B&W Matrix 801 Series 3 Walnut - Stunning Speakers; Bass Filter; Stands; Boxes

Functional Notes: These speakers are in perfect working order. They are coming from the original owner who was absolutely meticulous with his system. In fact, he had his wife sew custom cloth covers for these which you can see in the pictures. Whenever these were not in use, they were covered with these soft, fitted covers. The owner's listening room had a large humidifier that was set to the optimal condition for his equipment. The speakers were driven by 2 Adcom 300w per channel monoblocks and an Aragaon 4004 ii amplifier - a total of 500 watts per channel. These were owned by a true audiophile who treated these with the care they deserve.

Included with this sale: 2 speakers, matching Sound Anchor stands, floor spikes, custom fitted covers, matching high-pass alignment filter, original owners manuals for everything, original sales receipt, several old issues of Stereophile magazine featuring reviews of this model, all original factory packaging

Cosmetic condition rating is excellent - absolutely stunning condition. The finish on these speakers still has that brand new sheen. The grill cloth doesn't even have any dust in it. Unless you can find a set of these that has never been removed from the box, you simply will not find a set in better condition. There is one very tiny, nearly invisible blemish on the front of one cabinet near the bottom. There are a couple of very tiny holes forming in the top grill cloth right at the back corners. Otherwise, the speakers are absolutely perfect. The only other cosmetic issue of note is some corrosion on the metal stands which is shown in the photos. These could easily be painted black to get them back to looking like new.

Please view all of our high-resolution photos for full details of the cosmetic condition as well as exactly what is included. If something is not clear, please inquire with us prior to purchase. This rating is based on the very conservative Audiogon rating scale as shown below.
