moray james Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 that would be a good price for the woofers alone in excellent condition. Go look and listen. University have two superb horn designs for this very woofer which I have been told out woof a Khorn in the bottom end. Best regards Moray James.

dp1954 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 my old roommate from college had a pair of these. These are nice speakers and the price is excellent. They sound very similar, at least to me like altecs. go get um.. for that price you could sell the pieces and still come out ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattil24 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hi Community! My dad loved speakers and when he passed, he left a pair of University Acoustic Baton speakers. After spending too much time trying to figure out what they might be worth online, I thought I'd turn to the experts for some advise. They work and sound great, the sub woofers were refurbished. Any suggestions would be really appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triceratops Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Welcome to the Klipsch Forum, Pattil24! I'm not an expert when it comes to University Sound speakers, but I'd like to clarify some misconceptions, then hopefully address your questions. 1. University Sound speakers often don't have a model name displayed, especially if the cabinets are homebuilt to University Sound plans. So it stands to reason when someone sees a big polished plate holding two L-pad controls and silkscreened with "Acoustic Baton" that they might assume this is the model name of the speaker. Instead, it is the name University Sound gave to the controls themselves: you use the "Acoustic Baton" controls to adjust the sound of the speaker like a conductor uses a baton to control and adjust the sound of an orchestra. So Acoustic Baton is NOT a model of University Sound speaker, and this crossover control section can be mounted in the cabinets of MANY different models of University Sound speakers. 2. I suspect the speakers cited in the original post were University Classics based on the comments made, but I am just guessing since the link no longer works. The University Classic was a three-way speaker with metal horns for tweeters and squawkers and a folded wooden horn for the woofer. It was clearly intended to compete with the Klipschorn. 3. Pattil24, to determine what model of University speakers you have, please take photos of the cabinets and measure the external cabinet dimensions. Then post them on this thread, and forum members will reply. Best in horns, triceratops @Pattil24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
