Product Photos:

Description:

Beautiful Pomelle wood with the "guitar" finish around the edges. I have more photos. Some of these photos are distorted after running through PhotoImpact quickly and lazily.

For sale and nearly mint as prototypes go. Have to give them an 8 I guess for one small scratch at the peak of one speaker seen in photos. We'll get that patched up at the factory at shipping time so they can bump up to a 10.

Essentially new as they were demo'd at one show then back to the shop where they gathered dust until I took them home.

As prototypes they have some different drivers than now offered in the standard production units. (The cabinets prevent modifying to the new configuration with ribbon tweeter.) There is no factory warranty, but knowing Jim, if you have a problem down the road he'll do what he can to remedy the situation at minimal cost to you.

Grills included (magnetic), silver spikes, and single run speaker wire capability on these. Dennis Murphy crossover!!

The drivers in this pair are:

midrange is a 6.5" PHL
tweeter is a Morel dome tweeter MD33
woofer is a Lambda TD12H

Open (of course) sound for an open baffle speaker. Dang good bass given the high efficiency. The bass is tight.

The dome tweeter is all-encompassing and extremely efficient so it easily does its thing. It gives up nothing to a ribbon and in my experience produces more top end than you can imagine.

Midrange is super duper and dead on. Has good guttural feel on alto saxophone and string bass.

Imaging is exceptional and the soundstage is wide. As is typical with all Salk speakers, you will not be disappointed. With any luck I can move on to another pair of Salks once this sale is complete.

Shipping will be through the factory and at a better rate than I could offer. I believe FedEx is their preferred carrier.

Price is $2800. List on standard pair is in the $4k area.
