JlWinchester100 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Bought these beauties back in 1988 and ended up using them only casually on weekends for a stereo set-up, no home theater use. I doubt these have been fired up even close to 700 hours. They have been standing idle since 2008 in a temperature controlled family room. (work, work, work) So I decided during the 2015 Holidays that they deserve a better home. In researching who would be the best audience for these awesome speakers I found this Klipsch Community to be so passionate and knowledgeable. Cabinets 99% pristine condition. There is only a 1/2 inch scratch at the very bottom of one speaker. When firing them up just recently I found that one speaker works perfectly, the other has some corrosion in the wire from the AC-2 crossover to the tweeter. That has occurred since we moved and disconnected them from the audio system in 2008. From what I have learned from reading the posts here and elsewhere, this is an easy fix, or even an upgrade to the crossover. I have photos of the interiors, horns, crossovers and wiring. It took me all day just to get these 3 up! Should have better luck now. Live in greater Washington, DC area. $2,400 negotiable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JlWinchester100 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks pite, you're right that's too far to ship- for the price I'm looking to sell for & what you want to pay. Appreciate your interest! Buy Local is probably the best way. Thanks! Jl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JlWinchester100 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I have gotten several offers via PM, but all from great distances. And I thank you for your interest. But as you know, shipping these beauties is expensive. Soooo, if any of you locals from the greater Washington DC area are interested in these fine Klipschorn specimens, I'll make it worth your while!!! Thanks, JoAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JlWinchester100 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Sadly, not many of the forum members responded to my offer to sell my Khorns. Apart from a few from afar (thank you guys.) I have now listed them on DC Craigslist. For $1850. I had hoped to find these beauties a home in the bosom of real K-fans, who really appreciate them for their exhilarating sound and not just to FLIP. Next step, if no reasonable offer, is to go the Crites route and keep 'em. Keep 'em close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 You would probably do better if you posted these in the "Garage Sale" section and NOT the 2-Channel home audio section. Your price seems reasonable and people will drive considerable distances - so hang in there and post them in the correct forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steven1963 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Hello and welcome to the Klipsch forums! Very nice set of speakers you have there and if I were within 500 miles I'd drive and pick them up. For the price you are listing them, you shouldn't have them long. Good Luck and don't take a dollar less! EDIT: I just saw another post by EDDIE and he's looking for Khorns around NJ. Someone linked him to this thread so you might just have a buyer by the end of the day. Edited March 3, 2015 by Steven1963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie 500 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 These sure look sweet. What is wrong with the one speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steven1963 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 These sure look sweet. What is wrong with the one speaker? Sounds like a bit of corrosion on the wire. If that's the case, nothing to worry about. Stop asking questions and get them! You will not find a pair of Khorns in this condition any cheaper than that.
