Confirmed with Pear, mk 1’s for sure. Mk 2’s started around 2010, these are 05 vintage.

Probably sold to them as Mk2.

Didn’t sell first time around, back on, now advertised as mk1, with a 500 quid reduction. Still over priced IMHO

Fair enough, but these aren't really Mark Is either. This was kind of an interim version between the Mark I and Mark II with performance much closer to the latter. The true Mark I had a recessed and much bigger tweeter surround and, I believe less sturdy cabinets and different bass driver. The sound was much less refined by all accounts, hard to drive and a bit shouty. I owned this exact version and an audition vs the Mark II didn't make me want to switch for the extra cash.

PS I sold mine for half what they are asking, bought some Cheviots for a third of what they're asking and have never looked back.
