  1. Update, as of tonight (Sun., 10/12), I'm STILL getting e-mails and PMs about this. All sold!
  2. Thanks lh! You know one thing I have learned though, louder does not neccesarily mean better.
  3. It wasn't you lovebohn! They were or will be notified by PM.
  4. As of today, Sunday, 9/28, I'm still getting PMs about how much I'm asking for something. Once again, if you are seriously interested in any of this stuff, please make me your best offer. I'll give it till next Sunday (10/5), and then whoever made the best offer for whatever particular speakers they wanted will get them. Thanks again.
  5. OK everyone. I've got such a backlog of PMs and emails about these speakers that it's just going to be a whole lot easier just to make 1 general post here on the board. I'm sorry I didn't answer each one individually, but it was getting to be confusing and overwhelming as to trying to figure out who wants what, who has replied by either PM or e-mail, and in some cases, both. Seeing as how everyone seems to want something different, and by that, I mean someone wants the full set of KSPs, someone else wants the KLF C7 and the KSP S6s, some people want either the 400s or the 30s (and in one case, both), another wants the 30s, C7 and the KSP S6s, etc., so on and so forth down the line. I didn't go into this intending to try to turn this into an "auction", but in this particular case since everyone seems to want some of the same things, but yet at the same time not everything just exactly alike, maybe that would be best (also I obviously want to get as much money as I possibly can for them in the process, as it would be foolish not to). So, if anyone is seriously interested in any of this stuff, please PM (and PM ONLY please, no e-mails) me with your best and final offer (not including the shipping charges in that offer, as that would be extra on top of that) on whatever item or items you want. After they are all in, then I'll go from there as to sort out who gets what. BTW, someone who is located close to me wanted to know if they could pick them up if they buy them to save on shipping charges, and yes, that would be fine. Maybe, I'm wrong here, but I honestly feel like this is the fairest thing to do for everyone, including me.
  6. OK, everyone. I was without power for a while because of Hurricane Isabel. I have a boatload backlog of PMs and e mails. I will try to to reply them by tomorrow (Thurs.) Thanks for the reference goirish! BTW, how did the C7 work out for you? Didn't you have Reference series mains?
  7. avman, that is exactly what I've always preached about Klipschs, that you are in effect quadrupling your amplifier power because of their high efficiency as compared to the average 90 db sensitivity rated speaker of most all other brands. As I said before though, and will say again, how much louder than to the point of eventually going deaf does anyone really need for it be anyway? The Polk 150s will play louder than you can stand it (without congestion or compression I might add). As for the Polk 150s, I have them passively biamped with an Adcom gfa 5500 sending 200 watts per channel to the woofers, and an Adcom 5400 sending 125 watts per to the tweets/midranges. That is enogh to make them roar! However, they really do need a lot of power to truly shine to all of their capabilities. BTW, what have you done exactly to help "tame" the 30s down?
  8. "Out of curosity, what have your tastes changed too?" As purely a 2 channel rock and roll speaker, the KLF 30s have already been replaced by Polk RTi150s. I snagged them for $570 new in box for the pair on closeout. The Polk 150s have bass output comparable to the KLF 30s. Actually, the Polk's bass is quicker, tighter, and more accurate, while at the same time, providing no less NOTICEABLE (key word there) output. It has 3 6 and 1/2 inch woofers as opposed to the 30's 2 12 inchers. The tweeters/midranges on the Polk are also much smoother to my ears. I don't know what's happened exactly, but over time, the KLF 30s have got to the point now that they give me listening fatigue if I try to have any extended sessions with them. They just start to irritate me now to the point that I have to turn them off before an hour has even gone by. They start to hurt my ears and give me a headache. I used to like them, but I guess my tastes have just changed as I'm getting older. The Polks obviously definitely need a lot more power than the much more efficient KLFs though, but, I mean how much louder than to the point that you will eventually start to grow deaf do you need for them to be anyway? Polk has a new line coming out, and the RTi150's replacement will be the RTi12, which will have an extra midrange driver than the 150 as well as a Vifa tweeter. I plan on eventually trading up the 150s for the 12s within a year. Actually, the KSPs aren't really too bad compared to the KLFs. I think they are much more smoother and don't grind or grate on my nerves as the KLF 30s do now. I've actually considered keeping them for a 7.1 theater system, but I would still need to get another set of KSP S6s, and we all know what that can be like. If I do replace the KSPs, I'm still not sure exactly what I would go with instead. How does the new Reference series compare to the KSPs? Anybody auditioned them both? I haven't yet heard the Reference myself, but I've heard and read about people saying that they are much smoother than the KLFs are. I've actually considered replacing the KSPs with a complete NHT VT3 system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Just wondering, as I've noticed that the KSP S6s were recomended as the surrounds for the KLFs. Does that mean you could mix and match other speakers of the 2 series together? Has anyone tried this?" "Now I'm wondering what your above question/post was all about?" Keith Nothing more than simply what the question actually was. It's just that, to me anyway, they are so different sounding that I was suprised that the KSP S6s were the recommended surround for the KLFs, because I just don't see how they could possibly match up together and I was just wondering if any one had actually tried to combine any other speakers from the 2 series together.
