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 a set of Mark series speakers to go with them. I just found these - they are the Mark XII speakers. They are electrostatics like the Mark IV-s. I have only been able to find a small amount of information on them. That info is posted on my "Mark Specs" page. They are in decent shape and functional but the cabinets need to be refinished.

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. As per Mike Pontelle (former partner of SAE) "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."
