philly0116 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) I just got these speakers last week. They sound amazing but they are big. Yes, I knew the dimensions before I bought them but dimensions are hollow until you see these monsters in person!! width and height are no issue but they are deep, and really to much for the room they are in. Anyway, there are a few boo boos comsetically. Fronts are gorgeous. The back of one has a decent, maybe nickel size, nick out of it. A few places on the edges have some finish missing. They are perfect acoustically. I am looking for some RF-5's, a center, 3 channel amp etc. PM me or post what you have if your interested. Im in Central Arkansas. All things considered, cash price $1,000. Thank you! Edited November 19, 2013 by philly0116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Too bad they got that gash in the back. I'd be interested to try these out vs the 63's. I hope you find a good home for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Do you do woodwork? You really should touch up the marks and get some wood chips and fix the corner dings. That will really help your sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the gash is unfortunate. It can be repaired but I never see it because there is a wall behind them so it doesn't bother me enough to mess with it. If they don't go anywhere there's worse speakers to be stuck with than RF-83's with a chip in the back and some scuffs on the corners!

Scrappydue Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Use em for bathroom speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly0116 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) I might. I might just keep them where they are and be glad I can still appreciate a great speaker even if, on the outside, in the back, facing a wall it doesnt shine like the hope diamond. Id hate to lose that about things. Imagine the bruised bananas that are perfect on the inside I would miss out on.

Scrappydue Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Lol we get it. Scratched on the back only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philly0116 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 No, more than a scratch. As in the original post, "it is a decent, maybe nickel sized, nick". Im sure however, they sound waaaaaay different than a speaker without a nickel sized nick or gouge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAmmer32261 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 That adds character to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I know it does not bother you, but it will bother a buyer. Fix it and these are worth top dollar. I like the comment about using them for bathroom speakers. I am picturing the thrown and two huge speakers 4" away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAmmer32261 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Just get a black marker and color it in to match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 This does look fixable. Just get a sliver of wood and tediously sand it to the right thichness (off of the speaker) and cut to size with a razor or exacto knife. If you have a Dremel tool you can really sculpt it to shape. A spot of elmer's wood glue and a sharpie and you are good to go. Or get fancy and have a small sample size of paint mixed in the exact color.

derrickdj1 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 They look like a relatively easy fix as others have said. They are a Klipsch Classic since they had a short production run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
