Energy C-200B 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers, Pair, Made in Canada
Made in Canada. A very-good-condition pair of Energy C-200B 2-way bookshelf speakers — a mid-size, hand-finished standmount design from Canadian speaker company Energy that combines genuine acoustic excellence with the kind of cabinet aesthetics and build quality usually reserved for considerably more expensive speakers.
If you want a mid-size bookshelf speaker with acoustic excellence, aesthetics with quality, and passion with conviction, the Energy C-200B 2-way bookshelf is for you. Highly skilled workers apply seven layers of high-gloss piano lacquer by hand — a painstaking, time-consuming, and costly finishing process that is genuinely rare at this price point and that gives the C-200B its deep, mirror-finish presentation. It’s the attention to detail and craftsmanship that every Energy speaker receives, regardless of price.
The traditional tweeter faceplate is given an original twist by incorporating a computer-designed phase plug and a protective metal grille. The acoustically transparent cover offers a real measure of physical protection while still showing off the technology behind it. The same visual treatment carries over to the woofer basket and cone, creating the subtle but stimulating visual impact that defines the C-200 family. Acoustically, the chambered 1-inch aluminum-dome Hyperbolic tweeter and the 6.5-inch Composite Fiberglas woofer work harmoniously together, creating a soundstage that extends well beyond the walls of the listening space, with an enormous sense of depth and realism that punches well above the C-200B’s compact footprint.
Power handling is a generous 125 watts RMS, sensitivity is a useful 88 dB anechoic (rising to a real-world 91 dB with the typical room boundary reinforcement of a stereo pair), and the speakers are happy with any quality amplifier from about 25 watts per channel upward. The 8-ohm nominal impedance (4 ohms minimum) is comfortable for any modern integrated amp or AVR.
This particular pair is in very-good cosmetic condition, with the high-gloss piano-black lacquer presenting cleanly and the typical light handling marks consistent with careful use. No significant blemishes to the cabinets, grilles, or drivers.

Bowers & Wilkins WM2 Outdoor Speakers, Pearl White, w/ Brackets
On an outdoor speaker the condition is the whole story — these are almost never retired for how they sound, but for sun turning a white cabinet chalky and yellow, freeze-thaw working at the seams, and grilles blooming with rust. Pearl White shows all of it more plainly than black would, and this pair grades Very Good, factory wall brackets included. B&W did not design a weatherproof box and then find a driver to fit it either: a 130 mm woven fibreglass cone crossed at 3.5 kHz to a 25 mm dome, the same material philosophy as their indoor speakers.
Castle Knight 1 Bookshelf Speakers — Real Wood Cherry, Pair
From a Yorkshire company that spent forty years being known for its cabinets above all else. The cherry veneer is deep-figured real timber, book-matched across the two cabinets so the grain mirrors when they are set up together, then sealed and waxed by hand over more than five days. Underneath is an honest two-way bass-reflex with a 130 mm woven natural-fibre bass/mid driver and five-way binding posts. Very Good condition.
PSB Alpha A/V Shielded Bookshelf Speakers — 6.5″ Woofer, Canada
The final 6.5-inch version of the speaker that made PSB's name — the 1998 Alpha A/V, with the upgraded tweeter, crossover and banana-plug terminals, and magnetic shielding so it can sit right beside a screen. Ninety decibels sensitive, so a modest receiver drives them well. Black ash, graded Very Good, bench-tested here. Pair.
Paradigm Monitor 3 v3 Bookshelf Speakers – 8″ Woofer, Canada
An 8-inch woofer in a cabinet small enough to sit on a stand — a 210 mm ICP cone on a die-cast chassis, with a third-generation titanium dome on the Studio-series waveguide faceplate, crossed at 2.0 kHz. Low frequency extension to 38 Hz and 91 dB room sensitivity, so 15 watts drives them and 150 is just headroom. Built in Canada, in Black Ash. Very good condition.
PSB Century 300i Bookshelf Speakers – 6.5″ Woofer, Canada
MartinLogan Motion 15 Bookshelf Speakers – Folded Motion, Boxed
The reason to want these is the tweeter — MartinLogan's Folded Motion driver is a pleated ribbon rather than a dome, so it squeezes air out from between its pleats and barely has to move. A 5.25-inch aluminium cone below it, 92 dB sensitivity, and the high-gloss black clean of the swirls these show so readily. Original boxes included.
Polk Audio RTi6 Bookshelf Speakers – Real Wood, Bi-Wireable
JBL 62T Bookshelf Speakers – Rosewood Finish, Titanium Dome
Discounted for the aftermarket screw holes a previous owner left in the back panels, and very good everywhere else — original drivers, clean rosewood finish, both tested here. A mid-1980s two-way with a pure titanium tweeter that runs out to 23 kHz, and an easy 89 dB load that a thirty-watt vintage receiver drives properly.
Mission 731 Bookshelf — Made in England, Inverted Driver Design
Two things to tell you: a ding on the top side edge of one cabinet, and third-party binding posts a previous owner fitted to one speaker. Otherwise good — and the design is the interesting part, since Mission's inverted geometry puts the tweeter below the woofer to bring the two into step at seated ear height. Made in England.
