"audio store owner in Gainesville (Sound Ideas Stereo) can do
consignment, buy outright, or trade/swap. He is a straight shooter,
fair, and will get the best dollar for you. They own big delivery
trucks and could pick up & properly display them in his 14,000 ft.
store on proper amps etc.

He
loves the K-horns (drove his personal home pair with low watt Quad II
mono amps, super), and has decades of clientele in Florida who could buy
them. He's an authorized Klipsch dealer
for c. 30 years, selling many other good brands for as long, like
Threshold, then Pass, Genesis, Cary, Paradigm, McIntosh, Music
Fidelity, Luxman, Kef, etc."

The Suncoast Audiophile Society
(formerly known as the Tampa Bay Listening Society) is a group of
high-end audio enthusiasts, both young and old, with an eclectic mix of
interests. We hold meetings at least once a month (some weeknights,
others weekends) for listening sessions, gear demo's, audio chat, and/or
live music. Our goal is to foster comraderie, promote education, and
otherwise support local audiophiles, whether their interests be analog,
digital, solid state, tubes, or DIY (HT/surround sound too). We welcome
prospective members from the entire Florida Suncoast region.

Please note that our meetup group is
PRIVATE, so we require all prospective members to register with their
real name. One of our Co-Organizers will follow up with you before
membership is approved. SAS members may later use a nickname, if
desired, once their identity has been confirmed. If
you have not received a follow-up email after requesting to join the
group, please double-check your email folder, as it may have
been inadvertently marked as spam.

Here are some teaster pics from prior meetings. Group Members have
full online access for meeting details, discussion forum, and all
photos.

Have you done a side by side between Klipschorns and the Palladium line? If so what are your impressions?

[Colin]

No, I have not

I think they corrected my of the flaws of Khorns, for a price:

"

By adding a modern transmission line of three woofers,
the Palladiums are rightful heirs to the Klipsch crown. They retain
Klipsch's renown ultra high sensitivity and extra low distortion. The
Palladiums eliminate the narrow dispersion that so often plagues big ole
horns with a wide and square Tractrix eye and mouth. I
am impressed with Klipsch, their P-39F and A Sound Decision. If you
already have your sports car, if your new home has a room set aside for
HT, if this is the league you shop in; seriously consider a Palladium
system configuration like this one. It enjoys the music."
