SAE Speakers
See my "Mark Specs" page for more information on the "Mark" series speakers

I figured if I am going to collect the Mark series, I might as well try to find some sets of Mark series speakers to go with them. I was real fortunate to find a set of Mark XIV electrostatic speakers. They are definitely on the rare side with only a few sets known of around the country. These are in real nice shape and sound great even though I need to get the woofers re-foamed.

Below is the brochure

These are the Mark XII speakers. They are electrostatics like the Mark XIV-s. They are in decent shape and functional but the cabinets need to be refinished. Below is the four page brochure I just obtained.

Above is a set of NOS SAE speaker stands in the original box. These are model #B10. My guess is that by their size these were intended for the Mark X speakers. I do not know if they were also for use with the Mark XI and Mark XII speakers or if they had their own speaker stands.

These are Mark X speakers. These were the entry level SAE speaker.
 

 
Bogus SAE Speakers? - You Decide

These speakers were made in the late 90's by a manufacturer in Long Beach, California. They were sold through Costco at a price of around $350.00/pair. As per Mike Pontelle of SAE & ATI, "The company making the "SAE" speakers selling them to Costco originally did not have any authority to do so. After brief discussions, we gave them a license to do so."
