Neat 2-way floor standers back when AVI made real speakers. In very good condition except for two repaired nicks on the top edge of one.
Have been instructed to clear some kit out so decided these need to be moved on. €220.
Similar size to Spendor A5's but warmer voicing.

See link for details

My first decent speakers but now gone to a new home. Hope the new owner has many years of enjoyment

Hi tony,

Have you a photo of the veneer color.... It has been suggested that my maple finish is unacceptable in the new house, rosewood might work as a stopgap!!!!

Hi Jaybee, The rosewood is a really nice colour. working tomorrow and sunday for long hours but if I take a photo and manage to upload it will do.
Always struggled on that my camera is a panasonic lumix and it uses rw3( I think) format which needs to be converted to jpg and then I have to figure out how to upload it somewhere! Whereabouts are you as it might be easier if you are local?
Surely it is how they sound that matters!!

Ah thank god for ebay! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AVI-Gravitron ... 7675.l2557

They are not the speakers but that is the veneer type maybe a bit duller looking in the flesh.

Why not get the OWMBO's favourite colour choice and make it so, a bit of masking tape + primer + spray paint = your speakers + her colours = bliss

I had thought about trying to re-stain; but thought it'd end up a bit of a hames of a job!
