bthom70 Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 1) Academy center 2) KG 1.2 2) KG 2.2 1) KG SW All black finish Circa 1992/1993, minor finish damage. I bought these in my early Navy career while stationed in Hawaii (young,dumb and money to burn). My new home has small rooms and the speakers don't fit my entertainment criteria any longer. This speakers are great, I just dont use them. The Academy is the only 1 I use. I'm looking to downsize The Klipsch Quintet system and The new Tivoli system have caught my eye. I want to put the speakers up on the walls out of the way. I will prob sell the Klipsch as a set on Ebay or in the New England Bargin News.

chickey Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 You can sell 'em right here! That black Academy will have many interested bidders, myself included. Any digital photos? Colin ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickey Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 I just noticed your signature. One of our regulars, JHawk92, lives up in your neck of the woods and has been prowling for an Academy as well. Give us Klipschers first shot...The New England Bargain News wouldn't know Klipsch from Cornflakes. C ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Sell 'em here!! Lots of hungry Klipschers here that will make offers, especially on the Academy. Thanks for letting the board know!! ------------------ First we Rock, then we Roll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthom70 Posted February 17, 2002 Author Share Posted February 17, 2002 It'll be sold as a set. I dont have the time to sell individually. I'll post pics later today. I'll try to give close ups of the blemishes bthom70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Do everybody a favor (including yourself) and don't sell it as a set. The Academy is not the correct center for the KG series speakers. You should sell the KG speakers as a package and the Academy separate from the others. You can eaisly sell the Academy here and the KG package on eBay. Of course, this is just my opinion. Take it for what it is...

bthom70 Posted February 19, 2002 Author Share Posted February 19, 2002 <<$65.65 + shipping >> Care to put atleast another 0 on the end of that?>?? atleast for the 1.2 and 2.2 and maybe the sw is 700+ shipping too much to ask for all 3 for $1150 retail???>? These guys are hardly broken in. So it looks like you guys are biting at the bit to get the academy separately. is 300 + shipping too much to ask?? I hope to get the pics posted soon, I've been soo busy.

T2K Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 bthom, the Academy's have sold recently for around $600.They are highly sought after.I don't know why.You might check E-Bay closed auctions for info.I personally like to sell my speakers for much less than I paid for them. I'll trade you a new-in-box Pioneer center speaker and $3 boot for the Academy.The Academy must be perfect and have original box,packing,and manual.BTW,I paid $31 for the Pioneer speaker.I'll pay shipping both ways.Deal? Let me know quickly. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Keith-The sacrifices you're willing to make to help a fellow board member...kinda brings a tear to ol' fini's eye. fini edit: Could you post pictures of that $3 boot? What size is it? Is it available separately if your other deal falls apart?

bthom70 Posted February 20, 2002 Author Share Posted February 20, 2002 $600 for an academy? WOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickey Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Wasn't that $600 figure during the dotcom era of the Academy?? We all know what's happened to valuations since the bubble burst.... C ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 fini, the $3 boot goes with the Pioneer speaker.Whoever buys the Pioneer speaker will then have a boot they can put on and kick their own a$$ for buying the Pioneer speaker. Sorry. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Just to throw in my two cents ... I owned a KT-LCR and it was the balls. VERY similar to the academy except it was THX-rated ... if you see one up for sale, buy it. You won't regret it. Funny thing about all this ... you can find single Belles for about $600, and they make one HELLUVA center channel. Just need a little extra room and $7 for some rejuvination (Scotch is extra). ------------------ If you don't like what is coming out, you wouldn't like what is going in." -PWK- --------------------- TWO-CHANNEL SYSTEM AES AE-25 "Superamp" AES AE-3 Pre-amp New Tube 4000 CD Player 1976 Klipschorns (ALK'ed) HOME THEATER Klipsch 1968 ALK Cornwall "II"s (LF/RF) ALK Belle Klipsch (Center) Klipsch Heresy (RR/LR) Klipsch KSW-12 sub Sonic Frontiers Anthem AMP1 (driving Cornwalls) Sonic Frontiers Anthem AMP1 (driving Heresy's) Denon AVR-4800 Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhawk92 Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Brian- Wanted to let you know, I hooked up the Academy and it sounds great. Thanks for all the patience on the deal. The speaker has found a good home! Rob Yahoo...post #300!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthom70 Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 No Prob Rob, Nice doing business with you. I am still recovering from seperation anxiety, but I'll have to tough it out. My downsizing will be difficult to swallow but its necessary. Anyone else out there seen/heard of Tivoli Design Model TDHT1? I bought the new Home theater set last weekend. Kinda on the small side and the sub isnt that bad either. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
