KeepItKlipsch Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) I have my eye on some new home theater front speakers and found a deal on these Klipsch's, which I am not particularly familiar with. The seller is advertising these as 2014 RF-82 II speakers (with remaining warranty), but from what I see online, these look like 2010 or older RF-82 speakers. In particular, the bottom-front of the speakers have the older, round "Klipsch" logo, instead of the thin, long "REFERENCE" demarcation and they lack the "Klipsch" logo directly under the lower woofer, and the feet seem to be the older rubber wing feet instead of the newer round feet: Also, on the back, the speaker connections are clear plastic instead of the RF-82 II's colored connectors: Tag, FWIW: Could someone familiar with this product line please verify if these are indeed recent mfr. RF-82 II's, or the older pre-2011 RF-82's? If these, indeed, are the older RF-82's, could someone comment on how much they'd be worth in decent well-used condition? I'm not finding anything to source a used price online. Thanks very much Edited October 30, 2016 by KeepItKlipsch forgot the feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 $500 or so i would say if they are the older RF82ll versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So these must be at least 6 years old, because the RF-82's were produced from '06 to '10.... does that sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 From the numbers on the lable, I think they were made on 07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepItKlipsch Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Anyone have a ballpark of what well-used 2007 RF-82's might be worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted October 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 30, 2016 $400-$500 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepItKlipsch Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) 20 minutes ago, willland said: Yep. Bill Ok. Thanks. I don't mean to be pedantic, but that is the value for 4 speakers, not per speaker, correct? Because the 2016 RF-82 II's can be had right now on crutchfield.com for $400/unit, shipped, so it seems that these old speakers certainly mustn't be worth the same amount money. I am seeing much newer (but used) RF-82 II's on ebay regularly for $250 to $300 per unit.
