Wow, this guy has great gear and is getting rid of it. Too bad I'm going to the Niners game, otherwise I would jump all over these, especially for $12.50:D

For sale from a private owner and music lover in Portola Valley, CA is a rare and outstanding package of perfectly combined high end stereo components, all purchased from the same store in Palo Alto in the mid and late 90ies.

1. Two B & W Nautilus Speakers 802, mahagony & black, 500W 8Ω (new $15,000), Made in England, possibly one of the best speakers in the world, from Jazz and Rock to classical music perfect for all styles alike. http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/
2. Mark Levinson 380 S (Madrigal Audio Labs) Pre Amp, black (new $5000), one of the best preamps series ever made and still a landmark today, http://www.marklevinson.com/
3. Bryston 4B Solid State Main Amp 1500W, black (new $2000), basically still made today in a modernized version and perfect to power the Nautilus speakers, Made in Canada, http://bryston.com/
4. TARA Labs 3ft. Cable with Chassis Ground Station T352 (new around $1000), very special cable to connect the two amps, http://taralabs.com/

Optional addition:
5. California Audio Labs (CAL) Delta CD Player with Sigma Tube DAC processor, black (new $2000)
Here is a citation from another owner: "Smooth, full with great detail, it just wins hands down. I can sit there and ENJOY THE MUSIC for hours on end." http://www.californiaaudiolabs.net/

People who know the scene will be aware of the quality of these components, whose manufacturers are all still in business. Otherwise praise can be found in the diverse online forums. All components are in excellent technical condition and in very good visual condition, except perhaps a minor mark here or there over the time, but nothing major. The speakers are flawless except for a little damage on the corner of one of the covers, which can be easily replaced from the factory. They also come with rolling bases. The equipment has been used in the same place for all its lifetime, in a smaller ballroom size living room of a non smoking household.

Since these components have been combined by experts to a perfect match, we would like to sell as a package in the Bay Area with local pickup, to a serious and appreciative buyer. This is a unique chance for someone who wants to get a State-of-the-Art system, ready to use, by acclaimed brands, somehow vintage but up-to-date, and pay only around half the original price.

Asking $12.500 for the set including all the special cables (from an original price of $23.000), and an extra $1000 for the CAL CD Player Combo

We have two other high end pairs of loudspeakers (flat ones, Apogee and Magnapan) and amp systems for sale off the same property - they are listed separately here on craigslist. All sets are wired and ready for testing.
