Been loving these for 5 years. They are in excellent condition. I'm including pretty rare Foundation open stands which in my opinion really suit the look of the speakers. The grilles are new. Neither I nor the previous owner used them.I don't see a blemish on them but two caveats: The binding posts have some pitting because we live near the ocean and there's a faint smell to the speakers when you play loud and the woofers get pumping. Nothing you can smell day to day, just something you can smell if you get close and it's playing loud for a long time. Not cigarette smoke. More like old house, but sweeter. The Harbeth dealer that sold them to me said the speakers were owned by a Stereophile reviewer before me. He couldn't understand the smell either. I did some research and other Harbeth owners mention a smell sometimes. Just want full disclosure. It has never been an issue for me. There are three boxes, two that weigh 34lbs and 1 that weighs 20lbs. Speakers are double boxed in original boxes and have the original inserts. Boxes are approximately 15x15x27.
