  1. I accidentally posted this in the Alerts section instead of the regular garage sale, so I've now moved it. I don't know whether this is kosher since they are not technically Klipsch products, but my wife and I are downsizing and there is no room in the new house for my Speakerlab K's. For those of you who don't know, Speakerlab used to sell a copy of the Klipsch horns. You could buy a fully assembled speaker, a kit, or just the speakers, electronics and a cutting plan. Around 1980 I bought and assembled the kit. A few years later, when I set up my first home theater system, I custom built a center channel with matching walnut, and the same mid-range and tweeter used by the K's. Gil McDermott who has been a member of this forum for years, and who is also my brother-in-law, built a custom crossover for it. They are in great shape and sound great. I love them and am sorry to see them go. At least I am getting Klipsch home theater speakers for the ceiling in the new house. For $500 plus shipping, someone can have all three. I also have an extra pair of the 15" woofers used in the K's that I will throw in. I had thoughts of building my own subwoofers for a 7.2 system, but didn't have enough time an opted to buy subwoofer instead. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area so anyone nearby would be welcome to pick them up and save the shipping.
  2. Gil is doing much better. He still has problems with his left arm but he can walk and they are evaluating him to see if he could transfer to an assisted living facility from the nursing home. He desperately wants to get out of there. His intellect seems to be pretty intact and he is currently taking an online course from MIT. He emails regularly and has a cell phone. If you want to contact him directly his cell is 773-274-7705 and his email is w.f.mcdermott@gmail.com.
  3. Found the other post. I'll get some pictures of the back tomorrow.

  5. My brother-in-law, Gil McDermott, was a frequent participant in this forum. Gil had a stroke and will likely be in a nursing home when he gets out of the hospital. He has a number of speakers and speaker components in his condo, which will have to be disposed of. He built custom Klipsch design speakers as a hobby. I don't have an exact count but there were about half a dozen 15" speakers, still in their boxes, 2 complete custom built "K" speakers, and other gear. I don't have an exact list right now. I will be headed back to Chicago and to inventory his belongings for the probate court, if anyone is interested I will post more info when I have it. [Moderator Edit: Moved this from Alerts to Lounge so more people will see it as Gil has been a mainstay on this Forum for 20 years or so. I thought people would want to know and maybe we can get some updates on his condition. When his brother-in-law has the list we will help them get that set up in Garage Sale section]
