Rich_Guy Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 i honestly dont remember what the re-release sold for per pair $1500 a pair I believe, direct from Klipsch only as AFAIK. Yes that is what I remember as well. I bought my original RF-5's new back around 2001, they were selling for $1,500 a pair then if I remember right as well. Excellent speakers, I love their sound, if someone offered me $1,000 for mine I'd turn it down I have no interest in selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The lowest I've seen on Craigslist around here was 300 a pair...not mint, but not bad either. I would have snatched them up if I had a place to use them. If only I had room for wides! [:'(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[:'(]I've seen these and the RF 35's go for 300-500 on quite a few occasions and when you consider that RB 5's and 81's go for that on a regular basis I would say that any nice pair in that range are a great deal.

skonopa Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I have a pair of RF-5s that I bought back when Tweeter were blowing out Klipsch speakers that one year. I paid $900 for a brand-new pair at the time (2002 or '03?). I still have them and use them as side surrounds with my 6.1 RF-7 rig. They are really nice speakers. The problem with the RF-5s was they kinda the bastard child of the early 2000 era Reference line. Most folks went with the RF-3s thinking that the price premium to the extra little bit of performance was not worth it to get the RF-5s, and then if somebody did want to upgrade, they were going to go right for the RF-7s. Still, I would think the $500-$700 range would probably be what a good pair would be worth today. If they are talking the newer, re-released versions, it would probably be $800 to $900 (at least that would be the most I'd pay). As was noted, RF-7s from the same era typically would be around $800 to $900 a pair as well. Now, the RF-7 II are a different story. I would be hard pressed to find a pair for less than $2000 on the second-hand market, if you can even find them. However, the RF-5s are smaller than the RF-7s as well, so they will probably be easier to fit in many rooms: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreene Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Ya, I got my RF-35s for 300 on CL and they were mint. I had a pair of RF-3s, and the RF-3s to me had a little more bass but the RF-35s seemed to have better clarity. Just IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 im lusting for them at this point. I think i would sell my 7's to get them so i could pay around 500-600 for a pair for the non classics and i would pay maybe more for the newer ones.
