Fleawatt Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) SOLD. SOLD. I bought these from fellow forum member. They have 5" ports. The consecutive serial numbers reflect a 1994 build date. I probably wouldn't recommend these if you are looking for something pristine or with few flaws. If you care greatly about cosmetics, these are not for you. They do have cosmetic issues all over. The worst veneer flaws being the stains on the top of one speaker. Spikes are not included. I had intended to order some from Klipsch, but will let the next owner take care of that. The grill screens are decent. A few snags here and there, but not horrible. With all that said, they function perfectly and have no operational issues. The cherry veneer is striking and the cabinets are solid. They sound as they should. I would prefer pick-up so you can inspect them and listen to them prior to purchase. I'm near Toledo, Ohio. Asking SOLD *** I edited this post. The ports are 5". I must have misunderstood the person I bought them from as he claims he never told me he bought them from the original owner. I edited that part of the post. Therefore I'm unsure how many previous owners these have had. I have not done a thing to the speakers, other than use some Howard's on them since receiving them from the previous owner.

The History Kid Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Haha...I'd probably be interested in all of them. Alas, I have no room for any more things, nor do I have the scrap for something with these pricetags. Still, those are pretty darn gorgeous. Someone's gonna be pretty damn lucky!

RockOn4Klipsch Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I can echo what Jim said, I drove 14 hour round trip to pick up a set of Khorns, from Fleawatt. Very good to deal and a knowledgeable diy'er. GLWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzydog Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Beautiful speakers, but no CF-4 ad is complete without a reference to how much these beauty's weigh. GLWS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Beautiful speakers, but no CF-4 ad is complete without a reference to how much these beauty's weigh. LOL! +++ That stain is not as bad as the ones I had on my CF-4's and they should clean up to perfection. It will take some time hand sanding, but well worth it. To whoever buys these, if you really want to improve the sound for a very little amount of money, let me know and I'll give you the secret to your best bang for the upgraded buck.

Fleawatt Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Original Post has been edited after I was made aware of some goofs: 1. These are 5" ports. I took one out and measured it. 2. The person I got them from tells me the horns he sold me were gray. I guess the lighting could effect one's interpretation of that as the light strikes the speaker on the right, in the photo, it looks more gray than the left. They are the same when the light hits them equally. I can an assure everyone, the speakers have not been changed since I purchased them. I have a photo from the person I bought them from and they appear the same color to me as they do now. I might be mistaken in calling them black in my original post. 3. I misunderstood the person I purchased them from, the person he bought them from was not the original owner. There was no intent to misrepresent, just errors on my part.

whell Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yup, looks like a 1994 build, which was the first year for the CF-4's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 These speakers are great. Fleawatt, your pictures show how beautiful the Cherry is. When I bought them, I asked the seller about the spikes and there was one badge was missing. She never found the spikes, but found and mailed me the missing badge. Glad to see it you put is back on the grill. The date, color of the horn and port length are what one uses to differentiate the V1 from the latter two. A picture taken by a phone and in florescent light isn’t as clear as the OP’s, but it shows the difference in the color of the different versions of horns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Beautiful speakers, but no CF-4 ad is complete without a reference to how much these beauty's weigh. GLWS. 108lb. I like that they dig down to 34hz and can handle 300 watts continuous and 1200 peak. I never had an amp or a need to push them to that level. The horn is large and lets the mids sing naturally.

Shiva Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 While the frequency of the low end might state 34z, they go much lower. When I have played bass test CD's in the past, my CF3's start shaking the room when the test disc starts hitting the 25hz tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I wish I had the cash for these. Toledo is only an hour or so away and they tempt me more each time I check into this thread. If I had not just purchased a pair of Emotiva XPA-1 mono blocks I would have been scooping these beauties up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleawatt Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Sold to absolve2525, a fellow forum member. We met halfway and did a partial trade that left us both happy campers. Glad they stayed in the Klipsch forum family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
