It's written right on the tags how to match the s/n's. If Klipsch Inc is following this like Chad said, I wonder how they will react to the numbers not being consecutive? It seems to me that is the way they were intended to be sold, and Aaron paid a premium for those consecutive numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't bother you, that's all that really matters. However, it will have an effect on their value in the eyes of most prospective buyers. It may not bother you today but if it ever does start to bother you, you will not have as much recourse as time goes by. For what these cost, you really should pursue getting this mix up fixed....my opinion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzog Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 They look great!I would also find out about those serial numbers. If they send another, I'd definitely be keeping the ones you have until another arrives. Not to be difficult, but is the logo on the one falling off? I only point this out because you've spent all this money and those speakers should be perfect for you.

rebuy Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If the dealer had 2 pairs--then the error could be there--the dealer might not know how important the numbers are to Klipsch buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Maybe 43 did not look good next to 44 ??? So they put 45 next to 43. Or maybe it just doesn't matter. I would listen to Cat Stevens, Carly Simon , Linda Ronstadt , I bought one of the new pressings of Tea for the Tillerman from ACOUSTIC sounds. It is awesome from those rebuilt presses. If you never seen you tube or read about his project of rebuilding them you should. Then I would move on to EAGLES, SRV , JOHNNY TAYLOR , Congrats on those babies...they look awesome....now you need to come to Hope and see them making them. So glad you finally got them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... for the price you paid for the 70th Anniversary Editions, you DEFINITELY need to follow up with the dealer to find out why you didn't get consecutive S/N. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should only be 2 numbers x 2 Yes, this is what it is. The top's and the bottoms match I just checked. So I guess I have a mismtched pair but it's only by 1 number. It does say on the box the serial number and then to be matched with.. I don't think there is anything I could do about it right now since they seem to be sold out everywhere pretty much.The only place I have found a pair is Audiogon and I already spoke to that guy when i thought one of mine was gone. He said his are definitely matched. Well, Onecall is probably the one that had my matching one and they told me that mine was the last pair they had so someone else has a mismatched pair too. As I said I really don't think it's a big deal but it is unfortunate that such a high ticket item and it would go unnoticed. I think trying to get it straightened out though would be way more trouble than it was worth. Also about the Klipschorn sign, one of them is a little out of place but it is on there tightly. I made sure of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFKlipsch Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Very very impressive....so glad this worked out I also had a question on the badge looking like it was falling off.....and definitely question the consecutive serial numbers on a "Limited Edition"...there are only 140 of these speakers out there...they should be matched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Aaron, does the top box have the same number as the bottom box 0045 on the top and the bottom box ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they did give onecall matching pairs as I have a pair that is pretty close and onecall did have numerous pairs to start with. I think Onecall confused it but perhaps they didn't know how important that was. In that case maybe Klipsch should have expressed the importance of the matching serials. I don't really know who's to blame but it's only one number off I'd rather have this than a pair come damaged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the logo on the grill, but the serial numbers are important for that price as well. That is part of what the higher price was, book matched veneers.

jimjimbo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I think you are letting Onecall off far too easily. I would absolutely demand that you receive consecutive serial number speakers. I would tell them that you want another pair, and that you will allow them to pick up the pair you currently have when the new pair is delivered, and is verified to be in perfect cosmetic and electronic condition. Sure, you may think now that you will keep them for the rest of your life, but then, that's what I thought about my first wife..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The serial number situation may dink the resale value to a collector way on down the road. It's kind of like Smith and Wesson 686 .357 magnums from back in the 80's... typically no collector wants to see a "-1" on the serial number, the price can go way down if so. That's why the pricey ones always are not only in perfect condition, but they say "no dash" in the ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're like socks. They should be matched and if they aren't someone else has a mismatched set as well. I guarantee they'd want theirs matched as much if not more than you. I'll bet out friend @Chad or @Chief bonehead could have someone in shipping and receiving check and see where these (along with the ones on either side) were shipped to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine only OneCall knows this, they probably received multiple pairs then grabbed the wrong two, like if you had serial numbers 1-4, they put them in a pile then grabbed 1 and 3, then 2 and 4. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad said in a previous post that Aaron should check with the dealer regarding the mis-matched s/n's. As much as I'd like to see Klipsch, Inc jump in and fix this, Chad is right. Klipsch Inc's deal was with the dealer, and Aaron's deal is with the dealer, not Klipsch Inc. Aaron and Klipsch inc do not have a direct contractual agreement on the sale. It is up to Aaron to determine for himself if he wants to move forward and hold the dealer to the exact provisions of the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
