THE L1ZARD KING Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hello, I recently purchased a pair of Klipsch model R-5502-W II in-wall speakers. I am not entirely certain that they are genuine, but unfortunately I am having difficulty finding much if any information on how to spot Klipsch fakes aside from their headphones. Does anyone have any litmus tests to check the validity, or possibly close up pictures of the back of their own 5502's? The only picture I can find online is the stock one from Klipsch's website, which is missing serial number stickers etc. so not a great representation of what or what not to look for. I also attempted to locate some unboxing video but no dice there either. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide. Cheers! -LzK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Here are some boxed and unboxed photos, but I can't vouch for authenticity. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It would be worth a call to Klipsch to find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Where did you get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE L1ZARD KING Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I got them through a seller on newegg, originally I had though they were coming from newegg directly but that was a different model I was looking at. I will give Klipsch a call tomorrow, it appears they are already closed for the day as their call center is in the eastern timezone and I am in pacific.

THE L1ZARD KING Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Good news, I spoke with Klipsch this morning and everything checks out. They validated the serial numbers and things looks good. They were a little taken back that the dealer was selling through newegg however, I guess that is a no-no. Thanks again for everyones comments on this one.

mustang guy Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 That's good to hear. I wonder if they are an authorized re-seller. If not, they will not be covered by warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE L1ZARD KING Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 He did mention that they are still covered under warranty so they must be authorized, not sure where that authorization lets you sell said product though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
