OK, Matt, my final offer . . . the same $250 I offered way back when, before you started all this stuff. I'll even come and pick it up . . . . Don't be one of those too proud to accept any offer of HELP.

Well, darn! There goes my chance for a $250 B-A-R-G-A-I-N!!! To think I was about to do you a favor and take it off your hands . . . .

Valerie Klipsch. Evidently, a very blessed and rich woman. Blessed to be with her Creator now, and rich in the affection of the many of you here who knew her and cared for her.

Welcome, Tom, Like you, I never did a thing to mine, either. No doubt, many of the comments about improvements/mods made to the KLF speakers reflect real, as well as perceived, differences. One question I have never resolved in my mind is when all the changing of the internals, electronics, damping, and on and on actually move the speaker out of the range to be considered "Klipsch" anymore.

Interesting, isn't it? Such different answers to the one question. And all of them "right"--at least well-intentioned, (mostly) from personal experience, and without too much definition of what is meant by the terms used to describe. So, my own answer follows suit. I have had the 30s, 20s, and 10s, all owned simultaneously. Used in HT and "critical" music modes. Admission--am more "mature" at age 70, so my hearing has declined significantly--what the heck, GONE, above about 12Khz. But what I can hear, I can hear very well. As I personally love big and full and rich sound, I am thrilled by the quality of sound produced by all 3 speakers. As "better" and price-points and 2-way vs 3-way are all individual preferences, the unquantified/non-numerical assessment I have is that all 3 sound wonderful, and do wonders for those who like towers. Am sure there are many who know much more about the subject, and who have actual experience with the similarities and differences. And I am also sure that a few of these actually can discern some significant differences. To them, and for all who want to know more and experience more, thank you for detailing the specifics that help others--like me--learn more what I am hearing, and what I "should" be listening for.

Dave, it's not too late!

Dave? Calling Dave . . . . Pickup--only a little south--in your time zone.

Sehr gut, Nitemare, Youthman, und Dave. Abbe, ich habbe alles meine Deutsch vergessen!

Thanks, Cal.

Sorry, am not getting the math.$450 + $600 + $210 + $280 = $1,540. What am I missing?

Actually, I just brought home a pair of KLF-10 speakers, with Crites tweeters (had never heard any Crites improvements, so I simply wanted to experience a little for myself). Having just sold my C7 center 2 weeks ago, I put my KG 2.2v center between them. I thought they (the 3) sounded great together. Now, I have not experienced a long and varied run with that combination, but surely sounded excellent to me. But then, I may be more modest, because I like the KG 2.2 sound. My opinion, anyway.

Aaron, If you have not solved your center issue, have you seen this Academy? NA! https://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/5441362327.html

Tim, PM sent.

^ Curious how many have lived long enough to recognize the reference above.

"Car 54, where are you?"--Dave (WVU80), don't you need to get away from the WV winter for a few days . . . ?

Turtle--PM sent--couple of questions.

Matt!!!--little urging needed! You know me, a car and a road ahead and a speaker just over the hill . . . .

Turtle, PM sent. To those who may have interest in the sub, I did not make a bid, so nothing "going on".

Turtle, Where in Louisiana?

No technical comments, but the photo of your setup . . . fantastic! Happy for you, Matt. You will have many thousands of hours of "Audio Nirvana".

Pls forgive accidental double post.

Beautiful speakers, beautiful city. Charleston geography quiz--those REALLY in the know are aware that: at Charleston, the Ashley and Cooper Rivers converge, and they form the Atlantic ocean! Just ask any Charlestonian . . . . right, Fuzzy?

SOLD--to a very happy person!

Thanks, Jim. I have gotten very good deals from time to time. Can't expect it to be a one-way street. Like it best, when both/all parties are very pleased with the transaction.

Denon AVR-X4000 Receiver. Powerful, elegant style, and "new" -- well, used less than 24 hours in order to test the functions! Superb Denon receiver--the heart and brain of your audio and video activities. A few of the many upscale features: * 7 channels of amplification rated at 125 watts/ch into 8 ohms * Audyssey MultEQ XT32 with SubEQ HT --automatic room acoustic measurement and correction for the best acoustic output of the speakers and subwoofers, and the most natural tonal balance in virtually any room. * Increased connectivity: -- 7 HDMI inputs -- Adds a 3rd HDMI output, parallel for main zone (e.g. for connecting both a projector and a regular TV in the same room) -- Dedicated PHONO input with pre-amp stage built in -- VINYL LOVERS will appreciate this -- Ethernet Connectivity with Internet Radio ,Streaming Services and AirPlay * 3 Zones instead of 2 Am offering this unused (NEW CONDITION) receiver for only $480. $1,299 is the original MSRP of this receiver, when it debuted a couple of years ago. The ABSOLUTE LOWEST price available on the internet (as of date of posting) is $649.99, for a refurbished unit. I took this receiver in trade for a pair of my very desirable Klipsch speakers, and have left it unused since then (have 2 Yamaha receivers, and another Denon for my use). This receiver includes the setup microphone, the remote control, and the power cord. See photos below. So, email me to make your arrangements to purchase. Am located 30 miles west of downtown St. Louis, MO. You will be delighted, and should have many thousands of hours of audio and video bliss!
