I first went down the Klipsch rabbit hole when I bought a pair of La Scala Industrial in an auction without any idea of what they were. I liked them besides the bright tweeters and bass extension (and I was interested in doing some of the mods) but they were too wide and too ugly for my room so I put them up for sale (still available if anyone is interested). I didn't know if would end up with another pair but a couple of months ago, I picked up a pair of Forte in walnut. They looked and sounded wonderful. I preferred the sound to the La Scala but I had to put them up as I got them for my dad and plan to surprise him with them on Father's Day along with a restored HK 430 Twin Powered. I then put my Monitor Audio Studio 6 in my system, which are great speakers for near or semi-near field listening but aren't meant to fill a large room. I was planning on buying something Martin Logan for my front channels (and may still at some point as I have a center channel and subs from them) but last night I was waiting for a friend to come pick up his phone that he left and decided to check Craigslist and saw a pair of Klipsch KSP-400 for $250. It had been up for an hour so I was sure they were already claimed but I texted the number anyway asking if the price was correct. He said I was the first to contact him and yes, the price was correct. He was renovating his house and the wife wanted them gone, plus they had seen a little water damage from a pipe that burst. He also said he had the matching C6 center and a pair of Mirage KRx Ones with speaker stands and would do $425 for the lot. I went and auditioned them this morning and drove home with them. The water damage was minimal, veneer had separated but wasn't warped or anything, should glue right back down. Otherwise, the grills were missing for the towers but that isn't any concern for me. My two smaller subs are Martin Logan Abyss and go lower than the KSP-400 so I am currently running a 2.4 setup (center channel isn't connected). No hum from the woofers so the amp cards seem to be fine for now. I think these may be my favorite Klipsch yet, they look beautiful in mahogany and aren't as bright as the other models I'm used to.
