FS: Oak Oil Quartets------$400.00-------SOLD

Recommended Posts

I have for sale my beloved OO Quartets that are in almost mint condition. I hate the term "mint" but these babies are about as close to "mint" as I have personally ever seen when it comes to this genre of speakers. Note the unique saw pattern on the grain. Local pickup price is $400.00 or the same for "reasonable" delivery.

A few reasons for selling:

--Too much gear, need to thin the herd.

--Part of a 2-channel system that gets used seldom and sitting next to RF-63's in the same room.

--RF-63's rule that room.

--Recoupe some $$$ from previous purchase of Cambridge Audio 840C Azur CD player/DAC.

----SPECIAL DEAL----

Buy these Quartets and get the Luxman LV-117 integrated amp for $150.00. Excellent combination IMO.

That’s some great looking cabinets. I like natural
finish on furniture. To have some that are not just oak, but figured oak - wow.
The rays really show in your pictures of the top and left. My Fortes are perfect
and are great looking cabinets, but, to me, those are (because of the figured oak) a
notch above standard cabinets.

Thanks, they are nice.

So, did the "tiger stripes" occur during the cutting or is this a natural phenominon?

Seriously, the cabs are worth $400 alone. They are gorgeous. I am a huge Oak fan and those cabs kill my Fortes. Those have got to be hard to let go of.

You are probably right about the worth of the cabinets.

And yes they are hard to part with. I kind of grow attached to all of my speakers and gear too sometimes.

It’s a combination of phenomenon and the way it’s cut. The
stripes show very prominently when the wood is quarter sawn or in the case of veneer,
sliced. http://www.amishhandcraftedheirlooms.com/quarter-sawn-oak.htm


The cathedral shape grain rarely has the rays with them. I
have read very little about it, and your question has me googling for
information. http://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=10074.0


I’m not sure about it all, nor is anyone else. When I googled
“Birdseye Maple” I read that no one knows why it happens.
