FS : ER18MTM ribbon version - $750

[capricious]

With a heavy heart, i'm putting my favorite speaker on sale. With an infant (soon to be 1) son at home, and having lost my game room to nursery, i've not had a chance to listen to them in sometime. I've been listening to music late at night on my headphones and on near field studio monitors ... and don't see myself using floorstanders for some time in the near future. So here is your chance to get a fabulous pair of MTM floorstanders (ribbon tweeters) designed by Dennis Murphy.

They are near full range, and sound very very good. Many a time, i thought of building something new, but could never get myself to do it because i don't think whatever i build can be that much better than these for the money. These speakers are really that good.

I'll put up some pictures shortly. They are finished in real veneer and have hardwood baffle.

I'm located in 75025 (Plano, TX), and would greatly prefer a local pickup for obvious reasons (no packing material, and these are not exactly light weight). I can meet the buyer within a 100 mile radius of DFW.

Asking for $750.00

Where are you located and do you need local pick-up only?

These are great speakers and I'm sure they'll find a good home.

Thanks for bringing it to my notice, Kurt.
I've updated my post to reflect my location (75025), and will greatly prefer local pickup.

It's all about that treble ... 'bout that treble.

It's a good thing these are in Texas, otherwise who knows what mischief you'd get yourself into bored at home with nothing to do.

I remember how hard you worked on them. Good luck selling them. Remember to tell people, these speakers were designed by Dennis Murphy and perform somewhere between Salk SongTowers and Salk Veracity HT2-TLs.

A photo or two helps. Is this yours?

 

[Alex2507]

I was just thinking I'm glad there weren't any pictures.

So, who's near Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX? These are excellent Dennis Murphy-designed tower speakers for less than the price of new Philharmonitors.

I expect Isiberian and paradigmdawg to be soon racing to Plano, cash in their hands. Slipbidness, how about you? I forget where you are in TX.

 

[its phillip]

I'm in the area and would be very interested but I'm trying to be good and save for a down payment on a house

Yeah, I'm Central TX, probly 4 hours away.

Wheels.....are.....turning.....

I want them, I just haven't been able to justify it yet. I do already own the Philharmonitors though.

Hmmm, sell my GE T2s and replace with ER18s, probably not the worst decision I would ever make.

Just on looks alone these are a must have and Dennis being involved that just makes it even better to mine ears.

 

[capricious]

Thanks, Swerd! Yes, those are mine. Thanks for putting up a pic. I have made some minor changes to the base in that, i doubled the thickness. I find them looking better this way. I'll take a couple of pics and put them up today.

I wish I lived closer, at least in the same country I would be all over this.







Yes I know I already have a pair I built myself.....

Gorgeous ! Anyone who lives in 5-6 hours driving distance is a fool not to grab these

I wish I lived closer. I just sold my 5.0 Arx speakers and looking for a new system.

 

[jinjuku]

Wish I was close. $750 is an insane bargain.

Thanks for all the good words, guys! These speakers are indeed special.
Still available. I can look into shipping if the buyer pays for shipping and packing.

I think it goes without saying you need to look into packing costs

It is good that you don't live in Europe, I would have to buy those off you if you did! Hah! Really nice looking speakers and I bet they sound good as well.
