Incredible modular design floorstanders from A.R.T audio in scotland.
Original price was £10k plus around 15 years ago.
Beautiful Kevlar drivers. Same as used in the bigger brother the flagship “impression” at the time. Our very own Yoda900 rated these very highly before upgrading to the bigger Impressions himself
Crossover Hand wound copper air core Inductors and Clarity cap custom made SA series capacitors
Internal Wiring Premium quality OFC copper internal wiring
Binding Posts WBT Platinum Plated input terminals
Just back from repair by ART, as one tweeter needing fixing, and on route the mid / bass driver of the monitor packed up possibly due to being thrown around in transit. So the driver had to be sent back to the French driver manufacturer for a complete rebuild
They are now tip top and ready for sale - purely because they are too big for my front room really so I went with some smaller active stand mounts.
Beautiful looking and sounding speakers - really unique design with top mounted ports in the monitor and the bass unit.
Some small marks to the stunning gloss gunmetal grey finish commensurate with age - nothing noticeable in situ, and nothing I would class as damage, just small chips / marks to the paintwork, ones in view have been painted over, couple of bare ones on the rear. Ones on front pictured below - penultimate is the worst but honestly you have to try hard to see it from the listening chair)
Have them set back up to test and sounding sublime with my devialet amps, but I hear they are particularly well suited to valves as well.
And unless you are into organ music and in desperate need of the lowest of the low frequencies you won’t be needing a sub with these bad boys. I tried and it just wasn’t worth it for music.
Asking for £2,250 collected please considering the recent service bill!
Could me somewhere fairly close to Portslade nr Brighton
Let me know of any questions
Kind regards
