We have dealt with FedEx for many years. Never had a bad experience, or a damaged shipment.
On the other hand, there are a lot of less than reputable sellers on Ebay. Ask me how I know!
Get a full refund. Then make your purchase from a reputable dealer. I learned the hard way.
Every speaker in my house, those that are not built in wall or ceiling speakers, 24 total (18 Klipsch), were all purchased online from a legit dealer. All shipped via FedEx, or UPS. Never had any problem. Not even a scratched box.
Buying on Ebay raises red flags.
Interesting. This guy has been a seller for a long time and sold about ten RC-64 iii before I bought one, all with good feedback. Bad luck I guess.

Would you keep it with a 50% return on your money?
I took all the feedback into consideration and gave it a lot of thought. That's what I ended up doing though. The seller agreed for a 50 percent refund. I took it to a talented friend who is pretty handy with woodwork among other things. He said he could fix it. I will post a picture of it when he is done.

That is frustrating! What does it look like with the speaker grill on? If you can live with that, ask the seller for a partial discount. If they don't do a partial discount that makes you happy, send it back and find something else. I know I don't like distracting shiny things around my TV, so I always have the grill on my RC-7
It doesnt look too bad with the grill on. You notice it a bit in the day time but at night its barley visible. I do prefer the grills off though -

I agree, it would have to be a healthy refund for me to keep that.
@BadAndyMan Paducah Home Theater is a licensed Klipsch dealer, can you send that speaker back to Ebay?
Yeah the seller will accept a return if I choose to. Since it arrived damaged, the seller is actually obligated to.

Purchased an open box, like new condition RC-64 iii on on eBay for $1050. FedEx handled it pretty roughly as the the outside box was pretty mangled.
The seller is offering a partial refund if I desire to keep it.
I wish the damage was on the back of it. It is unfortunately on the front so I will have to look at it all the time. Its a pretty speaker but I feel like that's ruined now. The grill does a decent job of covering it but still noticeable. I prefer to have the grill off though. The seller is asking what I think is a fair partial refund. Honestly, I am not really sure but I am pretty picky about this and what I am thinking would probably not be fair. What would you guys say?
Also I am curious if anyone has experience on fixing stuff like this on these speakers? I am curious what steps you took and materials you used?

Looking to buy a pair of used RP-502S Ebony surround speakers
Location - Boise, ID

Seems like buying these open box new or used is the way to go. Any advice on where you guys hunt for these speakers is appreciated. Sure are tough to find below their MSRP.
I see some on Ebay right now for 1099 each plus $500 shipping for the pair but just exploring options
Location - Boise, ID

Thanks for the suggestions. What are your thoughts on moving the BICs to the rear? I have not decided what I will do with the equipment I have as it could potentially be useful for my computer room which I play games on as well.

Hi all,
I am an audiophile wannabe and I am looking into upgrading my current home theater sound experience. II have had my current setup for about 4 years and I am just not 100% satisfied with it. It sounds little muddy especially on the Front right and left speakers. I wish I had done a little more research before purchased all the equipment.
I need some help as it has become pretty overwhelming with all of the brands, models and price points out there. I have taking a like to Klipsch from the research I have done and I thought I would come to the experts who have a lot of experience of equipment and knowledge of how sound equipment works.
I like crisp clean sound where the bass packs a house shaking punch!
My Budget - $1600
Usage - Movies/Music/Video Games
Speaker distances from the primary sitting spot.
- Front L and R - 11 ft.
- Center - 10.4 ft
- Surround L 5ft
- Surround R 4ft
- Sub 8 ft.
Living Room Size - roughly 260 square feet
What I currently own
- Front L and R - BIC DV64
- Center - Polk CS10
- Surround - Klipsch KB-15 Icon bookshelf
- Sub - BIC F12
- AVR - Yamaha RX-V377
Side note - There is a pair of new R-28f speakers for $550 on craigslist in my area right now. I have my eye on those but I will wait for suggestions. The guy bought them at bestbuy on blackfriday but they are too big for his setup. He will return them tomorrow if nobody buys them.
KEF R3 Meta Single Bookshelf Speaker - Black Gloss - Open Box - $1,100
in Garage Sale
Posted · Edited by BadAndyMan
Forgot to add the price
I bought 2 new pairs of KEF R3 Meta speakers but only needed 3 speakers so I am selling one if anyone out there needs a single for their center channel or needs a replacement. I have opened the box but I have not opened the wrapping of the other speaker inside and I have also not taken it out of the box. I will put the grill, rubber feet and bass port plug inside for you as well. I will ship to you via UPS ground.
