Cool speakers. Our store had a pair of those on display back in 1986 or 87. After the owners saw them at the Summer CES Show in Chicago, they brought in a pair of those along with the L250 and all the models under those. Watching Top Gun on them tan on a pair of Adcom mono blocks was something else. Great speakers. $10k retail back the so figure the inflation calculator... GLWS

So where are they located at? Location always plays a big part in price....and stupidity, too. lol I know there are 2 sets of LS's in black listed on FB Marketplace of which one pair is in Tulsa and the other in Little Rock. Both are that same price but in MUCH better shape. Would I pay $2500 for a pair? Hell no....but I'm a cheapskate.

There's a better looking pair in Tulsa for $2500

At this point, I think your best bet at this point is to get to the crossovers and visually inspect them for any damage. Have you had these long or are they a recent purchase? I know when I traded for a couple pairs of Epic CF-3's a couple years back, I had one pair of crossovers with a couple of burnt resistors on them as they had apparently been ran hard. If I'm not mistaken, the crossovers are literally part of the terminal cups on those like the Epics on very crowded boards. Should be super easy to just unscrew them to inspect and take photos. My personal rule of thumb is, if I do something to one side, do the same to the other or you may end up with varying results again.

One of the Little Rock flippers has a pair of cherry veneer CF-4's but not sure of the versions. He's known for taking the worst pictures in the world from the same angles of his dirty carpet but these look like they are from somewhere else. Most likely the original pictures of when he bought them as he is too lazy to take good pictures. lol No affiliation or interest at that price. https://www.facebook.com/share/VyAqdoGf7vx2tUYJ/

Did you swap the actual speakers from one location to the other? Swap the speakers around just to see. What about source inputs? Did you swap those? Does this on all sources?

It'll be 17 years for me this coming December and 4200 real posts and not crap pics/videos/etc just to up the numbers. lol. Enjoyed it here for many years. Hard to type right now; had carpal tunnel surgery on left wrist yesterday.

Ones personal value does not always equate as the same for a potential buyer. May be a slow to no selling . Great speakers, though. Why sell if they mean that much.

I have a neighbor, literally in my neighborhood 1/4 mile away, selling a pair of Belle's for $3k. Also owns Klipschorns but he's keeping those. Not interested in them as I had a set I built but traded them for 2 pairs of Epic CF-3's a few years back. Just never had anyone list something like those co close to me. lol

$4000 huh...

Offers. Like an auction? Did you put them on ebay? They like to make offers there.

@ray2001 If you do, just replace the diaphragms as a pair. $20 each isn't bad. https://www.simplyspeakers.com/klipsch-replacement-speaker-diaphragm-k75-d-417.html

Oddly enough, these speakers are literally a quarter mile away from me but no affiliation. (they are new people in the neighborhood) Oiled Oak 1990 Belle's and sequential s/n's. https://www.facebook.com/share/A1zuNEtg1RNDiY8U/

Yeah, anytime a shipping place like that is used, the shipping price goes up exponentially.

Also pretty sure he just tried to copy the entire ad from wherever thinking it would add his images...but doesn't work that way. Maybe mods can fix it.
