Loudly Does It Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 No they are in Miami. It would have been perfect because they were 20 minutes. I would have saved the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudly Does It Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 So I'll take that as a no? Perhaps it's too much work for something that isn't really that old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Not sure if it would be worth fixing them or not. For a few hundred more i would try and get a working pair. But thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one condition from the wife. Unfortunately I think I might have to hold off. I am running some numbers and this real estate deal I am closing on this week didn't produce what I thought it would. I have to put 200 linear feet of fence on my property before I can get my speakers. I appreciate all the help guys. In the mean time I will just keep learning from you guys.

SuBXeRo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 rf-5's are the best most versatile klipsch speaker i have heard and are equally excellent for home theater as they are for music. I kicked myself in the *** when i sold my first pair and went over 2 years without them and scooped up a pair about a month ago. Well worth it. I dont doubt the rf-82 II's ability and i bet you it sounds fantastic but id put my money on the rf-5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudly Does It Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 UPDATE. After some more research, I went ahead and did what one of our forum members suggested and I offered the guy $200 for them after about two weeks of going back and forth in my mind. The seller said yes, because he didn't want to lug them across country. Well I get home and checking all the connections first before I try to figure out if it's the tweeter or crossover and it turns out it was nothing more than a loose wire to the tweeter. I plugged it in and used a pair of pliars to tighten and they are going strong. I had them on for almost two hours and they were playing as if nothing was ever wrong. I can't believe I was so lucky.

Loudly Does It Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 congrats!! how are you liking them so far? Love them. I was playing music for like two hours the other night. Just listening to some of my favorites. I just sat there enjoying the music from my new(to me) speakers while having a scotch. It was the perfect Friday night.
