For Sale: a pair of Vandersteen 3A Signature speakers with black cloth and light oak endcaps, serial numbers 5030A and 5031A. These include the stands and original boxes.I am the second owner. The original owner was local to me and bought these from a local high-end stereo shop that is no longer in business. They are in excellent/mint condition, 9/10 (assuming 10/10 is new-in-box). The cloth is in amazing condition, with no pilling, pulls, tears, looseness, discoloration, stains, etc. The walnut end caps appear to be perfect, no scratches or damage or discoloration of any kind. The only small blemish I can find is a small scratch on the metal plate just above the bass cable terminals on the back of 5030A. The previous owner and I both kept these in finished basements where they were not exposed to sunlight, pets, or smoke. They were always used gently and with high-end equipment (i.e., no underpowered, clipping amps or other abusive types of use). Even the factory shipping boxes are in great condition. I figure anybody here knows about these speakers. I honestly thought I would have these speakers forever – they are that good, and getting anything new that’s better would probably take a five-figure expenditure. However, I got a deal I couldn’t refuse from a close friend on some Vandersteen Quatros, so these 3A Sigs need a new home. These same speakers sell new for $5774 with the stands, and they are still considered a strong value at that price. I am local to the St. Louis, MO area. Locals with serious interest are welcome to listen to them at my house. I _might_ be able to meet someone within a couple hours of my residence, or possibly even deliver them to someone in Dallas, Austin, or Houston (with full payment ahead of time). I am willing to ship at the buyer's expense and arrangement: these must be shipped via freight, standing upright. Each speaker is close to 100lbs when boxed, and there will need to be a third box for the stands. I'm asking $1500.
