Further Information:
For sale is a pair of quite rare, custom-made WAR Audio speakers by Pat O'Brien. These were originally made in WA, brought to Adelaide by an SNA member and ended up at my place, where they've been for around 18 months. They are in excellent functional condition and are quite easily the most detailed and revealing speakers I have ever owned.
There is little info on these as they seem to be a custom design, made to a high standard using high quality parts, including Raven metal tweeters and PHL drivers for the mids and woofers. Cabinet construction is rock hard.
Efficiency 90db/W/m. Frequency range extends to 40kHz and Pat O’Brien designer/builder says flat down to 40Hz. These are very revealing and musical speakers and quite easy to drive and front ported so can place near a rear wall.
Physical dimensions are 114cm tall, 30cm wide and 25cm deep. I estimate weight to be around 40 - 50 kgs. These have their own built-in plinth.
Sound is very clean, highly detailed and nuanced, with superb instrument separation. Tonal character and timbre with voicing is accurate and precise but not lean. Judicious matching with source and amp yields great results.
Interstate purchasers please note that I don't have any boxes / pallets for these so a long journey would need to be well-planned. I'm happy to help with any local transfers.
