3x JTR Noesis 228HT for sale in Massachusetts, but willing to split the cost of shipping.
Another Price Drop! Looking to get $2,900 for the set of three.
I've had someone in the past interested in just a single 228HT, so if someone else is interested in a pair the price would be $2,000.
Brand new this set would be about $4,750. ($3900+$675 Black Oak Veneer upgrade +$175 Shipping.... Jeff dropped the price of the 228HTs by $100/speaker, so a new set would now be about $4,450)
I bought these new, directly from Jeff at JTR in 2014 and they have the metal wave guide (which some JTR owners including myself prefer over the newer wooden style horn with different dispersion pattern) and full-length grill (Better for WAF than the two piece grills on the newer models). They are in very good condition, with the exception of two small nicks on the back edge/ back bottom corner from moving but you can only see it if you are standing very close and looking for it.
The JTR 228HTs have a well deserved reputation for being great for both movies and music on these forums. This particular model with the metal wave guide did extremely well against other great speakers in this shootout: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/155-d...nley-sm60f-fusion15-jtr-228-seaton-cat8c.html
With 228s as LCR I get the wonderful audio quality I've been chasing: the clarity of dialogue in movies, the fine details in music, and just damn good sound. Amazing dynamic sound when watching movies, as well as clarity while listening/ watching at low volumes, which I feel is an important aspect often overlooked.
I think $2,900 is a steal, considering new would be $4,750. (now $4,450) The Black Oak veneer is a big step up in appearance, and worth the extra cost over the standard finish, IMO. I discounted these significantly because they aren't being used now that I've upgraded to JTR 215RTs/RM.
While I prefer local pickup and happy to give a demo, I don't mind shipping either as I have the original boxes and shipping material that fits like a glove. Please see attached pictures; the first 3 pictures are from 2014 when I first got them, but the other pictures are very recent. In the picture with the back edge next to the curtain, you can see a tiny nick from moving if you look very closely at the top quarter of the speaker edge. I'd be happy to skype or facetime for further inspection of the speakers if you would like them shipped.
I tried getting estimates (With the estimated value of $3100 and all the specific weight and dimensions of the 3 boxes entered) from Fedex, UPS, and Uship.com and Fedex Ground is consistently the cheapest. For the zip codes I've looked up so far, it usually falls between $111 (Philly)-$207 (CA)
67lbs/ box. 31x19x17" dimensions boxed up, 26x14x12.25" -speaker dimensions
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
