Pair of RF3II for $300 a good deal?

[Gatorbait2009]

Saw online a pair of RF3IIs for $300. Seller says one cone has a wrinkle but doesn't affect the sound. From the picture they look like they are in really good condition. What do you think about the deal. I see they are 10 years old but that may just mean they are really well broken in right? Any thoughts on I am trying to piece together a HT. Currently have RF52II and RC42II. Surrounds are left overs from my Quintets. If i went for these and made them my fronts and moved the 52ii to a side channel would that be a good upgrade?

Any feedback is helpful!! Thanks!

they are worth between $200-$250 in great condition with no damaged drivers and they are great speakers. You could easily talk them down a bit since the cone is damaged and should/should be replaced and those drivers are like $63 i think (trying to remember when i last called klipsch). As far as piecing together the system, they should sound OK. By this i mean it will work but the speakers wont timbre match each other perfectly. The RF-3 II will not match your center at all but will still work. I am running an sc-1 center with my RF-5's and i know they aren't perfect because i prefer the sound of my rc-7 or the rc-3. BUT, i will say that if i wasn't a perfectionist knowing what i am looking for, i most likely wouldnt balk at it because it still sounds good. You can always buy the rf-3 II's, test them out and if you like them keep them. If you do't like them, sell them what you bought them for, its an easy flip.

I got my RF3ii's and RC3 for <$400 over six years ago.
No blemishes other than a couple grill pegs missing.
Can't speak to sound matching. I added RC-35s for sides that match nicely.

I have a large theater and they fill it with sound nicley. Very nice speakers.
Not an impressive low end, but in your HT you have a sub for that.
I got to do a side by side with Youthman's RF83's and it was hard to distiguish one from the other until you turned off the sub.
I agree with SuBXeRo. Talk them down around $250 and enjoy some great sound.

Think you mean RS-35 []

Definitely rocked out your HT when demoing "The Art of Flight". Paired with a quality sub, they sound very nice indeed.

You forgot to mention you are tone deaf too. [] I don't have an audiophile ear so I can't speak of how they compare in the midrange, dynamics, soundstage etc. I just know to me, the RF-83's have a BIGGER sound and lots more bottom end.

I was extremely surprised at how good the RF-3's sounded when I demoed them at Wake's house last month.

Three hundred in great shape would be fine, with that damage 200.

I think value really depends on where you are. Around here, those wouldn't last two seconds at that price.

I just scored a mint pair off of CL for $240. Around Central Florida they seem to be in the $300-$350 range so I snapped these up. Even in their temp home with no acoustic treatments they are very impressive. BTW, did you get the pair?
