Sorcerer

April 12th, 2012

Higher end, near field monitors. Same later variants appear to have the tweeter mounted below the bass driver i.e. the cabinet has seemingly been turned upside down. Possibly a forerunner to the SE model. The SE was a big step up as it was fitted with the same bass driver as the Revelation range.

Retailed for about £600 in 1995. Todays price is hard to place due to rarity, but a pair with half knackered bass drivers fetched £102 on ebay April ’09, whilst a pair in very good condition went for £260 in June ’11.
