HornEd Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Thanks, Chickey!!! I could not stand the suspense and wanted to hear what one of these would sound like as a rear channel in the music room. So I popped for the Buy Now deal... at the rate they have been going and the fact that my Heritages are all walnut seemed to call for immediate action. You can bet I will let you know if I find one in black. Thanks again... HornEd PS: Yesterday my motorhome stopped in the middle of an intersection a mile and a half from the place I was bringing in for a tune-up. Today I learned that I can get my pair of K-horns and a lone Belle shipped from Atlanta to San Francisco in three days for a total of $250... and now a Walnut Academy for $400. Some days are definitely better than others. Thanks for making mine today! HORNED'S EIGHT THEATRICAL LEGENDS, FIVE MUSICAL HERITAGES & A ROADIE...

dsommerl Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Hey HE ! Didn't give the rest of us a chance---darn, just when I decided to take a rest from the PC----another one comes and goes---and it appeared to be pristine! HE---thought you knew I was out to corner the Free World's supply of Academies !! Actually--am out for one more Acad to complete my set up--so, if you decide against keeping this one---I'm a buyer.---Keep me in mind Tks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Well folks, you wanted a chance so here it is. The fellow I bought the walnut oil Academy from will be joining the Klipsch Forum and posting a mint pair of Chorus II's... BEFORE putting them on eBay. And he lives in Houston (TX) which ought to make it less than half-a-country shipping charges for most folks. Go get 'em! HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I have an additional Academy, mint conditon in Black, it's not for sale. But I would consider trading it for a Walnut one in equal condition. So if someone has a Walnut Oil but desired a Black, shoot me an email. Not selling because it will be used for future duty as rear center when I upgrade. Just hate to strip and refinish in Walnut. ------------------ "KLIPSCH IS MUSIC"f> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickey Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 Shape, I'll keep an eye open for a Walnut one for you, 'cause I'm really looking for one in mint condition in black. This reminds me of an old MASH episode where Hawkeye has to trade with about half a dozen people to get a new pair of boots...

Audible Nectar Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I've got a black Academy (perfect condition) as well. I would consider trading or selling it if I could find one of the following, to match my oak Cornwalls: 1. An oak Belle to use as a center. I'm thinking of doing what MacKlipsch did in this pic: link I've got oak Cornwall II's as mains, and the setup in the above pic would work for me. Is this OK as a timbre match with my Cornwall II's? They are both heritage, it should be close. Any comments from the Klipschers??? 2. An oak Academy, to match my Cornwall II's. Would trade strictly for cosmetic reasons only (color).

chickey Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 Gents, So mint condition walnut or oak might put me on the path to black? I'll keep my eyes open for any/all of the above. If you see a black Academy in similar mint condition, please give me a heads-up. Thanks again, Colin ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hey Guys, Bartering and trading for goods and services, an ancient tradition. Maybe something will work out for each of us.

HornEd Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hmmm, I wonder how many chickens a matched pair of monoblocks for my Khorns would be??? HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 I too am looking for a Black Academy (at a reasonable price). Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Since we are all looking for Academy's, I'll throw another black Academy on the request pile...not for me, but for my dad, who has a KV-3 as his center flanked by Forte's. Not a huge rush for this once, especially since Colin and Mike want a black one too. But something to think about.

ShapeShifter Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 HornEd, After reading your post, I cackled and crowed so hard, all my hens came home to roost. I really got a lot of pleasure from reading that. Good one! Wes ------------------ "KLIPSCH IS MUSIC"f> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
