The original drivers you pulled out don’t look bad. Just the dents on the dust caps? Considering how rare they are, you should be able to sell them and recoup some money. I’ve see ones like that bring good money on eBay.

Sounds like you did a great job. Looking forward to seeing them
-
They sound cool. Share some pictures with us when they’re finished!

I’d be on my way to pick them up if I wasn’t on the opposite side of the country. These won’t last long

I live in NYC too. Those have been listed for a while. I think both are asking about double what they’re worth. First pair looks like they need a lot more than just tweeters.

What you’re seeing is pretty spot on. Average I see is about $800 for RF-7 and $400 For the
RC-7. You can always ask more if they’re in great shape.

Heresy prices seem to be on the rise. I’m thinking the Heresy IV’s will drive the III price down

Gone, how much were they?

Definitely a scam site. If you research “clothsoutlet” every link is about a scam. This one was entertaining at audio karma lol

I assume this is for a single speaker and not the pair price? see: https://www.acousticsounddesign.com/klipsch-speakers/109-klipsch-ak5-wl-walnut-floorstanding-speaker?filter=78

Heritage is advertised as 50% off and it says a pair.
-
Promo code TV15 takes 15% off most of the non heritage stuff I believe as well.

Lots of Klipsch marked down. You don’t see Heritage sales often. LaScala II, Cornwall III, etc.

What part of NY?

Thanks! I can always use more wire.

Soundbar technology has come a long way these past couple years.
I was in BB the other day and listened to the BOSE 700 soundbar and matching 700 bass module. I was totally surprised by the sound this simple and clean looking system put out.
My friends all have these huge and beautiful homes and nearly all of them have Sonos soundbars. As much as I hate to admit it, they all sound very good especially when the subwoofer is turned on.
I could unload all my gear, buy a soundbar and pocket a couple thousand but I just can’t give up my passion for buying and testing new gear. I actually like trying gear out more than I like using it, so I am a bit of a weirdo..
I completely agree. It’s more of a hobby. I regret selling most of the stuff I have over the years. Occasionally I buy stuff back. After seeing his setup I feel like a hoarder lol. I was just blown away that the difference wasn’t night and day. I appreciate the honest opinions.

This weekend I stopped by a friend’s house. He was playing music over his Sonos system. It consisted of a sound bar, 2 rear speakers, and a Sonos sub. That’s it, no receiver, amplifier, nothing. I expected something like the old “no highs, no lows, must be bose.” The thing actually sounded shockingly good. It made me question the racks and rooms filled with audio equipment I have.
Today while bored at work I decided to google a little about Sonos systems since I know nothing. The general consensus I’m reading online is that Bose has better sound quality, but Sonos is more user friendly and easier to use. Bose sounds better?
I didn’t do any critical listening or serious comparison. Are these things any good or am I loosing it? I did have a few beers lol. Getting rid of the towers and audio rack in the bedroom would at least make the girlfriend happy.

Price isn’t great but I know some guys are looking for them and they don’t pop up too often.

Good prices on stuff that looks well taken care of. Nice find

I haven’t heard the AL-5’s so I can’t comment on the difference. I’m sure they’re a little better, but I can’t see 5k better. I think you could spend your money better elsewhere. Audio is all subjective anyways. What one thinks is more detailed may seem bright or fatiguing to someone else.
Klipsch B stock that I’ve seen you’d never know it other than a sticker on the back. It would lower resale value a little down the road though. I’d have zero problem with demos as long as there are no scuffs. They should still carry warranty, although I’ve never needed warranty on a speaker. Personally I’d have a real hard time justifying the price difference between the demos and others mentioned. Just my .02

Example, here’s a post I started back in March where they had LSII’s for 2199 each with free shipping.

This ted guy is a piece of work
I think he should just keep his bose and leave us alone
Dollar for dollar Klipsch has no equals
Name one other speaker company that can build a speaker and keep working like new after 45 plus years of service. Answer NO ONE !!!!!!This forum has a bad habit of being nasty to new members. Especially in Ted’s first post he came here looking for information on some expensive speakers. I’ve bought plenty of 12k speakers, but I’ve never paid close to 12k for them. Everyone here knows if you buy a new pair of LSII’s at full retail and it didn’t work out in your room. You’d struggle to get half back a few months later. This is a hobby for most of us and we’re constantly changing gear. Nothing wrong with looking for a deal, as we all do. I feel op’s (abrasive) response was based on responses he got. His first post was very polite. Welcome to the forum and best of luck with your search. Adorama has blown out LSII’s heavily discounted in the past. You’ll find a great deal if your patient.

RF-7 project/woofer replacements
in Garage Sale
Posted
listing them here first is a great idea, an eBay ad will get much more attention. Keep the boxes of the RF-7III woofers so you can use them to ship the woofers you sell. Chances of finding someone local are slim. I have more RF-7 and RF-7II’s then I’d care to admit. One pair in storage has dented dust caps like that. So I kept an eye out for a replacement pair for many years. They come up very rarely and even the dented ones were asking over $100 each.
