opusk2k9 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Not mine (that's why they are in the alerts section), but maybe they are looking for offers. They may not still be available (from last month), but since they were moving, someone might get a good deal one them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGFAN Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 These may be the ones I called about a few weeks back....the guy was asking $4K for them. At that price, he'll be holding on to them a while. Hogfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhetor Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I wonder what the tops look like . . . The veneer between the bass bin and the tophat does not look like the fronts . . . Looks like walnut between the tophat and bass bin . . . And mahogany on the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like walnut between the tophat and bass bin . . . And mahogany on the front? i think they look just fine and the color matches perfectly. could easily be seen as walnut. i just looked at my k-horns and all the edge banding veneer on them has no grain in it at all. M9 in the serial number from what i remember stands for M=Mahogany 9=dark stain in1974 they came with nailed on pie slice logos which these do not have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly0116 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I live in the town with this seller. I went and looked at these and they are nice, not perfect. There is a few nicks in them and the top of one has a few scratches, they for sure need oil. I offered $2k and he turned it down, I lost interest. He still has them as far as I know. The finish is Mahagony. He said he has until November on his lease so he isnt moving right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 can't blame him, i wouldn't sell them for 2 grand either. Mahogany ( rare ) and no shipping ( no damage ) 2500-3000 wouldn't be out of line. imo http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1981-Klipsch-Klipschorn-Horn-Audiophile-Speakers-Loudspeakers-Monitors-/290949429784?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item43bdeffa18#ht_41946wt_1291 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipschorn-Khorn-speakers-Original-condition-1969-beautiful-carvings-/271268008989?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item3f28d5541d#ht_219wt_1291 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipschorn-Floorstanding-Speakers-/111123029129?hash=item19df72dc89#ht_442wt_1291 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-KLIPSCHORN-SPEAKERS-KLIPSCH-K-HORNES-MINT-/271240724999?hash=item3f27350207#ht_132wt_1291 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly0116 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 My offer was based on seeing them and seeing the imperfections. The front of the one he does not have pictured has an obvious damage spot about 1/2 the size of a dime that goes through the veneer and the top of the same one has scars and scratches. Also, around the bottom of the top hats there is noticeable veneer damage. All the noticeable damage considered I felt $2k was a fair offer. The ebay listings you cited look GREAT! These are not in as good of condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not in as good of condition. Philly, I think you are right on with your offer. You can buy pristine Khorns for 2,500 or so all day long. I've seen a few pair in good condition that sold for under 2,000. Now that doesn't mean that everyone is willing to sell their gear for market prices. Some people refuse to adjust their prices to what the market actually is and will hold out for the possibility of reaching an uninformed buyer. For me, I don't pay above market prices and sometimes will only buy if the price is on the low side of market....it just depends on what it is. If this seller is still holding out for 4,000 on these Khorns, he really does not want to sell them....and probably won't! Hogfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
