SkyFi Testing Process for Speakers:

Our speaker evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, dented tweeter domes, and cone damage. We also inspect the speaker connection points for loose or broken connectors.

After the initial visual inspection we connect the speakers to a reference amplifier with our preferred test tracks. With the speakers placed with proper distance we listen to each driver to make sure that they are producing the intended frequencies with no signs of distortion or rattle. During listening tests with test tracks we check for proper stereo imaging and bass response at various listening levels. If there are any audible signs of issues, the speakers are taken to the bench where we perform a frequency sweep to isolate the issue so that it can be resolved by component repair or replacement.
