FS: Auteur Classic Blackwood

This was a really hard call, I love both the sound and look of these Auteurs and put a lot of money into getting them fixed up and upgraded. I'm selling because I find Blackwood too heavy for extended listening and the Atrium satisfies the same need in my lineup (there are differences between the two of course). And I probably shouldn't hoard though it is really hard when headphones are this beautiful.

I posted some pics when I got these after refurbishing in the beginning on this thread. These basically became new headphones in June 2022, everything but the cups was replaced and the cups were refinished. They've had very mild use since then.



Thread where I purchased them.

• Condition is very close to new
• Suede headband and strap, crescent headband
  
• Magnesium chassis
• Two sets of pads included (suede Eikon perf and suede Auteur), Auteur pads barely used
• Stock cable terminated XLR, OFC cable included and terminated XLR
• Salire stand included
  
• ZMF case

Friends: $1475
Contributors: $1500
Everyone else: $1600
CONUS shipping is included in the price, please add an appropriate percentage depending on how you're paying (3.5% for PayPal G&S for example).

I'll post these on other large sites after they've been here for a little bit so SBAF has the first chance at them.

If there are any concerns about flipping, please remember I had them completely refurbished and upgraded. I am taking a loss as tends to happen with audio gear.

 

Great seller, beautiful headphones I have seen in person…GLWS!

 

Damn classy looking.

 

Reasonable offers will be considered, lowball offers will get a middle finger.