  9. I'm putting the following Klipsch products are all up for sale. Would be willing to sell them as part of packages, or seperately. KSP400s KSP C6 KSP S6s KLF 30s KLF C7 (brand new in unopened factory sealed box) All are in black. Have boxes and manuals. All are in very good shape/condition. Reason for selling, and I know this probably isn't going to go over too well here, but it's because my tastes have changed, and I simply don't like the "Klipsch sound" as much any more as I used to. I have sold 2 other KLF C7s recently here on this board before with good results, and hopefully the partys involved in those transactions would be willing to give me a good recommendation if anyone wants a reference. Pay pal would be prefered method of payment, but would be willing to accept other methods as well. If anyone may be interested in any or all of this, please PM me.
  10. Just wondering, as I've noticed that the KSP S6s were recomended as the surrounds for the KLFs. Does that mean you could mix and match other speakers of the 2 series together? Has anyone tried this?
  11. Well, let's face it, CC isn't exactly a high end store. That's pretty obvious and it doesn't exactly take an Einstein to clearly see that. However, with that said, you could do a whole lot worse than HK or Onkyo. Matter of fact, I very seriously doubt that any of the other brands would be dramatically superior to HK or Onk. I do have the gift card, and could get out of this very cheaply. So bottom line it, HK or Onkyo with Klipsch? I tend to be leaning more towards the HK set up, but I think it would be a good move not to automatically dismiss Onk without at least considering them first.
  12. To match up with a pair of KLF 30s for 2 channel stereo music listening only, a HK 3475 receiver passively biamped with a HK PA2000 power amp or an Onkyo TX8511 receiver passively biamped with an Onkyo M282 power amp? I have a Circuit City gift card that would pretty much cover either set up. Or other options from other brands, such as Denon, Marantz, NAD, Rotel, Adcom, etc.? Opinions wanted please, and thanks in advance.
  13. Golrish, before I even check my messages, I can tell you right now I know absolutely nothing about the RC-7. Maybe others can weigh in who might know?
  14. Hello all. I've been getting several emails regarding this, and I've also apparantly NOT been getting some e-mail messages someone tried to send. I don't know who is who as far as e-mail names matching up to board names. If you do send me a message, please also include your board name with it so I can sort it all out. As of today, Friday 6/20, the situation is still the same, 1 definitely sold for sure, 1 still available. Thanks.
  15. "bump" Update: 1 sold, 1 left. Anyone else interested before I put it on ebay?
  16. The title says it all. I got them recently off of ubid.com (along with a third one which I will be keeping). I was planning on using 2 of them as surrounds, but I scored a pair of KLF10's off of ebay for surround duty instead. As the title says, they are in black satin finish, and brand new in factory sealed unopened boxes. I'll let them go for exactly what I have in them, which is $350.00 apiece (per speaker), plus $35.00 for shipping to anywhere in the 48 mainland states. Paypal would be the prefered method of payment, but would accept others as well. If anyone is interested in one, or even both of them, just drop me a line here.

    KLF C7

    Can anyone tell me if this center channel speaker has 2 sets of speaker binding posts so that it can be biamped/biwired? Thanks in advance.
  18. BTW, forgot to mention that the sub (or subs) to go with the KLF30s will probably be SVS. AS I'm sure you all probably already know, the KSPs already have some halfway pretty decent subs built into them. Thanks again.
