Since Oppo closed, the used Oppo market dried up quickly. I guess everyone is holding onto them.
Happy I got my 3 Oppo players when I did. Felt even better after I sold one for $3K+.

What should I offer the owner, and what to expect to sell them for, to be fair to everybody involved?
They will need a new home - no room to keep them here - I have Klipsch stacked to the ceiling times 4!
Here's a great idea you forgot to consider. You space is limited, so why take possession at all? Offer to help your "friend" with pricing and listing. Your "friend" will sell them fast at a fair price and be greatful to you for your help. Thats what "friends" are for. When my "friends" turn to scalping my stuff, I am not so pleased with the "friendship".

I have a chance to buy back a pair of Klipsch Chorus II's that I sold to a local friend a few years ago.
What should I offer the owner, and what to expect to sell them for, to be fair to everybody involved?
What kind of question is this? Who would know better than you what they are worth, to you, better than you, who both bought and and sold, and potentially repurchased the exact same pair a second time around. Why even ask that here in Garage. Post the sale with pics and prices. No bush beaters needed here. We already know what they are worth to us.

RF3 ii in original boxes. No dings or scratches. Grills are soaking in the bathtub. Took off the ugly shoes.
Needed something different for the bedroom and these were the perfect width. Location is photo-op only. My bed is very tall so I'll probably make some torsion box risers and fill them with sand and also buy some spikes.

Equaling the surface area has little to do with the performance of a given subwoofer.
My post is about applied math, not subwoofer performance. Not sure why you quoted me.

Speakers are Sold. I am almost done crying. I was the original and only owner of this pair of speakers. I had them for 30 years and loved them. A little too much base for me, I had to back off the base often.
I need something lighter and smaller that can make frequent moves with me.
Best regards to all!
Vicki
Sorry for your loss. Maybe these will cheer you up. They may be perfect for your short term goals.

Question
What is the difference in surface area when comparing dual 12" woofers to a single 15 woofer.
(A = 2π 6²)/(B = π 7.5²)=X
Solve for A = 226
Solve for B = 177
X = 1.28
Answer
dual 12" woofers are 28% larger than a singe 15" woofer.
For extra credit answer
Tell the size of the subwoofer required to equal the surface area of dual 12" woofers.
Answer 17"
Now it's your turn
What size subwoofer is required to equal the surface area of dual 15" woofers?

The USPS is not a business and that's why it's still in business. It is a government run thingy that constantly losses money.

So is that kind of like how the U.S. airline and automibile companies work too? Or do they just take the government bailout money without the government run part? Asking for a friend.

In that case. The oil in Danish oil will feed the wood but the stain will stay on top for me to wipe off no? Repeated applications of Danish oil gives protection?
My local home depot doesn't have much outside of Howard's and watco stuff. Theres a rockler 45 min away that has more options but im not in the mood. Dont know where else

I appreciate the lengthy and detailed post. What I think ill do is apply Danish oil with #0000 steel wool. Maybe 2 applications? Wipe off all excess oil and wait for a few days and then apply a wax finish.
Howard's restore a finish is an option. Will it work before or after Danish oil?
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Howard's Restore a finish is not a finish and it is NOT an option for you. Forget about it. Howard's Feed N' Wax is oil and beeswax and has very little added protection. It will also attract dust and require repeated applications. I found Watco rejuvenating oil to be darkening, it is kind of reddish brown, all be it without the stain added to the rest of their line. Watco rejuvenating oil is not Danish oil because it does not contain varnish. The good thing about oil and wax is you can remove it without abrasives or strippers. The bad thing about Danish oil is that it has varnish which is hardening and sealing which with enough coats can be much more difficult to remove. Another point to be made here is stain will not penetrate a sealed surface.

I'm thinking Danish oil since I've used it before but not sure if it does anything over a previous finish. I know of Howard's restore a finish but I wanted something to make the cherry grain really pop in the light.

Oil over oil. What can go wrong? Howard's is a good product, but not for your application. Totally different product and use, unless you have a lacquer finish. You don't.

Just got home with my new v.1 CF4s in beautiful cherry! Anyone got any tips to apply some kind of oil with #0000 steel wool that'll really make the speaker pop while covering small scratches?
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Best lazy crowd "I don't want to know too much so just give me an answer", answer... buy a can of Watco.
I have a 300 page book dedicated to wood finishing. There are 100 answers to your question. Depends on what you want to do. You can't make the wood do anything that isn't already there, but you can, in some cases, make it appear to have changed, or you can sometimes make it disappear. Cherry isn't going to "pop" much. With cherry veneer, you are most likely to do your best with as clear of a finish as possible. Now if decide what you want is more protection, again, 100 more answers to how to accomplish that. Remember that the sole purpose of a wood finish is to protect the wood. Some finishes have the effect of slightly altering the look of the wood. Stain by itself is not a protectant, but it will apply color. Paint is a cover and it will protect. UV damages all finishes and some finishes can include UV protectant. UV protectant is expensive, if you paid just a little for it you got just a little UV additive.
Order of protection level for oil finishes are as follows
oil/thinner
oil/wax
oil/thinner/varnish
shellac
lacquer
varnish/oil
Differences in oil finishes my be the type of oil used, the type of thinner used, or the type of varnish used within each product. Additives and driers are also a variable. Water finishes have the advantage of drying clearer, non yellowing, drying faster, but do require more coats and will have a slightly less protection level than their oil counterparts. There are a huge list of brands and products to avoid. That is a good thing. It is easier that way to find a product on the shelf that you can settle in with.

Some might include the vertical Cornwall laid horizontally.
Now your getting it! We are not talking about a plug in here. All before mentioned options that existed before were the result of the lack of a true center. We are talking about a true modern designed timbre matched MTM center for the Forte IV and for the Cornwal IV. Really want to crush the competition? Maintain a 3 way design.

According to history, both the Cornwall and Heresy started out as center speakers, so...a heritage center isn't taboo at all to the heritage prestige. Just needs to be horizontal for the modern home.

The KG, Quartet-Forte-Chorus and Legendary KLF and Epic lines all had their baby, middle brother, big brother and timbre matching center. I can't imagine that was good business, but it was great for all of us. These days, with the Forte's entrance into the Heritage lineup, there's no room for a Chorus with the Cornwall IV and there's no room for a Quartet with the Heresy IV. What would sell however, imo, is a heritage matched Center speaker and subwoofer
The center can now be timbre matched to the HIV, CWIV and now Forte IV so it makes a lot of sense imo. IIRC, there was already a heritage sub in the works that never came to fruition?
Nominated for the comment of the day award.
To this I say that, as unfortunate as it may be, adding another new speaker in the line-up which would actually be "better" on some performance levels, while simultaneously stealing sales away from the other existing speakers, is obviously not in the cards at this late stage. Manufacturing a better speaker for some of us is not always better for Klipsch from a net profit standpoint. To the exact point Maximus89 made above, a timber matched and cosmetically designed center channel and subwoofer would only add to sales without cannibalizing the existing Klipsch Heritage lines. I think it is well past due that Klipsch take their extremely financially safe and passive approach to preserving the Heritage lines as 2 channel specialist and expand to 3.1. at a minimum. At least this one time. I really feel they owe us this one. 20,000 units each to start. What say you "keepers of the sound"?

OMG. I can't believe I missed this. So sad. RIP BEC. Bob has helped me on an unquantifiable level, directly or indirectly, more than almost anyone else on this website. I wish his family well and hope they choose to continue his legacy, but we certainly all have lost a truly irreplaceable man.
