  1. ha, that does seem to work. But oh my, that's a lot of driving. I usually tap out at 4-5 hours for the day (and that's if I absolutely have to). Will have to do some soul searching for this, I suppose. I'm not sure what the rental plus hotel, gas, time, etc will compare to finding someone to strap these to some pallets and shipping. we also ran into something with a "local" rental where the agreement said it could not be taken out of state. I'm not sure if that's a thing or not anymore. I know we tried to rent a car to drive up to Charleston one summer a few years back just to save wear and tear on our vehicles and ran into that.
  2. its strange, its very tough to find a bigger vehicle for a one way trip. I have a good corporate acct with Avis, if you use pickup and dropoff in Nashville, there's a van, pickup, full size SUV, pickup, etc. When you change to a 1 way trip dropping off in Tampa, all of those become unavailable. Now it make sense because even on expedia, there were very few, if any, bigger trucks avail. i bet if you change the search to a local rental, a ton of trucks will open up.
  3. Any issues with using a rental car to pull something like that? I guess I can look into it. I've also never driver with a trailer and have no idea how to do so. I'm guessing straight is no problem and I'll just have to pray I never have to go in reverse. But interesting idea and they seem to be fairly cheap to rent.
  4. That was pretty close to what I was finding for a van rental. May be able to get a pick up cheaper although I think I'd feel more comfortable with something enclosed. I even looked at uhaul for one of their little trucks and was surprised how expansive that was.
  5. dang, I guess that's my "well I've never seen anything like that before" thought for the day
  6. that appeared to be a great deal for someone! I watched several videos on the amp and it just wasn't in the cards for me at this time but hope the new owner enjoys it very much
  7. thanks - forgot about this thread! Another LS2 opportunity if anyone is traveling thru/from Nashville down to FL, would greatly appreciate the assist!
  8. Anyone traveling south from Nashville, hopefully near or close to FL, anytime soon? Pls LMK
  9. I think that's maybe possible. I have a PHEV, battery is under the rear seats so they barely even fold, don't get close to flat so you lose a lot of space.
  10. I was just about to post to see if anyone was traveling from your area down to Tampa or FL even. Those will def not fit in a Wrangler so I'm thinking there'd have to be some sort of rental car involved, too. I'll give it some thought for sure!
  11. Oh, wow those LS2's are exactly what I want. And some tube mono's for another $500. That sounds like a deal made for me, just unfortunately, need it a little closer. thanks for the tip!
  12. Yes, prices are good here. I was Def a buyer at 1000. At 1200, I probably wasn't even though these were walnut and did look mint. I really have my heart set on La Scalas but was curious about the CW and figured these could have been moved to the rear later, but honestly the Forte or something like that would be a better fit anyway. Half of the fun to me is getting a deal. Paying full asking price takes some of the excitement out of it for sure. So I'm OK with this. I did think about them all week and would have been more upset if he sold them out from under at a 1000, but at his full price, not sure I would have jumped on them anyway.
  13. Saw these on FB, they sat for a few days so I offered a grand. Seller said ok and that he was leaving for a trip in 3 hours and would be back in a week. It would have been tough to get over to him in time but in hindsight I should have just done it that day. Msg'd the seller on the day he got back. Saw the speakers were now marked as SOLD. He said the person who bought his Heresy pair is buying these for the $1200. While I kinda figured we had a deal, I guess I understand. Oh well. At least he was honest about it.
  14. If only those were LS II..... They be home with me
  15. Hmm...ships for $15? that seems to be a good deal. I normally do not care for the birch plywood but if I was closer, they'd be in the back of my truck.
  16. anyone interested and that's on FB, keep an eye on the "KO - Classifieds" group, there have been a few Klipschorn's popping up in the $3k's lately. https://www.facebook.com/groups/184980515429570
  17. looks like a nice entry into Heritage and I do prefer the walnut over oak anyday. If you were closer, I might consider this to hold me over while I search for my Ls Scalas. glws
  18. I'd really like to try some Tekton DI or Moabs. Crazy that there's such a gap between those 2 on your list.
  19. hmm...I wonder if these work on furniture sliders or felt pads, etc? I have the corners but would need to move one side every so often.
  20. Fake names and emails work, too. Or so I've heard.....
  21. Anyone planning to go thru/from Charleston, SC down to FL and happen to have a lot of extra cargo room, pls hit me up.
  22. there's a pair of very similar speakers down on the east coast of FL for just a few more bucks. waiting to see if there's a further price reduction and thinking about maybe trying out these as a stop-gap until I can find some nice La Scala.
  23. not saying its not a scam, but doesn't seem that out of place to me. Not replying to ads is odd, though. Send one pretending to be an out of state buyer and see if they respond. I read it as he will demo it with Klipsch speakers if you are local and if you are not and want to pay for shipping, they will do that too.
