Any of the RC-64's are great. I used to own the original RC-64 and now own the 64 III.
The 64 had a 1.25 compression driver. The 64-II went to a 1.75" compression driver. The 64-III is more similar to the 64-II and from what I've read (I think from Cory) the 64-III has more bass compared to the II due to more bass content being produced by modern movies.
I actually like the sound of the 64-I the best. As promised the 64-III has more bass and I prefer the articulation of the original RC-64. Both are phenomenal sounding BTW. You can't go wrong with any of the RC-64's.
RC-64 III, RF-83 and RP-600M.

I collect Bugles in the key of G, from the 1970's and 80's. Two valve only. They are from a great era in DCI competition, Drum Corps International. Drum corps is the genre I most like. It takes horns to play horns!
Here is a DEG soprano bugle, similar to a Bb trumpet.
The Blue Devils from Concord, California absolutely rip through Maynard Ferguson's arrangement of La Fiesta, all on G bugles.

@wvu80 any insight on value?
First of all everybody directly above did a great job of identifying make, model and year of the Khorns, I have nothing more to add.
My spreadsheet has a numerical average of $1924 for Khorns with Type A XO's. The problem is all the data points I have includes all types of condition and the Khorns we are talking about I would put in Condition Avg/Poor which puts them at the lower part of the range. I show one sale in condition C for $1700. I have another listed from 2018 in Condition B for $1200.
I think I would value those Khorns in as-is condition between $1200 and $1700. If they were refinished nicely and XO's replaced or updated I would value them towards the numerical average of $1900.
FYI the average I have for the next gen Khorns with Type AA XO's 1972-82 is $2200.

If memory serves, @wvu80 uses stevia as a sweetener and can speak from personal experience. -Travis
I do use Stevia. I like it when I fix deviled eggs, I like my eggs sweet instead of mustard tart.
I've gone back to natural sugar though. A four pound bag costs two bucks. It's 4 or 5 dollars for a few grams of Stevia. They taste about the same to me.

Hahaha, he's now up to $3000 for the pair.
I just now saw his FB Marketplace ad. It's just as you said, his pricing is all over the place. It's like he's playing one buyer off against another for top dollar
I don't know anything about pro Klipsch speakers. Is his price $3K pr in the ballpark? I'm not interested in them, just curious.

Anyone here buy these?
Not me.
I am within a couple hours from Dunbar and I just saw this thread. The bid was for the entire lot which included the LSI's and the lot sold for $1235. The LSI looks like it might be worth $1000 if all the drivers worked but if I kept it there would be some restoration work needed.
There is nothing else in that lot I found interesting. I just would not have had any use for it and I'd have to pick it up and put it in storage. A good deal perhaps for someone, just not for me.

Welcome to the Klipsch forums and by extension, the Klipsch family.
Yes your Yamaha is strong enough to run the Klipsch RP-6000F. The specifications tell you how much power you could run before the speaker started to distort badly. I think you will enjoy the 6000F with the RX-V6A .

here are some measurements on DBA variations (it is in German, but the graphs speak for themselves)
Thank you for the link. I found the article most interesting and I enjoyed reading it! I believe I now have a much better idea of what you are trying to accomplish. When I first responded I was completely off base thinking of a similar but very different idea of DBA. My apologies for the confusion.
I was able to translate from German into English using Google Translate. The one thing I found confusing was the two DBA types, Mono-DBA and Stereo-DBA. It's probably not important for the sake of what you are trying to do but if you would like to explain further I would be interested to know what DBA you have in mind.
I did find the conclusion similar to what I was suggesting which is how to take the more complicated DBA and use fewer subs to achieve most of the advantages of the setup with more subs. This means I was only half wrong, which still means wrong! 😎
7. Fazit
7. Conclusion
The first longitudinal and latitudinal modes are completely eliminated from all arrangements. The reduced arrangements 4.2 and 4.4 work almost as well as the full DBA arrangement. This means that very good results can be achieved with just two drivers per grid. For stereophony and a single seat along the longitudinal axis of the room, very good results can be achieved with just 2 drivers. Here, 5.2 seems to produce the smallest deviations outside the longitudinal axis. Furthermore, the rear grid density can be lower than the front. Since the level of the rear grille can be lowered in many real living spaces anyway, the costs of the overall arrangement can be optimized.

