Me either; let's retire and be one

Carl's picture is a monument to something bad. The dude stripped all those Klipsch cabinets of Klipsch drivers and put in second rate stuff and thought he did something good. At one time I was interested in all of it until I found that out. He even stripped the K-4M and K-55-v drivers out of the midrange and threw that "junk" away !!! I never thought I would see someone spend that kind of money just to take and try and turn it into a JBL or Gauss speaker system.

$1400 $1200 for the whole rack and connectors with the 30AMP Hubbell.  Has wheels. $3000 $2500 for KP-600 pair with 682 subs.  Grills and covers included.  Cannons included.    Grills with logos and covers are hard to come by.  I've reduced my price as I need to move these for space.  If they don't sell at this price....will be sold piece by piece or part by part.   jc

My case is hopefully going to be solved soon. The shop I bought could not offer any other option except the cancellation of the deal, so I will need to send it back and I will have a full refund. I found another shop in Slovakia and they have both RP-250C and RP-450C in cherry. Actually they only have one piece of each. I decided to buy the RP-450C. Their price is lower than the price of the store here in Hungary, but that does not matter since they do not have any here... I figured if I buy the last cherry, I should buy the best.
I made sure they double check the boxes and the condition and they said it is factory sealed and in perfect, unopened condition. I will probably receive it this week.   Thank you everyone.

I obviously need to get out more.

None within 250 miles of me

Klipschorns still available. 

There's no reason not to be a Phil Phan.  A single boneheaded play in the passion of the moment does not negate a lifetime of good work.  Our heroes aren't perfect.  +++   It took me years to gain a more mature perspective on how pro sports are officiated.  I am pretty much a rule book thumper, "the rules are the rules."  We've all seen Michael Jordan take three steps and dunk the ball.  "There's no such thing as a walk in the NBA."    I never understood NBA reffing.   For the playoffs a lot of the NBA TV broadcasts these days have former pro refs offer commentary.  They admit the superstars get preferential treatment when it comes to walking, fouling or being fouled.  People fill the the seats and tune in to watch superstars play, not to watch referees ref.    Have you ever seen a Cav's broadcast?  LeBron argues CONSTANTLY the entire game complaining to the refs.  You know how they get him to shut up?  They T-up the coach who's usually standing there on the side line with his arms crossed, saying nothing!    This is pro sports, not little league where children learn to play by the rules.  This is Big Time entertainment where millions of dollars in revenue for the sport depend on keeping the superstars on the court, or in the case of the popular Phil Mickelson, on the course.   What changed my understanding of how pro officiating was practiced was one of the aforementioned NBA refs who said the rule book was more of a guideline, and it is the REF ON THE COURT who takes these rules and INTERPRETS how the rule is applied.  In other words, the ref is the rule book.  It's only walking if the ref says it is.   Pro baseball is the same way, although with replay challenges that might be changing in terms of judgement calls.  Remember the phantom double play where the double play was started by a player not coming close to touching second base before throwing to first?  Gone.  But for years the MLB ump WAS the rule book because of his interpretation and judgement.   Golf is pro sport entertainment worth millions.  Little league umps need not apply.  

This is Great News! I've started/participated in numerous threads promoting this idea way back in the Dark Ages. Heck, I flew to Indianapolis to audition the LaScalas when I was considering them for Home Theater.  

For surround duties, I don't think timbre matching is quite as important. Don't get me wrong, you'd be better off matching when possible, but surrounds generally handle effects. That being said, hanging floorstanding speakers sounds like a pain, and you may honestly be better off going with the R-14S, since they're designed to be surrounds.
