  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. 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.

    Didn’t Roy / @Chief bonehead design these?  If so, he knocked this one out of the park!   Thank you, Sir.  I’m a fan of your work.

    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.

  4. 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!

    Yeah, it's just you. Let me re-ittarate, it's just so those on SOCAL 


    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.

    I fetched the manual for the current iteration of that Krell a bit earlier.  They say outright not to use power conditioners.  Interesting...

     

    If I remember correctly, Dan felt that all the power conditioners out there were current limiting and therefore robbing his design of performance.

    The amp needs to be able to deliver enough current at the desired SPL to cover where the frequency dips below 4 Ohms.

     

    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.

  8. 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.
