    WTB pair of bases for RP-280F's

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    The RP-280F's I recently bought for the living room system did not have bases.  This was fine on our current hardwood but the house we are renting for the next year or so is carpeted all around.  I don't want to risk them tipping over and hurting anyone or anything.

     

    A pair from Klipsch will be ~ $150 shipping included.  Just seeing if a member has a pair that they aren't going to use and how much they would want for them.  ZIP code 23602.  Thanks!

    Perhaps it is 200 hours of self assured solipsism. I don't get it either how things like Beeswax Impregnated fuses find buyers at $250 a pop "on sale". Audiogon is a source of amusement and apparently where the crazies go to purchase bragging rights.

    Audiogon is a great site to buy lightly used equipment at tremendous discounts, because rich guys drawn to the next new shiny are willing to clear out their living rooms at a significant financial loss.  Awesome place to shop, terrible place to do research.

    Wow!  I was heavily eyeing these as a possible purchase next year when I had some funds, but here you are selling them half price!

     

    I'm wary of dual 8's not putting out the kind of bass I would want.  As an owner can you give ma an honest brief review of how they stand?  Harsh or smooth highs?  Accuracy of the mids?  Can the lows move your soul without a sub?

     

    I'm rethinking my whole setup and in the process of selling all my speakers (even the KLF10's) and starting over.  These were on my short list, but the $$ wasn't there to buy new.

     

    And since you do have the boxes, would you be willing to ship to the east coast (on my dime, of course)?  Even with shipping costs, it would be well south of the $2500 for a pair of them new.

     

    I know I'm asking a lot, but if you have the time I'd appreciate it!

    Well, Cleveland gave up in the 3rd quarter.  Literally not even playing like they care.  Both teams should just clear the bench in the 4th and call it a night.

     

    Congrats Warriors, again.  Ugly game to end LJ's Cleveland career.

     

    (now if I wake up tomorrow and find out that Cleveland came back and won, shame on me 😛)

    Offensively I think both teams played excellent ball. It was the best game of the series so far, if you like watching team ball and execution.  Lots of screens, cuts, drives and so many beautiful passes from both teams.  That game last night exemplified why we're watching Cleveland and Golden State, and not Houston vs Boston. It was really a shame that one team had to lose. 

     

    As an added plus, it was a close game that wasn't decided by officiating.

     

    When Durant hit that 3 from the exact same spot where he won Game 3 last year, I just burst out laughing. Total deja vu.

    GAME 2

     

    The good news is the Cavs are playing even with the Warriors in the 3rd quarter.

     

    The bad news is they are down by ten.

    They played good enough to beat any other team in the league. 

     

    Unfortunately, GS was finally playing GS ball, and they're unstoppable when that happens. 

     

    Of course it doesn't happen every game, so we'll see how the Cleveland trip plays out.

    Rooting for Golden State but Cleveland gave that one away. Damn!  Once they blew a sure thing in regulation they had no life left in them. 

     

    And OMFG Draymond Green really needs to stop trying to be Dennis Rodman. Sometimes he does more harm than good out there.

    Houston was up by 11 at one point I believe but GS did their 3'rd quarter thing again.  CP3 going down was the difference in the series I truly believe.  Houston was poised to win up to that point.

    Indeed, and in the 1st half they were doing great in the paint as well as outside.  I had to go to bed at halftime or I wouldn't have gotten the 5 hours sleep I did manage, but it seems like they relied too much on the long ball when GS was chipping away in the 3rd.  Game 7 was almost a mirror image of 6.  They've been saying for decades, you live by the 3, you die by the 3.

     

    Even without Chris Paul they had a fair chance to win both those games and should have won one of them.  Let's hope they rematch next year with both teams fully healthy.

    I was rooting for the Celtics and Rockets to make the finals, but both teams stunk it up in Game 7.  They were playing street ball, fire at will.  At least Houston had people in position to rebound most of the time.  I know it's due to inexperience, but Boston wasn't running any sets or isolation, so their bigs were never in place when the shots went up.

     

    Sadly, "bombs away" only works when said shots are going in.  27 straight 3-point misses for the Rockets?  Had they drove to the hoop for half of those possessions they probably would have won.  They were doing well with that and went away from it.

     

    So now it's Cleveland / Golden State AGAIN.  I'm calling Warriors in 5, 6 at the most.  But at least we'll see some drives and layups and dunks instead of three dozen 30-foot bricks per game.

    Oh goodness... those speakers were my Playboy centerfolds as a young man in the 90's!  I remember my poor self trying so hard to set aside money so that one day I could drive to Illinois and buy a pair right from the factory in person.

     

    Never happened... life kept getting in the way.  Anyways, best of luck!  Anyone who knows what those beasts are will jump on them quick.

    A lot of women love gala, and many live vicariously through rich beautiful women.  You see it so often in retail.  Stand in line at a grocery store or Walgreen's and you have to look at Jennifer Anniston or Princess Whomever or the bachelorette on the cover of 20 different magazines.  Expensive handbags and perfumes named after actresses or singers.

     

    Marilyn Monroe has been dead over 50 years and she still graces calendars and magazine covers.  Elizabeth Taylor's brand rakes in millions per year.  I'm sure the late Princess Diana was mentioned a billion times during the latest wedding coverage.

     

    Then you have soap operas, which were honestly the precursor to reality shows.  The lives and loves of beautiful rich people.  I don't understand the addiction fascination, but I have seen its effects for a really long time.
