They were in perfect condition. already sold . they are HUGE the guy who owned them was driving with 2 pairs of Krell KAS monoblocks, but he is getting old, so he traded them in on a pair of Wilsons and kept one pair of the KAS. http://www.reality-audio.com/the_grand.html How did they sound?

I may may be interpreting 'Spectacular Speakers' incorrectly, but in my mind, they must be visually arresting/pleasing etc. and I would hope they sound as good as they look! Make up your own mind, do they fit in this thread? (The pair above = my favs!) Kind regards, Michael I like the look of Horns and accept how they sound for what they are!!! 2

Mushroom01 Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Anyone who thinks a single-driver loudspeaker lacks low-frequency delivery has simply never experienced our award-winning 9.87 System. This modular hybrid active system consists of two units coupled together to perform seamlessly as one. On top is our acclaimed second-gen passive Pi monitor that can be ordered with drivers of your choice. On the bottom is the mighty Pi-Bass. A woofer extension system that combines the Ripol® speaker design philosophy with our proprietary Acoustic Stealth Technology®. The result is a fully open system that moves close to zero air volume allowing for free placement within a room. The lower Pi-Bass module is equipped with 2 x 96dB neodymium woofers each (=99dB). These woofers are extremely fast and are driven by a 250W class A/B plate amp tuned by our electronics team. Given this unique combination, this system runs semi-active in that the Pi monitors on top need no crossover and are fed directly from the high-level speaker cable taps from a complimentary amplifier like our Voxativ T-211 Integrated (the perfect pairing). The bottom Pi-Bass woofer module has it's own amplifier and can be driven up to an onboard crossover setting of 120 Hz (recommended) with a full range of EQ to blend into any room. We suggest a line-level RCA connection from your preamp to the Pi-Bass for highest fidelity (although a high-level speaker cable connection is also possible.) The result is the most powerful full-range system the industry has ever experienced linear down to 20Hz in low-frequency slam. >> TECHNICAL DATA Frequency Response 20 - 20.000 Hz Driver VOXATIV AC-PiFe or others Efficiency max. 110 dB / 1W / 1 m Capacity 50 W sinus Dimensions (W x H x D) 16 x 47 x 16" (40x120x40cm) Color Piano Finish, white or black Weight 150 lbs (67kg) 1
Grant Slack Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 I can't help smiling, guys, when I read blurb that spins as hard as Voxativ's. The first line is a cracker. Then it gets worse! cheers Grant 1
