Cheap.

[Academy replacement :(?]

I purchased an Academy and A-B'ed it with a KLF-C7. I ended up selling the Academy (too much money to have tied up in a small speaker). Two things I noticed in this test, first, it was hard to tell the difference in the voice or timbre of the two speakers. What I did notice, is that the Academy sounded "small" like a bookshelf speaker. You could tell that the center channel was there - and it is a small speaker. Not only did the KLF-C7 have a wider "space", during the spoken parts of a movie, it better matched my ChorusII's. I asked Klipsch of this would be possible, they said yes. You can get the KLF-C7 for about $300 on Ebay, try it, you can always sell it. The Academy's have come down, but at $500 each, too much money for too small a speaker.

My two cents.

Out of the new the RC35 is $400 (about the price of the Academy originally), the RC7 is $800.

I was thinking if I can't do this below $200 I may as well pay $300 for the Academy drivers/crossover, get some MDF and the misc parts and do a academy for $400.

The KT series seems to be 'cheap' (almost like a KLF-C7's little brother really, they have the same tweeter) when available....the RC3 series is also similar....the epic stuff is hit or miss, alot of KV3's out there.

Anyways any opinions?

Those prices are too rich for my blood, but I could not blame anyone for trying to get top dollar for their equipment. I am resigned to start with KLF-C7, if I can find one.

I have a KLF-C7 for sale, black, good condition, has scratches, but not terrible. One just sold on ebay for $395. Due to condition, I'd sell this one for only $300 plus shipping from Maine. It'll be packed well.

Has it sold? I would like it.

[Who needs an academy?]

I would be interested in this speaker, especially if it had a little more bass and better shielding.
