I have an excellent condition black satin KV-3 with the original carton that I am not using that I would offer for $150 plus split shipping if you have any interest in replacing the KV-1. Doubtful that replacement woofers are available. Maybe eBay or have them reconed if at all possible.

If you have any interest in a more efficient pair (~102db @ 1W) and don't mind the industrial look I would offer one pair of my Heresy Industrial Ported (HIP)'s for $700 and they are far more potent than a standard Heresy. They were also more expensive to purchase than the standard Heresy as well. These would be turn key no updates or modifications needed. The aluminum trim is removable revealing perfectly sharp edges and corners. Plug and Play. Take a nice drive up to Vermont.

The AK-2 is not a desired network. Klipsch corrected it with the AK-3 which is far more desirable. Remember that these networks are in two sections. One mounted in the top hat and the other half is mounted inside the woofer hatch door.

I came across what looks to be a mint pair of Forte II's while browsing Craigslist. While I believe the asking price to be high the overall condition may warrant it. I am not affiliated with the seller in any way. https://vermont.craigslist.org/ele/d/underhill-center-klipsch-speakers/7506354592.html

Way too high for the overall condition of the speakers. Those grills are not removable as they look like verticals and it is quite a job to replace that fabric since it is stapled to the front motorboard. Top of the mark would be about $800.

I just kept my original Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's and replaced the satellites with a pair of ADS L200E's. What a difference! These were the best of th ebest when it came to mini speakers and they are even just a tad smaller than the Klipsch satellite. They sold for about $350/pr new and can be had for $100 or less online used. You will not be disappointed at all.

Heresy HIP's are still available for pickup. I will offer a $100 price reduction for forum members making them $650

I came across this auction in my searches it is a very early model H the precursor to the H700 and eventually the Heresy. It has all three drivers in it. I am sure it could be cleaned up I have not seen one this old for auction before. Would make a nice collectors item for sure. It has the University tweeter in it. I would jump on it but I am already trying to sell the speakers that I already have. It would make a nice center channel speaker conversation piece for sure. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255546396618?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3D9b5ee9e804e648ea99d1165e57db7ac6%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D363848927488%26itm%3D255546396618%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2334524%26brand%3DKlipsch&_trksid=p2334524.c100667.m2042

I was the first to try Popbumpers Academy network and it literally transformed it. I had a lengthy post back them that I titled "An Academy Tale" the stock network is an obvious compromise. The detail and clarity really increased with his network installed keep in mind is did not come cheap but it is worth it. I know which one I would choose between the stock network and the K-Stack.

Here is the schematic for the Academy crossover network. You also have to take into consideration that many, many movie soundtracks are just mixed horribly there are some that I struggle to hear the dialogue on and I have a La Scala center with the best components and network. Updating the network components will make a difference if you use high quality parts not the mediocre crap from JEM or Crites. Here is a comparison between Popbumpers K-Stack and the stock network for comparison. Guess which one sounds better.

I have a pair of Heresy Industrial HIP's I do not have the means to box and ship these but would be willing to drop them off to a pack and ship place for a buyer.

Not a chance. I had an all Klipschorn HT for awhile now that was overkill. Slowly started downgrading to Belle's, then La Scala's now La Scala's Cornwall's and Heresy HIP's. No such thing as too much. It will sound phenomenal.

This is not true regardless of open or closed backs the Klipschorn still needs a solid corner with ~ 4ft on either side of it to perform to listed specifications. That will never change and is listed right in the documentation. Don't believe still ask Trey Cannon and he will confirm it for you.

They have the steel stamped frame K-42 woofers, the K-55M midranges with the 8 hole K-700 horn, and the K-77M tweeter and the HIE networks stock. I would also take some a/d/s L-980, L-880, L400 or L300 series speakers as partial trade.

Sorry, no spare drivers or crossovers they are all being utilized. I just sold my spare K-42/EVM-12L woofer as well. All the bigger Heritage have top notch networks, new wiring, and gold plated spade lugs. My signature has what is currently in them.

Yes Burlington, VT area. I am willing to drive a reasonable distance to meet a buyer. I actually want to sell my entire speaker system for $5900 and that includes all the Klipsch speakers including these HIP's. So three La Scala's, two Cornwall's, and four Heresy HIP's. All in excellent condition. I just am looking to downsize considerably.

I am reluctantly offering one pair of my Heresy HIP's for sale. They are in excellent condition and are from 1985 I am offering them locally since shipping them would be extremely cost prohibitive. I will have some photos up this evening as I have to size them down for this forum. I even have the plastic bottom pole mounts for them as well. They had easy duty as my side surround speakers I moved my Front Effects HIP's into there role and will be using something different for my Front Effects. Looking to get $750 for the pair as they are not that common especially in good to very good condition and fully functional. (Photo below for likeness, same style and layout)

No it will not match efficiency or tone wise not even close.

Bump, price drop to $125

This is being offered in my local area if anyone has any interest. If it does not sell at the asking price they typically give an option to submit an offer if it still doesn't sell by the second day of the sale everything drops to 50% off. It all looks to be in stellar shape but I think the omnidirectional speakers are not CS-99's. Very unique vintage set up. One thing to note though is this receiver uses a very unique and proprietary to Pioneer speaker input plug. If they do not have them it may be difficult to source a set but a quick scan of eBay shows at least a couple may be available. Just thought I would pass that on to someone who may not be familiar with the unit. https://shop.estatesalesandconsignments.com/lot-86-vintage-pioneer-qx-99-receiver-and-4-cs-99a-surround-sound-speakers-stk-129811-880/

I have an excellent condition Klipsch KV-3 center channel speaker finished in black satin. It does have some very light scratches on the bottom from where it rubbed against the TV stand legs and a few other little marks here and there but otherwise very presentable. It is over 20 years old after all. All the drivers are original and functioning as they should. The grill and klipsch emblem are also in great shape. The adjustment rod on the back is there with the rubber foot still in place. I have the original carton and user manual for it. I am missing like one or so of the solid corner foam pieces to keep it in place in the box but I will be adding additional packing to secure it for shipping. Looking to get $125 plus associated shipping costs for it. Originally intended to mate with the Epic series of speakers CF-1, CF-2, CF-3 but others have used it in different applications with some level of success.

That is a Decorator Klipschorn KD-BR = Klipsch Decorator, Birch Raw. All the same sound with a basic enclosure and partial top hat section.

Yep beat to hell. The grain in the wood makes them look more like oak than walnut. Shame they were so mistreated.

Dog piss on the side grills and lots of moisture damage what a joke.

Yep, nothing but crap in the box unfortunately. I bought a Klipsch KSW-15 many years ago and paid top dollar for it and it was junk. Sorry but subwoofers are not Klipsch's forte' (pun intended). I stick with Velodyne as they have a more solid subwoofer reputation.
