According to the ad, they cost as much as $16,000 new. You're not spending $4,000, you're saving $12,000! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 What's in a name? A rosewood by any other name is still beautiful. What's the point of agonizing over the veneer, if they look fantastic? I've yet to see a price premium paid for "rare" veneer, independent of how it looks. These look superb; not $4k superb, IMO, but superb nonetheless. They could sell at that price, but probably not to anyone who haunts these forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 IDK, if I buy another pair, I really like the Brazilian Rosewood. But I would have to sell my WO after I finally finish them. Looks aren't everything but..... Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relatively speaking, my Knorns just went up $4,000 in asking price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I record prices that cross my path, but I don't go searching for them. I almost always use prices from this Klipsch forum and CL listings with links here. No "searched" CL listings, and only occasional Ebay listings. I would not use the $4K price from the CL listing we are discussing because it is not a SOLD price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make a note in the spreadsheet if an item has not been sold. We can often tell a sold item in the Klipsch forum because sellers change their posts to indicate "Sold." I realize there are pre-sale negotiations but I think it's probably close. It's an inexact science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
