These are extremely rare and only made 1 year.These are in good condition, and the woofers were re-foamed by the previous owner. They are fully tested and sound impressive. They do have some signs of age and use, but still extremely presentable. Please look very carefully at all the pictures for their exact condition. I have cut and pasted a review and the specs below.eagertrader AudioPhileStrength: Quality sound and impeccable finish. Great looks. Give them decent quality electronics ...such as Yamaha, Onkyo, Denon or better, and you'll be highly rewarded.Weakness: For the money I could not find any.This review is for a pair of ADVENT LAUREATE. For their price point, they are solid performers: thight and satisfying bass, convincing middles and crisp highs. Good soundstage and accuracy. Outstanding imaging, especially for the money. At home w/classical music or rock. Warm and detailed sound, especially reproducing voices.

Yes, the shipping cost is a little high, But they are pretty large, will weigh about 50 lbs. each when packed properly for shipping, It does require a lot of packaging and time to get them done right. I think it's worth a few extra bucks, because they can't be replaced. A note for you eBay global customers: ( I will get them to your door safely and insured.)P.S. My posted shipping price is always the total for the pair!!I pride myself on extreme over protective packaging. ( Please see my feedback! ) I will only ship to the 48 contiguous states and I encourage eBay global shipping. Payment is expected in 48 hours of purchase and on the same token they will ship on the next business day. If you need more time, just send a message and we will work something out.
