    For sale is my pair of Consonance Barque M12 mk.1 horn speakers that cost 5.000 GBPs new. They were Alium Audio's demo units.
    They have light scratches and one of the woofers has had the dust cap repaired (it was damaged when owned by Alium Audio).

    Frequency range: 38 Hz - 20 kHz
    Nominal impedance:
    Sensitivity: 97dB
    Drive units12" paper cone Woofer, cloth surround, aluminum diecast basket ; 1" titan compression driver, neodymium magnet
    Horn: TAD-like 500 Hz horn, 90 degree dispersion
    Crossover frequency: 1000 Hz (originally crossed at 500Hz)
    Dimensions: 95 x 43 x 50 mm (H*W*D)
    Net weight: 35kg (50kg boxed)

    Soundstage Review link

    I have replaced the internal cabling, added Visaton damping lamb's wool and ordered the crossover of the mk.2 version from Consonance. All modifications are reversible.

    I have also added a pair of Visaton TL16H horn tweeters that cost 138.5 GBPs each.

    Price: 2.225 GBPs including shipping from Lisbon
    Price with Visaton tweeters: 2.520 GBPs including shipping from Lisbon

    Consonance M12 horn speakers

    Hi Tuga, interesting speakers that are just crying out to be mated with my single ended triode tube amps. How about shipping to Denmark ? Have you got the original packaging ? Is the price of 1650 GBP including the super tweeters ? and could you please send me a photo of the woofer with the damaged dust cap. Thanks in advance and best regards Jim

    I hate to say it, but he one thing you've not yet gone for is a cheap package including the Super Tweeters and shipping. I bet they'd go then.

    I'd have had them if I had the room mate, as at your fair price they are worth having. :)

    I would sell them for 1800 GBP including the tweeters and the crossovers...
    Considering the tweeters alone would cost 320 GBP I think it's a fair price.

    im trying to find out more about these speakers, and their suitability for my room/amp :)

    can you tell me more about them sound wise? what type of room do they need, what sort of sonic signature do they have?

    Do they handle high volume levels well? (well.. high ish?)

    where are you based?

    Hello Shrink,

    I don't really agree with everything this reviewer says but since I'm not very good at describing sound (who is :rolleyes:) maybe you could read his thoughts on the larger M-15s:

    http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/opera_m15_e.html

    They do play loud and are an easy load.
    For orchestral music they could do better, this is why I added the tweeter and I would rather have two drivers covering the <1000 Hz range as well. That's what I plan to upgrade to (4 way).
    Bass doesn't go as low as one would expect from such big boxes but it's fine nonetheless. Great with jazz.
    I live in Lisbon.

    Cheers,
    Ricardo
