  1. My opinion is that they went for a bit much considering we don't know what's in the box. Are they still "mint" or are they "fair" because they were stored for years in a guy's garage and the cold winters & humid summers have taken their toll? On the other hand, if the buyer was able to go view them at the pickup location they may have known exactly what they were buying.
  2. Well, they went for more than I was willing to part with.
  3. Looks like the flipper's ad is gone now. When I looked earlier today, he had them at $475.
  4. Yes, the KV4 is the intended center for the Epic Series but I've A/B compared with the KLF C7 and my ears prefer the KLF C7 for dialog. My wife, who has spent the last 20+ years listening to good audio systems we've owned is also pretty good judge. She gave the KLF C7 the thumb's-up during my comparison of the two. YMMV but that's our opinion over here.
  5. I wonder how many emails the $200 seller got from hopeful buyers? At the flipped price of $500, these still seem like a bargain but then again, I don't follow pricing on these so maybe I'm off.
  6. 100% agree. I have my version 1 CF3's paired with a VTA ST-70 tube amp and the combo is hands-down my favorite setup I've ever had; beating out dozens of other speaker/amp combos I've owned over the last twenty+ years.
  7. Good idea. In fact, I had the same thought so I tried that swap yesterday with some KLF-10 woofers I had picked up and the magnets are about half the size of the KLF-20 woofers.
  8. Hi all, looking for a pair of the KLF-20 woofers; model K-1036-K. Let me know if you have a pair you'd be willing to part with. I'm located in the Minneapolis area. Thanks!

  10. We are also in the middle of purchasing our next home (sold the old house 11-18) and I've said "no" to LOTS of homes that didn't have good spaces for audio. I like the kitchen analogy someone else mentioned. I met Jill a couple times in the early 2000's when she was still relatively new to Klipsch. I was working in the CE industry back then and we crossed paths at a couple industry events. She's super down-to-earth and is passionate about her music. Congrats to Jill on her new home and speakers!
  11. Any more pictures available?
  12. Clearly son, I'm not the one in need of relaxing.
  13. Please allow me to reiterate that in a public forum people express opinions and ideas, we see it all the time in just about every post. "Wow, great price" & "Those are in rough shape" are two common examples of opinions stated by individuals not involved in transactions here. Also, it's clearly not just for those in SOCAL. OP states "...unless you can arrange a shipping service to your location." This implies it's available to most of us. Cheers.
  14. Maybe it's just me but I think I'd hang onto a spare for the parts, maybe do a center rear or when you sell them to the next person you'll have a matched pair....
  15. If I remember correctly, Dan felt that all the power conditioners out there were current limiting and therefore robbing his design of performance.
  16. I still say a powered sub is the way to go if you're craving quality bass though.
  17. This is exactly why I purchased a Krell 300i; back then I owned Martin Logan SL3's which are known to go as low as 1.5 ohms at the upper end of the frequency spectrum. It was a wonderful pairing that I miss.
  18. I owned a Krell 300i back in the day and while it can deliver the right amount of power for strong bass, there's no substitute for a properly placed subwoofer that's been dialed-in when it comes to the very bottom octave.
  19. So you're only considering brand new speakers? The used speaker recommendations from the other members are very good suggestions considering your budget. You'll get a much better speaker if you buy used than if you buy new. $1500 would easily get you a pair of KLF-30's which would absolutely blow away rp8000 if your goal is to get as loud as possible.
