The ones on FB have sold. You and others seem surprised these have not sold, I'm merely offering my theory on why.

Not sure if Tampa is on your route, but here's some that have been up for a couple of weeks https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/440264921445788/?ref=facebook_story_share

This market seems to have a good number of Klipsch sellers with good prices. There were just a really nice pair of non-birch heresys down in PSL on FB for under 500.

July Bump. Happy 4th everyone

isn't that what the Internet is for?

Seems like a pretty nice discount for someone in the market https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649866985-klipsch-75th-anniversary-klipschorns-1010-condition-17500-for-the-pair/

Any notes or thoughts on the Decware vs the horn monos? I'm interested in both. I was also looking at the Decware integrated amp which ups it to 6w for a couple hundred more

I made an offer on a pair of 600m in plant city from Facebook... Listed at 459, she said she had an offer for 400 already. Oh well... For that, I'll just buy new. Don't have any input for you on the other speakers. I've never even heard the 600m but want to try them for rear surrounds.

Maybe you have to use the link from slickdeals. I just added to cart at 350

These are still 350 new at Adorama, plus tax, I guess. I would like a black pair.

Still looking!

looks like Zebrawood. I did a table out of that many years ago.

From Facebook. funny

Yes right, Thanks

Need to be cleaned up, but I think these are the cheapest FII's I've seen posted. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1054803768719802/

Listing says price is per speaker. And only 1 available. But also mentions "speakers" plural.

Not a lot but would like to start to more. Alot of the klipsch demos I've seen on YT use Niles Lofgren "Keith Dont Go" or something like that. I've listened to parts of that album and I enjoyed it. I need to check out more artists like that.

There was one of these on Craigslist maybe a month or two ago. It had been refurbished by Audio Classics a few years ago but had a front cracked faceplate. I think it was listed for 1500 and seller dropped the price another 100. I still wonder if I should have picked that up.

Wow, that's a super generous offer. I am definitely intrigued in the Quicksilver stuff. And plant city is an easy drive. I'll be in touch...I really appreciate it.

yeah, I appreciate their honesty. With buying used, I may very well be buying sight unseen/unheard and would hate for the new system to be super noisy. The Sphinx v3 is a class D design and Steve Guttenberg really liked it. And...its only a hundred or two over my budget. But.....no tubes. And jeeze, who knows, maybe I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference Yeah, I've been looking at $1500 integrated tube amps but like I said, may switch over to the Quicksilver mono amps just because they are made exactly for high efficiency horn speakers. I could see it being very easy to push the buy button at Amazon in the Willsenton r8, too, and having it in 2 days. At least then I suppose it would be returnable if it was noisy with the Ls Scala II's, but I like to try and avoid buying and returning if I can.

Emailed Rogue this am about pairing the Cronus Magnum II with the LA Scalas. They said with speakers that efficient, you'd probably hear some noise. They recommend either the Cronus Magnum III (out of budget) or the Sphinx v3, which looks nice but I really want to try tubes. I may be back to the Quicksilver Horn Monos and a budget tube preamp. Been searching this am trying to find what that preamp might be. Usaudiomart sure doesn't have a lot of tube preamp listed in the $500 range.

Is the Willsenton r8 even something to consider? It seems to get a lot of praise and last nite I saw a couple comments which caught my eye. One, that the Willsenton and Primaluna were both from the same factory (I was drolling over the PL 100 integrated) And two, someone else said the China concern for hifi is really no longer valid as they make so much good stuff there.

Yeah, I'm just thinking ahead. I'm running outta money so might have to power them via an AVR for a bit. Fun shopping though. I just gotta make sure I don't came across a deal I can't pass up!

Not 100% finalized but hoping to asap
