General:
The Model 8b from Aerial Acoustics is a full range speaker capable of filling a mid to large size room with great natural and articulate sound. Made right here in the USA in New England  in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts.

This is a full range speaker thanks to the 10.7" side firing woofers. The rest of the duties are handled by a unique 1" titanium felt surround tweeter and a. 7.1" paper/composite midrange.

The speaker will present a moderate load to an amplifier requiring at least 50W, but better suited for 100W if you want to get the most from them.

These were produced in the early 2000's and retailed for close to $6K.

SkyFi Cosmetic Notes:
The gorgeous cherry finish is super clean with no noticeable signs of stress, discoloration, or damage. It's clear they were well cared for by the original owner in NY who just upgraded to a set of uber expensive Sonus Faber speakers. 

SkyFi Technical Notes:
Every driver is absolutely perfect and they were tested in our listening room where they impressed every one of us here. Particularly with the Pink Floyd station we asked Tidal Hi-Res to play featuring amazing clarity, space, and musicality on tracks we know super well.

Included with your purchase are both grills, plus speaker terminal jumpers so you can choose between single and bi-wire.

Each speaker has installed feet which are also included with your purchase.
