Anyone know any info on these rrp where they stood in arts range etc Art Prestige 6 floorstanding speakers - stunning high end speakers | eBay
Thanks for your time and effort , i have heard some deco 6 and 8s and liked them but cant find any info on these babys and where they stood in there range and rrp , nor any reviews .I’d guess the retail was c.£5k but not many paid full price. The ‘6’ denotes a 6” bass unit. These for example are 10” https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255033002678?hash=item3b6126cab6:g:MJEAAOSwqvZg2dUb and probably 3-way.
I have a pair of ART Nouveau 8 (8” 3-way) which retailed at £8250 and like mine, those you’re enquiring after almost certainly have a downward firing port which makes them easier to place in a room.
ARTs, especially the bigger iterations, tend to sell on for around 25% of RRP which means a bargain for someone.
Polar Bear who used to mod here had Deco 20s (4-way with 2x10” drivers per cab) and he bought them having auditioned Kudos Titans (and others).

The point of the link was Prestige not being model. I wasn't suggesting they were Stilletos - they look like this:DEF are prestige 6 not stilleto 3 are a completley different speaker and are easy to find info on . pictures of prestige 6 below google stilleto v3 completely different

its a strange one for sure hopefully someone on wam might knowPictures of the rear of the Alnico model say 'Alnico' on them though, so definitely not those.
Contact Derek and Ramsay .. they did a few models in the same or similar cabinets to the Alnico using other SEAS drive units .. then they tried the Alnico speakers I think and did those as well. Using what looks like the Stiletto 6 drivers in a bigger cabinet .. For the money being asked I would get my ears around them if you can .. but do not expect earth quake bass. The advantage with these over the Stilettos is a more solid airolam cabinet (I think) and the thick aluminium face plate to mount the drivers to ensure the baffle board is totally rigid.I hope so as I'm intrigued now too . @uzzy is the only Wammer I can think of right now with ART speakers, but not these.
