This pair of MONITOR AUDIO MA4 speakers are in very good condition considering their age. The teak veneer cabinets could do with a polish as there are some slight marks on one of them. Although they could be used on the floor or on shelves they were intended to be on stands or plinths. As they are quite large and heavy, and we don't have the original packaging, local collection or delivery would be preferable.
The Monitor Audio MA4 is a vintage British loudspeaker model, known for its high power handling, extended frequency response, and low coloration. These speakers, released in the 1970s, are often praised for their detailed and effortless sound, typical of British monitors from that era. They feature a KEF B200 - SP1039 bass/mid driver, the same found in the legendary KEF 104 and 104aB.
