    5 Klipsch RF7’s and more

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Klipsch RF-7’s for sale.  I’ve been dreading this day. I downsized from a house to a condo a while ago and just can’t justify storing all of this stuff any more. I need to start selling things just to access all of the other stuff. 
     

    This listing is for 5 original RF-7’s. 
    $1000 per pair
    $500 for the single
    $2000 for all 5 and I’ll throw in a bonus 10” RF7 driver and horn/tweeter. 

     

    I’m located in Staten Island NY. All items are cash and carry only. I also have Chorus II’s, Forte II’s, custom Heresy’s, RS 52 II’s, SF 1’s, Salks watt raal, Sonus Faber, B&W, along with tons of amps, preamps, etc. I will eventually get around to listing the rest as I make room. If there’s local interest just let me know. 
     

    I can’t ever post photos here. I’m doing it from my phone and it says they’re too large, but doesn’t give me the option to select size.

    I’m pretty sure the 8008st didn’t come with balanced inputs.

    I think you are correct. This old stereophile article says balanced inputs are a $500 option but it doesn’t even specify which model they reviewed. I’m thinking maybe the 8008ST they were an option or the $500 is the BB? The one I found is cosmetically challenged, plus shipping from the other coast won’t be cheap. If it’s the BB it’s a good deal. For the ST it’s probably not worth it. It does not have balanced inputs so I’m leaning towards it’s the ST model. Strange they wouldn’t at least put some kind of label on that back specifying what it is.

    For those that have used Uship, how long has it taken to get a bid and get the item on its way to the buyer? 

    When I’ve used uShip I got bids immediately. The longer you wait it gets cheaper and people undercut each other. It’s like ebay but backwards lol. I advise you list them locally and save yourself a big headache. They’ll sell. The cost and risk of shipping speakers like that kills the deal for most.

    Historically LSI's are hard to sell because they have such a small market.  By definition they were working speakers for gigs or clubs and not in great shape.  The rest of the idea is most people don't want ugly industrial monsters in their living room so the pool of potential buyers is smaller than for home speakers.

     

    Finding a buyer for a single LSI is a smaller buyer pool still.  You can buy a single if you need a center for L/C/R LS's but if you had to find a second single to match I think that would take a long time.

     

    On paper $500 for a single LSI sounds good, but in reality IMO it's worth a lot less because it would take so long to find a buyer.

    I agree with everything you’re saying. I know I’m the minority but I actually prefer black. This one looks much nicer than most LSI’s I see. I live in NYC. They don’t come up for sale here often, when the do they seem to be about double your spread sheets. They don’t last long, so I assume they sell for close to asking price. 
     

    I appreciate your spreadsheets. Very helpful and informative.

    I'm not sure where to categorize that single LS.  LS pair average is $1208, but this is an LSI.

     

    LSI pair averages $1000 even.  La Scala single averages $472.

     

    I'm thinking I will put it in the LSI category and put an "s" in the cell.  The s is for "single" and putting a letter in the cell with numbers means it will not be included in the average but you still can see the price, for research purposes. 

     

    Ideas?

    If LSI averages $1000 for the pair, I’d say it seems right on the money. $500 for 1 equals $1000 for two?

    So...I won these. And I'm pumped about that!

    But I have no idea how to get them 2,500 miles to central Florida.

    Any thoughts???

    I’ve shipped across the country with uship. It’s pretty cool. You create the job description of what you’re shipping and an estimate of when you want it done. Different transport companies will bid on the job. Prices start a little high, then everyone outbids each other. For instance you find a company out of Florida that’s going to have a truck headed down with extra room or empty and they’re looking to fill it up. You research the companies by reviews and information and pick the one you want. Hopefully the seller is cooperative

    So I've had about a half dozen people email me about these so far but no one has actually come out to see them or take a listen. Yesterday I spent a few hours in the garage waiting on a potential buyer to show up only to have him change his mind last minute, gotta love Craigslist!

     

    Anyway got to spend some time with these speakers and I got to say they really are excellent sounding, a bit different from the RF-5's I have must be the bigger woofs and cabinets as the horns are the same. Of course nothing is equal and audio memory is junk but I believe I like the sound of these better than the series II I had awhile back.

     

    As of now I'm going to pull these out of the running and just keep them for myself for now, it took me some time to find them anyway and I don't really like selling speakers as much as I like to buy them.. I'll find a place for them eventually right now they are doing great out in the garage, thanks.

     

     

     

     

    Craigslist people are always flakey. The RF-7’s have the larger driver in the horn. 1.75” vs 1” on the RF-5’s. I always preferred the RF-7’s highs over the RF-5
