Perhaps they were showpieces - for your eyes only.
Maybe they were kept in the box when being used by the guy ...

I wonder if the amps are unused too? The mind boggles.

He’s being unusing his hifi , I can see why he’s not happy and is selling it.

Cambridge Dictionary:

unused - not being used at present, or never having been used

I might have some unused stuff around here!

Now that might explain all the cases where people complained about "boxy" sounding speakers.

Could be but can’t blame them for wanting to keep them ‘ unused’ , connecting the speaker cable must be a right bastard.

My cars done 58000 Miles , if I drive it backwards for 58000 Miles will it become ‘unused ‘?

I think I’m going to ask Keith to write my tinder profile ..

So they are unused but not unused?.


That one caught my eye also
First post says unused just open box to check condition
Now just used with a Benchmark amp for a indeterminate time?
I'm so confused.

They are amphibious over there. Can do metric and Imperial measures.

One big advantage to metric is one of my cars can do almost 300. ;)

The Revels have just been opened to check condition they are new and unused.
The Benchmarks have been used with another pair of piano black Salon 2’s which are not for sale.

Beautiful speakers, beautiful sound, beautiful review, beautiful price.
An exemplary state-of-the-art audio bargain back then and still almost today.
Full range too, and can be complimented with three or four subs in a home theater setting plus nine more speakers. Class A
