You don't see Marantz Imperial 8 speakers every day, and this is a very nice pair with the original stands, instruction sheets, and boxes (see photos).
Each 3-way speaker has 1 12" woofer, 3 3.25" midrange drivers, and 2 tweeters. The woofers and midrange drivers have all been refoamed (see photos). All drivers are working - I'm not aware of any performance problems. The dust covers on 2 tweeters are pushed in (see photos), but that doesn't affect the sound o...r performance.
The cases are in very good condition. They were a bit sun faded and dusty with a few water stains. They're not perfect with some dust and a few scuffs and stains still faintly visible (see photos), but they are in very good condition.
The original speaker stands have also been cleaned up.
The original brown speaker grill foam has long since rotted away. The original masonite grill boards have been covered with black fabric and velcro spacers have been added to refurbish the speaker grills (see photos).
These are sturdy speakers - they weight 61 pounds each.
Includes a pair of Marantz Imperial 8 speakers with grills, stands, original instruction sheets, and original boxes as pictured.
Due to age, sold AS-IS for use as-is, parts, or repair. No returns.
Local pickup (cash only) or ships carefully packed. I try to ship the day after payment (or the day of) whenever possible, but sometimes it takes 4-5 business days to ship. If the $200 shipping doesn't cover the shipping costs (it should cover the continental US, but these are big heavy boxes) additional shipping fees may be charged.
