looks like he will ship to us. seems like a low enough price for a rare sub you are seeking. not sure what shipping would cost from there to the us though.

There was one in Texas going for $150 shipped back in August. I was going to get it for my dorm before my plans changed. It wasn't advertised as the XW-500D, just as a "Klipsch Sub". They're out there...count on it.

Groomlakearea51 had one of the baby brother XW-300d accompanying a pair of Khorns, pair of pro HII's, and a center Belle in his "Wall of Voodoo" and it was amazing what that little 8" sub could do.  I am sure the XW-500d sounds even better.

 

Good luck with your search,

 

Bill

Yeah - I saw that one in France too!  I never realized how extremely rare a find this speaker is until I wanted another one. For good reason too! This speaker comes in a tiny package and rivals my Velodyne DD-15 in a 25x32 ft room! I feel fortunate to have found the one I have on craigslist 4 years ago for merely  $225!

This is similar to how I found one advertised 4 years ago, the guy really didn't know what he had and he told me his wife wanted him to sell it because it was "too loud" , LOL!

Yes, the 500d is amazing. The apparent replacement is the sw-311 in terms of size/specs/sealed sound but its much more expensive and in comparison seems to have a lot of extra unnecessary hardware ( two additional passive woofers - and with no protective covers!)

Hi Guys,

 

Thanks for all the feedback. Through an extremely fortuitous local craigslist ad, which I acted on immediately,  I ended up scoring two of the similarly RARE little brother xw-300d subs for only $250 today! One is Mint condition and the other only has a slight ding in the Vinyl in back corner. I'm a very happy customer!!!

That is great.  Those little boogers sound really good.
