[Practically stupid Klipsch downgrade sale]

You have all contributed to my healing and made me see the error in my ways.  To the RP-150 offer, thanks for the smack in the back of the head.  I woke up.

 

In fact I'm returning the runt height speakers (got what I ordered on these) and getting a size more inline with everything else.

 

In a couple of years I'll figure out what to do. Now I'll just enjoy.

 

Thank you all for making me appreciate my good fortune, deserved or not.

I appreciate the advice and in my defense, I titled this stupid. Apparently I am right. But, I felt that if I waited for two years to sell, buyer appeal diminishes.  Right now these are new.  All of the small speakers (except towers) will fit in balikbayan boxes which ship for $75 regardless of weight. They just have to fit.

 

Even the smaller Klipsch are certain to give me great listening pleasure.  If I wait, my discretion will increase and I might not be able to settle for smaller.  Thanks to you guys, it might already be too late.

BLUF:  I'll explain, but want to give you the bottom line up front.  All speakers received 1 week ago, new in box.  Need to sell this big stuff for the price of replacing with the small stuff.  All values/prices calculated on Amazon w/taxes (you can validate) without shipping costs.  Will sell or trade for speakers I'm seeking.  A trade would require speakers packed in Klipsch box.

 

I'm in the San Diego area.

Explanation:  I ordered a whole suite of the smaller Klipsch Reference Premier speakers (culminating in a 7.2.2 system).  Something happened part way and the order got inexplicably delayed.  When the speakers finally arrived, I opened boxes to find a remarkable upgrade as you can see above.  I can only assume since the RP-250 line has been discontinued, they filled my order with the above.  At first, I was elated!  Yes, I stood this system up along with the surround and height speakers I ordered (those are already the smaller sizes).  Why wouldn't I keep this unimaginable upgrade?  Especially considering the wonderful sound I'm experiencing.  But, practical kicked in and so I have to do something stupid.  I'm retiring in another country in two years.  Anything I want to keep has to be shipped.  I can't even fathom what shipping these RP-280F skyscrapers overseas would cost me!  I don't want to spend anymore to downgrade.  I've spent a lot already.  I just need to get the smaller speakers and you get to enjoy the my fortunate upgrade for the downgrade price.  Open to suggestions.
