I'm selling my (beloved) pair of B&W 685 S1.
I bought these new from Superfi in Camden Town many a years ago, and got a set of off-brand stands from them as well.
These served me more than right over the years. Love the sound, and have been undisturbed until a few months ago, when a child decided to inspect one of the tweeter domes with their fingers.
Following advice in here I managed to pop the dome back into position. There is no audible difference (at least for >40 years old ears) now that the dome is back into its shape, but there are some scuffing marks on it. See picture.
What happened is that I started scouring eBay for potential replacement tweeters and ended up buying a pair of 684 S2 instead (I always wanted to replace the speakers with towers). As you do.
Sadly the 685 have to go. Hopefully to a loving home
Stands are on spikes.
I have the front grilles (never used them) and the foam bungs, not in the pics as I have to retrieve them from storage space upstairs.
I reinstalled the original bars at the back.
Apart from the tweeter dome scarring, these are in near perfect conditions. I live in a small place, so these have never been abused volume-wise.
They just need some proper dusting, and my cleaning lady clearly has to be fired.
I cannot ship them. Pickup from NW London, but I can put all in the car and meet up to Brent Cross or M1 services a bit up the road.
200 quid including stands.
On eBay towards end of the week.
