  1. Leslie, As others have said: truly sorry for your loss. If my wife and I hadn’t just purchased a new house, I’d be hopping on I-40 and heading towards you in a heartbeat. Wish you all the best.
  2. I checked the 450c; depth of 14+" and weighs over 35 lbs. I would definitely be extra cautious mounting it above a tv. Painting the brackets black (or wall color) should make it "disappear. Here are some images I found:
  3. I will let others chime in with their opinions on brands and features, but I've had positive experiences with Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, Integra and Marantz. I don't think a receiver is that important, rather the speakers and room acoustics. Whatever receiver you buy now will be somewhat outdated in just a few months; it's how things go. But keep an eye on the HDK, 4K, Atmos, yada yada yada, and whichever features you want/need. If I were in your shoes, I would head over to accessories4less . com and browse their refurbished options - you can find heavily discounted items. I bought a Denon 4520 from them and it worked perfectly.
  4. No affiliation, just stumbled upon this. One damaged corner, but heavily discounted. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/ele/d/klipsch-cornwall-iii-one-week/6606998421.html
  5. Happy Friday, y'all. If anyone is looking through ebay today (06/29), there's a 15% coupon (min $25 purchase; max $100) discount. Code: PERFECTDAY Couple of interesting listings I found: Forte III, Walnut, $1300 each: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Forte-III-Heritage-Speaker-genuine-Walnut-finish-AUTHORIZED-DEALER/132608619770?hash=item1ee016f4fa:g:niAAAOSwk~ZaOtBv Forte III, Distressed White Oak, $2800 pair: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Forte-III-Distressed-White-Oak-Pair-Tower-Speakers-Open-Box/173227229610?hash=item285525c1aa:g:rFwAAOSwM79asWVA

    Huh. I didn't know Sunfire had receivers. Sweet! GLWS!
  7. I can't stand facebook. But will open it in order to look at some speakers 😁
  8. Also, promo code PFREEMINI for a "free" Google Home Mini, on purchases over $150. Ebay has been having quite a few promo code sales lately, so keep an eye out. I think the last one was either 10 or 15% off (max discount of $50 or $75 I think). I had a UPA-700 a few years back - nice gear.
  9. Awesome! It's one helluva sub. The ICE amp is pretty sweet - play with 'room size' and see how that works best for you. If you wanna dive into the rabbit hole, download REW (Room Equalizer Wizard)... but most of all, enjoy the sub and have fun!
  10. Just FYI, make sure you create a (free) FedEx account. When I shipped things, I saw a nice discount.
  11. Depending on location, budget and luck 😛, putting speakers behind an AT screen means you don't have to worry too much about how they look... focus on the sound. Opinions may vary but, when possible, always have the same LCR, to have a seamless front stage. I would keep an eye on the used market around your area, maybe you can find some deals.
  12. As an owner of two PSA XV15se, I highly recommend their subs (and customer service that Tom offers). Where are you located? Keep an eye on their outlet section, because you can save a bit of money as well. I really like the finish on the subs - industrial, super durable finish.
  13. I'm not exactly sure what this does, or what it's worth, but vinyl people may be interested. This isn't my ad; no affiliation either. Ad: http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649431187-nitty-gritty-10-record-cleaning-vacuum/ " I have a fully functional Nitty Gritty 1.0, purchased new from NeedleDoctor. This has served me well over the years, but I have moved on to another vacuum. Note that my price of $195 includes PayPal and shipping fees within the US (I'm estimating $50+ in costs I'll be eating on this). Why is the price so low? The top plate needs to be glued back down. This may be as simple as just pulling out the glue gun and recreating that seal, but I already had my eyes on moving up the vacuum chain so it's a good time to just let it go. Without that top plate being glued down, I've been manually holding it down with my hand when I run the vacuum in order to get the seal needed for suction power. If you're interested in having it professionally refurbished, Kevin Berg took over Nitty Gritty in January 2018 and is now producing new units again, and will be servicing existing units again, having taken over the business from Gayle. When I inquired with Gayle last year, it sounded like a ~$50 job to perform that resealing work + put new velvet cleaning pads on the unit. There is zero water damage to the wood, and the vacuum runs as reliably and strongly as it did on day one. However, unit is sold AS-IS and is photographed and/or described with everything to note its condition. Note: Back up for sale 5/1/18 - previous buyer was using a fraudulent account. "
  14. Screenshot of all the pics, just in case the ad goes MIA.
  15. That bungie cord/rope or whatever is keeping the doors closed... do you have cats/dogs/kids? 😁 Great deal indeed!
  16. A quick and easy option is to "edit" the picture on Paint, click resize and shrink those images to an appropriate size.
