KRK V88 studio reference monitors (pair): $2000 in BELGRAVE, Victoria for sale

As reluctant as I am to advertise on Australialisted after being hit by so many spammers the last time, I thought I'd give it another shot and see if there are any genuine musicians/producers/engineers who are in the market for these very rare, high quality studio monitors. So here goes:
KRK V88 (pair)
Pair of very high quality professional studio monitors with dual 8” LF drivers
The frequency response is 39 to 23k Hz, +2 dB.
Each enclosure has two 8-inch woven Kevlar drivers wired in parallel and powered by a 160-watt amp and a 1.25-inch polymer dome tweeter fitted with an excellent elliptical waveguide and driven by a 60-watt amp.
The Neutrik Combo XLR/TRS input connector on the rear panel is active and balanced, and handles an unbalanced signal as well.
The crossover uses three-way active filters and a 2.3kHz crossover point.
A three-position switch adjusts the HF shelving at 1 kHz to flat, ±1 dB.
A three-position LF toggle has a -3dB corner frequency cut at 39, 47 or 55 Hz.
An overall system gain/trim input sensitivity pot has a -30 dB to +6 dB range.
The power switch is delayed and muted to avoid power-up/down thumps.
Both are still in their original boxes and have very minimal surface wear from being moved several times when relocating.
Original price was around $2,000 each!
Brilliant for rock or dance music where bottom end clarity and feel is vital but also translates well to other genres.
Reason for sale – These monitors are better suited for mid-field monitoring applications or anywhere they can be played louder than I am able to for normal use. They absolutely pound! No sub woofer required for use in most rooms. Highly recommend you have an acoustically treated room to play these in as the low end will take off otherwise.

The first thing I expected from the V88s was increased LF response. The bass was full and deep, yet the mids and highs made the biggest initial impression. Listening to familiar material, songs seemed to “open up,” and — as clichéd as this may sound — I found myself saying things like, “Oh, there is an organ part in this tune!”
The V88s are loud! But determining exactly how loud is a mystery. The manual rates the maximum 1m SPL at 112dB “music” and 115dB “peak.”
That being said, these things are louder than you could possibly ever want, or need! I couldn't turn them up enough to overload the drivers or amps without risking deafness.
I like the fact that, unlike some powered monitors, the V88s do not have an input limiter. You might blow the drivers or your ears, or burn up the fuses, but not trigger a limiter. Because there is an input gain trim, you should be able to hear the speakers overload and correct the problem before you have the input mush out. This is the correct way to design a powered monitor.
