For sale are a pair of sealed enclosure SD Acoustics SD1 speakers.
These speakers were shown at the recent WAM show in Barnsley by Lawrence001. They were my favourite sounding speakers at the show and Lawrence said that a number of people had commented favourably at the show after hearing them. After chatting to Lawrence he said that he was selling them as he had too many pairs of speakers and so I bought them from him.
I recently tried a pair of Yamaha NS1000m speakers and to my ears the SD1s sound as good as the Yamaha speakers. I felt that the NS1000s were slightly more analytical whereas I felt that the SD1s have a slightly more forgiving nature that I could listen to for hours.
So why am I selling? Well, after having got them home they are are bit big for our living room and SWMBO has decided that they have to go and so for the sake of marital harmony I've decided to sell.
Price is £395 including a spare pair of tweeters and the speaker grills.
This is the same price that I paid to Lawrence so I'm just looking to re-coup my costs. These speakers are a bargain IMO - in addition to the NS1000s I've auditioned new speakers around the £3k to £4k mark from Sonus Faber, Spendor, ATC and Dynaudio in the last twelve months and I can honestly say that all of them had strength and weaknesses but I can't imagine that you'd find many speakers that are better for £395 than the SD1s.
I don't have boxes for these so collection only from Cheshire area.
Thanks