  17. I'd check out pinkbike classifieds and see if there are comps regarding price
  18. No affiliation whatsoever, but I am hesitantly posting the ad for other people to see... since I'd love to get these puppies myself! 😁 Pics in case ad is deleted; description below: " I am reluctantly selling these wonderful, but fairly larger stand mounts because I am running out of room in my small apartment. The RB75's are the best monitors Klipsch has every produced outside of the Palladium RB 17's which list for 4K. They are dynamic, immediate, have great bass for a monitor, and are just plain musical. The RB-75's have a 1.75" compression driver and an 8" ceramtallic cone woofer. I truly wish I could keep them, but they are taking up too much space. I have the shipping boxes, but I want a local deal. This pair is in the much more desirable cherry finish and I would rate their condition 7/10. Paypal add 3% and please check my perfect Audiogon feedback under guppy. Please see more pictures on the Audio Asylum Classified. Thank you for reading my ad. "
  19. No affiliation. I think the Palladiums seldom pop into the market, may be a good deal, may not... here are the pictures in case ad is deleted. http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649432193-klipsch-palladium-p17b/ " These are really great horn loaded monitors which are the best monitors Klipsch ever produced and are now discontinued. They have the immediacy, detail, and excitement of horns with a good deal of refinement and smoothness that makes these speakers high end. This particular pair is in great condition and I would love to keep them, but they are a little large for my small crowded bedroom and finances dictate that I must reluctantly sell this beautiful pair of dynamic and musical monitors. Erick Lichte stated in his excellent Stereophile review "The Klipsch Palladium P-17B is a world-class bookshelf loudspeaker. Yes, it's a bit expensive, and it doesn't play the lowest octave of bass. However, its performance and appearance reflect well-grounded engineering, thoughtful visual design, and immaculate execution. I've heard many other speakers that cost much more that don't offer this level of performance and beauty of appearance." John Atkinson added "Not only is Klipsch's Palladium P-17B a beautiful-looking speaker, it seems equally well engineered, and a genuinely 21st-century horn design." The Palladium 17-B's were Class A rated by Stereophile. Please add 3% for Paypal and a discount will be given for a local transaction. The price is $2295. or best offer. Thank you for reading my ad and please check my perfect Audiogon feedback under guppy. "
  20. No affiliation. https://denver.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-sw-12-dual-12/6574501710.html " Up for grabs is a Klipsch SW-12 subwoofer. It's an old school beast of a sub. See pics for reference. It has two 12" woofers in a sealed enclosure, I'm pretty sure the one on the rear is passive. The volume knob is a bit touchy, one of the spikes is missing it's cover and there's a water ring on the top. But for $100 this is one good sub. This is for pick up only, price is firm. "

  22. Not affiliated, related, belated, nor intoxicated with the person in any way. I'm simply caffeinated (and bored!) at work. https://tucson.craigslist.org/ele/d/vintage-pair-of-klipsch-kg4/6584820449.html "This is a pair of older KLIPSCH KG4 Loudspeakers with Walnut Finish + Risers. Very nice condition. No damage to any of the sound components. A small line dent in the top and a small piece of veneer missing on the lower corner of the riser. If you're looking at this listing, you probably know all about these speakers. The pictures should tell the rest of the story. Dimensions are 16" wide x 11" x 28" high and each weighs 40 lbs. You can bring your electronics to test them if you like. Call Ron @ show contact info and leave a message or text. "
  23. No affiliation. I've been drinking a lot of coffee at work, and decided to browse nearby craigslists. I'll post a couple that (IMHO) look interesting, including pictures in case they get deleted. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/ele/d/vintage-klipsch-speakers/6579464796.html Klipsch Forte II 3 Way Horn Loaded Speakers. Finished in Ebony. Sonically perfect. Cabinets show well with some normal imperfections after 30 years. Manufactured in October of 1989 and are consecutive serial numbers. All original including speaker cloth. Here's a chance to own one of the legends in sound at a great price. Klipsch has reintroduced this speaker in their Heritage series for Thirty Six Hundred Dollars a pair. Thanks for looking !!!!
