Thanks for the heads up. I go away for one weekend, and missed out on a great deal. I appreciate you thinking of me...

Super Heresy!

Aren't we all? *<;o)

And they appear to be sold.

Lovely. I might go $40 as something to play with.

Heck, I would sell you TWO perfect pairs of these for that price.

That's what they are figuring the Covid disaster has cost so far, 3 Trillion Dollars. Let's talk about a Trillion dollars for a minute. Most people have no understanding, no "gut feeling" about just how much money that entails. When I used to work for the "World's Largest Bank©", I had a coworker who was rather liberal and her solution to any societal ill was to assign responsibility for it to the federal government. I asked how they would pay for it and she stated that they could print another Trillion Dollars. When I asked if she had any real idea of how large a trillion was, she said "I guess not". I came up with a scenario that explains it, and gives you that gut feel: If you borrow a certain amount, the repayment plan is always the same: One dollar every second until the loan is paid off. You borrow $1,000,000 (One Million Dollars) and repay at the dollar per second rate, and it takes you 11.57 DAYS to pay off your loan. You borrow $1,000,000,000 (One Billion Dollars), it will take you 31.7 YEARS to pay it off. Still not too bad, people pay off 30 year mortgages, right? You borrow $1,000,000,000,000 (One Trillion Dollars), it will take you 31,709 YEARS to pay it off. 31 years to nearly 32,000 years! Considering that our oldest written history is roughly 5,000 years ago, you would have to pay the rate for 6x longer than that. The REAL gut punch is that we are nearly 25 Trillion dollars in debt. Not one. Not three. 25 Trillion dollars would take you 792,725 years! You will have noticed that I didn't include any interest in these calculations. You can probably imagine what the interest alone on $25T would be. (It feels weird to type that figure. $25, $25k, $25M, even $25B seem normal by comparison!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can check my math if you care to do so: There are 86,400 seconds per day, this figure will give you the answer in days. 1,000,000 / 86,400 = 11.57 days For a billion, it makes more sense to convert to years: (1,000,000,000 / 86,400 = 11,574 days) / 365 = 31.709 years For a trillion, the same conversion to years: (1,000,000,000,000 / 86,400 = 11,574,074 days) / 365 = 31,709 years x 25 trillion = 792,725 years total debt. This is over three times longer than homo sapiens have existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How is this sustainable, other than for the US to declare bankruptcy? As long as someone is still willing to extend credit to the federal government, they are still willing to spend it! To give a different scale of the debt size: There are only 95 million single family houses in the US. If we assume an average price of $150,000 per house, that "only" comes up to $14.25 trillion. Apple was the first company to reach the 1 trillion dollar mark, followed by Amazon and Microsoft. Throw those on the pile, too. You get the idea.

Thanks for the heads up!

Got you covered on posting these. In case anyone wants to know, from Craigslist (or any website, really) you open up the pics full size, right click each one and choose "Copy image location". Then paste it into your post here (ctl-v) and hit enter. This forum software does the rest for you.

Even from Central Florida. *<;o) These look like they are about as perfect as you will ever find. I didn't see any chips, dings, or missing veneer. They also appear to be recently oiled / finished. Beautiful. .

If you want to make sure that Gary sees your question, you should use the "@" symbol and then start typing his name. That will send him an alert that you tagged him specifically. @garyeanderson

I have to give a hearty “THANK YOU!” to @billybob for splitting these with me. I met him this afternoon in Chiefland, and he sold me one pair of the KPT-100 along with the wall mounting hardware. Once I play with these for a bit (and make any repairs or upgrades if needed), these will be wall mounted for some good sound in the pool enclosure area. I appreciate you passing the great deal on to me. Thanks again!

The KP-3002's are my desktop speakers, thanks to @Emile. They sound marvelous. Keep in mind that these things are only a few inches shy of three feet tall, and the monitor is a 55" 4k TV. *<;o)

Neil Peart's drum solos will definitely make the hair stand up through these. *<;o)

This was a great deal, and they must have sold very quickly. The CL ad has been taken down already...

I agree completely, a great buy at that price.

I think that amp will make you very happy with the Epics. True 100wpc RMS will sound fantastic in your setup. Congratulations.

My living room has a vaulted ceiling very similar to yours, and the Epics fill that space without even trying hard. They do like power, so you should drive them with an amp that gives you plenty of headroom (on top of your own maximum listening volume).

I've heard the Epic CF-3 / CF-4 being favorably compared to the Klipschorn line. One heck of a nice "starter" set of Big K's. I've got to say that I absolutely love my CF-3's!

He only mentioned the $2,400 figure. I added the math...
