JohnA Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 That looks like just what YOU need! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted March 14, 2001 Author Share Posted March 14, 2001 John, Good grief! What I need is a single Hresy to replace my Cornwall. Now that I have the LF-10 sub I don't need the extended bass of the Cornwall! I know.. Replace the flank Bells with Khorns! AL K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted March 15, 2001 Author Share Posted March 15, 2001 mdeneen, Thanks for the note but I am just thinking ahead. I will do that the day I get into home theater myself. It's a long term plan. I am not anywhere close to doing it yet! Thanks anyhow, Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Warren Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 i'd figure the least thing they could do is take all the crap of the freakin thing before taking the pic. soem sellers are beyond stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted March 15, 2001 Author Share Posted March 15, 2001 John, You got that right! You don't suppose that was to hide a huge dent in the top do you? Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Warren Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 its "beyond stupid". Ebay is great for laughs. $325 was paid for the "highly sought after and hard to find" 1962 2cd Ed. of A. Cohen's "HiFi and Loudspeaker Enclosures (1st came out in 1958). This edition is easy to find IF you know where to look. Klipschorn "Plans" (copies) are sold for $50-$75. They're the Speakerlab-K plans sold for $25 by Speakerlab. "...guaranteed not a DOA but due to it's age, it's sold AS IS.." What the hell does this mean? Got a nice Bozak Urban or Wharfedale 90W Achromatic loudspeaker? Just tear it down and part it out, sell each piece as a seperate to make an extra $10, throw the cabinet away. Here's a nice Altec 15" woofer, I want top dollar for it. Here's a picture of it sitting in the snow on my back porch. Let's start the bidding at $400 (reserve not yet met) Please don't ask me what the reserve is (because it's 2X what this piece of crap is really worth) Please don't ask me to end the auction early (even though you are willing to pay $250 over my reserve). Schematics and plans..sure all this stuff is "Copyright Protected" but that doesn't seem to stop some sellers from running it thru the copier ten or twenty times to make a quick buck (Ebay turns blind eye to this practice, claim ignorance). And then there's the emotional buyers that have more money then common sense... $2800 for a Jensen G610 Triaxial...hold on folks, have you heard this driver, it sounds nice but is waaaaaay overated. $4500 for an EV 30" woofer with a cracked frame (but it was expertly repaired).

Al Klappenberger Posted March 17, 2001 Author Share Posted March 17, 2001 John, You'r looking at eBay from the wrong point of view. What makes it great is all the stupid people who aren't as smart as you that you can take advantage of. Just be sure you are the smarter one! That's what horse-trading has been about since the dawn of humanity! Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowooo Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 Come on.....let's stick with tradition here. The artists should continue to get ripped off by the recording companies not all those "innocent music lovers." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Blorry Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hey Al. The owner of this Belle is in my town. The bids didn't reach the reserve, so it may still be at his house. Should I go over there and rough him up a little--find out what's under that towel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted March 20, 2001 Author Share Posted March 20, 2001 Blorry, Yeah! Give him a piece of you mind, the old one-two and then read him the riot act! . Seriously, he didn't sell it becasue his reserve was too high. The final bid he got was pretty-much the right price. That is, assuming the top didn't have the big dent! Maybe he has learned something on the first attempt. You might be seeing the listing again before too long. Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
