CECAA850 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have never seen klipsch stickers like this before that's all I am on hold as I type I see what you're talking about now. Maybe they were grey market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan122345 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Okay so just got off the phone with klipsch and they said they couldn't find anything g on them with the age. But the guy I talked to said he thought grey market also which only affects the warranty for the original purchaser so should be good to go I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Those stickers are on a lot of products coming out of that state. You may get lucky, Klipsch sometimes put extra stickers "floating" on the inside of the cabinets. I found out about this when removing the speakers out of an RC-7. I then found the same on an RSW-15. Otherwise, those stickers were put on by an unauthorized reseller. They are likely good Klipsch speakers, but never had a Klipsch warranty on them.

jordan122345 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I looked inside and didn't see any extra stickers. So yeah I think they were grey market so yeah definitely real klipsch speakers just never had a warranty like gorm said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the rs7's and the rc7 with the same stickers but other than that I have never seen them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted February 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have seen others post with same type stickers. Same value as ones with original stickers since warranty doesn't transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Being that the RB75 was discontinued almost 10 years ago, warranty will only apply to a very small percentage anyways. GLWS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Anyone "thinking" about getting a pair of RB-75's, don't just think about it, get them. I can't say enough great things about these hefty bookshelf "beasts". IMO, they are about the closest you can get to a tower speaker in a bookshelf cabinet. If for some reason I had to part with my RF-63's in my HT rig, I would not hesitate to slide my RB-75's right in there as my mains.

Moderators Youthman Posted February 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2015 Being that the RB75 was discontinued almost 10 years ago, warranty will only apply to a very small percentage anyways. Yeah...like Zero. Anyone "thinking" about getting a pair of RB-75's, don't just think about it, get them. I can't say enough great things about these hefty bookshelf "beasts". IMO, they are about the closest you can get to a tower speaker in a bookshelf cabinet. I agree wholeheartedly. I helped a friend purchase a pair of RB-75's for his setup and got to demo them in my HT. I couldn't believe how Big they sounded. Definitely live up to being called a mini-tower. I have not heard the RB-81II's but have heard the RB-81's and RB-35's. While they are great bookshelf speakers, I think the RB-75's are in a class of their own. I've owned RB-35, RB-61 as well as RB-81ii and to my ears, none of them sound near as good as the RB-75's. YMMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah...like Zero. But if an authorized dealer still had inventory and sold them within the last five years, they should still have the 5 year warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Review the bookshelves specs sometimes when I see some for sale. Haved looked at these before, most recently when Willand/others have spoken of them in a good way: http://www.klipsch.com/rb-75-bookshelf-speaker/details 32 lbs. seems pretty solid to me, and 20 inches tall...

jordan122345 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 They are hefty buggers for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I had heard good things about the 75's and when looking for stand mounts found and bought a pair. Box arrives reasonably well contained and I hear some "clunking" in the package when moved, not good. The driver for one of the horns had completely broken off of the plastic horn. Yeah I was hearing some clunking alright, a driver smashing around inside the cabinet. I was refunded but never got to use/hear the RB's. Them's some big *** stand mounts for sure!
