  1. A few days later the seller sends me a picture of a speaker. I said that isn't a klipschorn. He seemed to have forgotten to tell me that the photo in the ad wasn't the actual speaker. The speakers were at a friends house being stored and he didn't have a picture of them. So for the add he pulled a google image. And couldn't find a klipschorn that looked identical to the ones he had. At this point I was rather heart broken and disgusted. I went to the Facebook klipsch owners page with pictures of the speakers and in no time some of the more knowledgeable members told me they were a 1968 klipschorn black fur decorator series that had been "finished". And they weren't worth much like that. Well i I went to check them out and they didn't look bad from 10ft away, but whoever closed in the tops did not due a factory or professional job. At this point I was ready to not even give them a listen. Shortly after the guy hooked them up to a audiomat arpege tube amp. WOW I was completely blown away. I had never heard music like this before. It was a life changing event.
  2. Hello everyone. I have been enjoying my RF-82ii, RC-52, RB-51, SW-115 system for nearly 5 years now. This system sounded better than anything I had ever heard so I have been very pleased with it. I especially enjoy women's vocals and a brighter sound. I got a wild hair from boredom 1 1/2 months ago and looked on the local Craigslist for "klipsch". To my great surprise an ad for some vintage klipschorns popped up. They looked to be in gorgeous condition with a cane grille set. I live in a rural area and was very surprised to see it. I couldn't believe the price of $1800 or the fact they were still posted available after 17days. After talking to the owner i was disheartened to find out I couldn't listen to them or pick them up for a week due to him being out of town. I went into a frenzy once I learned they were available. Immediately started hitting this forum and learning more knowledge of the legendary PWK history.