Thanks for your reply, but I really do know what I need and to get a proper Double Bass Array set up,
you should have at least 2, preferably 4 subwoofers each in front and at the back, positioned at 1/4 room length/height.
It is not about output for me,
its about a flat frequency response. With a DBA Array I am able to get rid of all my Room modes and cancellations. So IT IS actually just 4 subs that I am hearing, the ones in the back are actively absorbing the reflections that are coming from the back wall.
I'm not telling you what you need. I am suggesting you don't need 8 subs to accomplish what 2 or 4 will do.
I read what you wrote about a problem between speakers and subs and not having enough room for both. I suggested a possible solution based on my knowledge and experience. I have a DBA in my home theater. I also own the RP-600M which I'll get to in a moment.
The 600M is a monitor, not a floorstander. The exact answer to your question is "no" the 600M is not an exact replacement for the 8000F in the HF. The 8000F will play louder and with less distortion than the 600M. A single 6.5" woofer is no match for dual 8" woofs.
The 600M is a really nice sounding speaker, I have used it as L/R in a 5.1 system and as L/R in a 2.1 setup. It needs some power to get it going, then has a great midrange sound then it falls off at higher SPL. It will play the frequencies you suggest but not a higher SPL. Very simply it will not keep up with 8 subs. You would have to greatly lower the gain on the subs, not getting their fullest potential.
You can achieve a DBA as you said with 2 or 4 subs which will reduce standing waves. If that is the goal, and the subs interfere with the placement of your excellent 8000F, then what is the purpose of having 8 subs which take up a LOT of room, when the same goal (flattening the peaks and nulls) can be achieved with 2, 3, or 4 subs?
Here is the Youtube vid which influences my thinking on single vs dual subs. Charts and graphs are included and you can see how dual subs flattens the reflections.

The R
59 minutes ago, AKosc said:Everything below 100hz will be handled by the Subwoofer, so actually I really don't need those big towers.
The RP-8000F is a fine speaker and yes you do need those big towers for a full sound.
There's nothing wrong with being a bass head but what you don't need is EIGHT subwoofers. Three to four subs is overkill and will provide 99% of the performance of eight.
I suggest you re-think your music needs and be realistic about how many speakers/subs will fit your space.

Could a moderator please move these posts from the OP's FS thread. They do not belong here.
Not a bad idea Jim, this whole thread and a couple of subsequent comments are a little confusing.
@Franko was looking for help pricing his Heresy's but he is not looking to sell. His question was in the middle of a FS thread. I'm sure he didn't intend it that way, that's just kinda the way it happened.
To be clear, this entire FS thread is also in the wrong place, it's in the Klipsch General Info sub-forum. It will be easier for Jon to get his nice LS's sold if they are in the Klipsch Garage Sale section.
@Jon Wood a more descriptive headline would be: FS: 1979 La Scala pair. Syracuse, NY
We know they are Klipsch.

Lol, not affiliated as post says.
Thanks!
I read that in post one, but the way you and @wstrickland1 were glad handing and back slapping slightly upstream ^^^ it looked like you were the Seller and he was the Buyer.
That was my first mistake of the year. My bad. 😆

Thank you, added to the spreadsheet.
I have a question, @billybob. You weren't the Seller, were you? I don't think so but I thought I would confirm.

I have a question if anyone can help. I have a set of Klipsch speakers from I think 1970. They have been in the family since new.
The TYPE is H-000
and the SERIAL is 655034. Can anyone tell me any and all information about them and a possible idea of how much they are worth. Not looking to sell.
I believe those are Heresy oiled oak from 1978. The condition and location has a big impact on the price. @wvu80 has a spreadsheet and keeps track of used Klipsch prices.
It looks like you guys solved all the mysteries. H-00 isHeresy Oiled Oak. The s/n is 65 H 034. The H is for 1978.
Heresy's in Good condition go for $400 all day long.

I like that DeVante Smith. Fantastic talent and well spoken young man. I don't follow Alabama football so I didn't even know until the game was on that he was the Heisman Trophy winner.
Fortunately the announcers made sure we knew by telling us every time he touched the ball.

The ad says "1980's" $2900. My Heritage Prices spreadsheet shows 1983-99 LS's AVG $1259. He's going to have those for a while.
Not that it matters those are about an hour from me. I don't intend to pursue them.

I would be interested in your opinion regarding not bi-amping.
I have run my speakers with bi-amp and without. I would say there is a slight improvement in mid-range clarity but it's very subtle. If I simply played the speakers I doubt if I could tell if they were bi-amped or not.
I have come to like the speakers better without the bi-amping because I think they are more dynamic, more live! sounding.
Bi-amping does not double the power to the speakers. Rather it tends to cut the power because there are more drivers which need power. Any excess power is converted to heat by the crossover (XO) and is not used.
I see no problem with you bi-amping. My biggest concern on your behalf was that you were having problems with the volume. Eliminating bi-amping would cut down on your variables when trying to troubleshoot.
Now that you have the sound problems worked out, go ahead and try it if you're curious. See how it sounds to your ears, in your listening room with your speakers.

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

RC-64 II vs RC-64 III
in Home Theater
Posted
Nice idea.
If you go with the 64 II and don't like it you can always sell it for what you have in it. Then the 64 III is still an option.
