Awesome flagship of the 700 series of yesteryear.
Condition: All midrange & woofers are in excellent condition as is one tweeter. One tweeter has the B&W tweeter crinkle, doesn’t affect sound, and is not torn and no holes, just the crinkle. Rubber housing around tweeters has perished, which is also a common B&W thing. Cabinets has blemishes due to age. I cleaned and oiled them and overall they still look great IMHO. No bridge plates, but good speaker cable used to bridge speaker terminals. With original rubber feet. Grills are in excellent condition, as are tweeter covers. Having said all that, still great speakers with the B&W finesse that won a great fan base.
Asking R15,750, firm for now. Still fetching quite a bit more overseas. Collect & audition in Humewood, Port Elizabeth. I will pack very well for free. Couriered at buyer’s E&R.

Once you own a pair, you realise that you will have to pay a lot more on the second hand market to beat these.
Please do your homework on these.
