Selling these excellent condition Monitor Audio Silver 9i tower speakers. I just purchased these from an Audiogon member about 11 months ago and I have really enjoyed them in my bedroom system but I recently picked up a set of larger towers for that system, so these are up for grabs. Rated 8/10 for age and as there is a very small "dent" in the wood on top of one of them, as well as a very small area about 1/4 inch across that is slightly faded due to something that got onto the veneer. I took a picture of the top of that speaker, but it did not show up in the pic. You will never see this from more than 3 or 4 feet away. There are also a couple of "bubbles" in the veneer on the right side of one of the speakers. I'd say they are about 1/2" or less in diameter, but are not raised even one millimeter. As you can see in the pics, from the front these speakers are at least 9/10.
They have a sealed port and cavity at the bottom of the cabinet which Monitor recommends filling with sand. I currently do have them filled so there will probably be a small amount of left over sand in there as it will be impossible to completely remove all traces of it. I had them hooked up without the sand and decided to try it and it really was a huge improvement in tightness and mid-range clarity.
The grills will be included (like new) as well as the aluminum dome tweeter covers which monitor also recommends removing but they will be shipped installed for protection. This will also include the base plinths and spikes, which are both in excellent condition.
I will drive up to two hours to deliver in DFW, or to meet between DFW and Houston area.
