  1. It sounds perfect!  I sold home and car audio from the end of the 80’s til 2000, but I’m a fan, not a critic. I’ll probably never complain about timbre matching. I bought the Academy to match the veneer and era of the other speakers in the 5.1, not because of a sound issue with the 250. To my ears, the RP-250C does everything the Academy does with no problems. 

  2. I finally found the Walnut Oil Academy I was waiting for, so I am selling my RP-250C center channel that I bought in December. It is in excellent condition, with no rips, dents, snags, or scratches. I still have the original box and instructions. How’s $220 shipped sound?

  3. Finally!  One listed on ebay. I snatched it up in minutes. The seller messaged me that he had a second Academy in walnut if I needed it. I didn’t. He listed it, and it sold in less than ten minutes. Apparently walnut Academy speakers go fast!!!!!  Can’t wait for it to show up on Wednesday so I can fire her up and see what needs to be done (crossover, driver upgrades). My Klipsch happiness is all Walnut Oil 5 channel speakers. Now, perhaps Klipsch made Walnut Oil subwoofers..........

     

    It’s too late for me.

  4. Hey Klipschophiles!  I’m still holding out hope for a nice Academy in Walnut Oil to match my beautiful Walnut Fortes.  Anyone out there?  I love my RP-250C, but I’m jonesing for a matched finish surround setup.  My rears are Walnut Oil KG 1.2’s that are perfect and just the right size for my situation. Every time I sit down they whine at me sadly, though, looking for their long lost matching center. Please help put the family together  😢

  5. That lava lamp is much too modern and, as such, is definitely not timbre matched to those Khorns!  The LL people went to a cheaper Chinese wax in 1994 that has completely different tonal characteristics. The least you could do is swap out the light bulb for one with a Crites filament. 

     

    Pretty speakers, btw. Wish I lived closer.

  6. I have loved my Forte I’s forever. Used to sell Klipsch end of 80’s / beginning of 90’s at Good Vibes Sound in Champaign, IL. I keep jonesing for a center to match their finish. I would love to find the Klipsch Academy in Walnut Oil in good condition.  Anyone have one?  Somewhat limited budget, but hopeful.....

     

    One post limit per day for this newbie, so I guess I’ll respond to any postings once a day!
