Any thoughts on Osborne grand monument?


Someone mentioned these speakers to me and I was shocked to see they weighed almost 380 lbs per channel. They seem to be normal box speakers made in australia. I think latest version uses scanspeak drivers? Any thoughts on these?

Good wood is heavy. That's what she said. When you add in poly or lacquer layers plus the weight of the drivers, bracing it really isn't surprising.

Great speakers, 32mm thick MDF and lead lined cabinets which makes them inert but extremely heavy (I would hate to think what it would cost to ship to the US).

 

Shipping is the easy part!

Would love to hear them ... apparently the GMs are lead-lined.

Lead lining in the speaker seems a bit weird. Surely there are safer materials for inertness ?

Obviously not RoHS compliant! I wonder if there are xtra fees involved with that?
