    Gov’t enough for close work.

     

    A search at AAFES yields nothing for Klipsch. Sad

    My sister-in-law works for them in Germany.  She is no longer in the service.

     

    I can't speak to the AAFES Klipsch offerings, but I see Klipsch at Costco a lot now.

    At times I have purchased back speakers / equipment from friends or family that either upgraded or could no longer use such things, my general rule has always been (assuming no damage has occurred) to pay exactly what I sold them for-- which was always a good deal. If he (she) is a friend they should not expect to profit off you, especially if you cut them a great deal. If they want to earn a profit they should have to do the leg work and earn it IMO.

    I was writing something similar, but @jjptkd said it better than me.

    Hopefully they are in the same condition.  At the price they paid, they enjoyed them for several years for free.

    Thanks! It’s been popping up on my feed. I have to admit I’m interested but something stops me from reaching out. I have no experience with a “hip”. Do you?

     

     

    I hear this is the HIP with the slot vent at the bottom is sought after.

    I think it plays louder, but not lower (like my KP-250).

    You would need to swap speaker plugs, the black one is snapped off.

    Why in the world would you recommend two non-timbre' matched center speakers when the Academy is truly the correct speaker he needs!  Those while great center are design for a totally different speaker line.  You guys must be totally tone deaf if you can't hear the difference.

     

     

    I have a rough academy, if he wants to hear the difference.

     

    With the loud tinnitus in my right ear, I probably would have a hard time telling the timber difference.

    I’m getting back into Klipsch.... I’m going to put together a HT using vintage Klipsch speakers... i live in Northern IL and I had actually contacted this seller, but they were already gone...

     

    What’s the best way to research “real world” prices.... I’ve been watching eBay and Craigslist and are lots of extremely high priced stuff that never sells....

     

    Any chance there’s a “real world” price guide... or experienced Klipsch man who’s up for helping a newbie?

    These would be great for your HT:

    Klipsch Chorus II - $800 (NW Fort Wayne Union Chapel)

    in Alerts!

    Posted

    From ad:

    Pair of Klipsch Chorus II in Oiled Oak finish. Consecutive serial numbers. Purchased from original owner. Installed updated Crites crossovers, and Titanium Tweeter and Midrange Diaphragms. I purchased a pair of custom slanted risers and removed the original risers, but still have them if you prefer the classic look. The purchased risers give the speakers a slight tilt backwards which I prefer. Cosmetically in excellent condition. The only cosmetic issue of note is the passive radiator dust caps are dented inward. No impact on sound quality and they were in that condition when I purchased. I also added some acoustic insulation to inner walls of the cabinets when installing the updated crossovers. Lastly I added a few washers to the inside rear of the passive radiators which helps low end extension (common Klipsch Chorus II mod). Included will be the original risers, tweeter and midrange diaphragms.
