Renown Vandersteen Quatro speakers with the the fabric cover option (not wood).
Very well cared for with little signs of use.
The Quatro is a full-range speaker with built-in amplifiers for the lower bass drivers.
MSRP in the early 2000's was $6995.
These are highly reviewed, be sure to look them up if you're not familiar.
Included with your purchase are two M5-HP ($595) required in-line unbalanced high pass filters with AudioQuest cabling and terminations. You will need an amplifier capable of RCA connections.
Both 9V batteries in the external M5-HP filters were changed and according to the manual should be good for another 7 years.
Tested in our listening room with a set of serious Mark Levinson No. 436 monoblocks where they performed flawlessly.
This is a complete set including all of the original packing, super sturdy shipping cartons, original packing, manual, accessories, etc.
From a Stereophile review by Michael Fremer:
"The Quatro—like all of Richard Vandersteen's speakers—is designed to retrieve as much recorded information as possible by providing phase and time coherence, as well as reliably flat amplitude response at the listening position. We'll see if JA's measurements fulfill that promise.
I found the Quatros' sonic picture extraordinarily detailed and musically convincing, and thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. I also found myself often watching and listening from the outside—enjoying, observing, and admiring, but not particularly engaged emotionally on a visceral level.
Overall, however, the Quatro struck me as accomplished sounding and impeccably designed, and almost a full-range loudspeaker. Considering its price of $7590/pair with in-line filters, it's also an incredible value—if not the greatest value in a loudspeaker that I can think of today."
