hihat123 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I recently had to put my old friend to sleep. one of the woofers blew, and I found out Klipsch doesn't provide OEM replacement parts for this line nor could they recommend me to a Klipsch approved 3rd party OEM source. I tried using a generic speaker that would fit in there, but that was an expected waste of time. and then unfortunately the whole unit got fried from water damage from a roof leak in my garage. during the years I owned it I was always amazed how much better it sounded than any other like i'd come across, especially ones that were supposed to be the "badass" high end units like from BOSE of JBL costing double, triple, or four times as much as my little $120 "magic on-the-go studio reference monitoring device" that I bought on an impulse buy at Costco many years ago. and now that I'm being forced to "upgrade" to whatever is out there now, i'm learning and really seeing how awesome that old Klipsch old unit was. the worst part is Klipsch's isn't even making a product today, IMO, that comes close to that unit especially at that price level. their superseding products since then have been disappointing, reminds me of the fall of Mackie once they were bought out, among countless other "for a long time they were the best in the business" companies. I ended up buying a "GROOVE" unit. its a stout little bugger, its sounds decent for its size, but that "Klipsch" sound just isn't there. it should be priced at $50-$80 not $140. my $50 Logitech PC speakers would still sound better Edited March 2, 2017 by hihat123 im an idiot who cant spell, leaves words out or duplicates them, or knows what grammar even is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Welcome to the forum hihat123 ! Think we understand. Try ebay for a start and maybe put an advert for WTB(wanting to buy) in the garage sale section here since you are a member with a description of the part you need and let's see what if anything pops up for you. Other members here will maybe give you more or better advice. Seems I saw an iGroove for sale from time to time on craigslist. Good fortune!

dtr20 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 They come up occasionally on eBay and craigslist (at least in my area). I bought my groove for $20 (I think) on eBay. Awesome little machine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtr20 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/272564980463 This is supposed to fully work. It's beat up a bit, but you could steal parts from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow#422 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Getting away from a docking station, and based upon a recommendation here along with some supporting research on my end, I opted for a Fugoo Tough for one of the kids. This was my response to a Bose request from the little kin. Heavy unit, multi directional, water / splatter proof, drop proof, "up to" 40 hours of battery life / play time, blah blah blah. Do your own research and draw your own conclusions, but my pre Christmas order allowed for a great bargain and it came with the mounting kit - FREE - $169 to the door. This is a great bluetooth unit - but - ymmv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPaulson Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I only used JBL, but they're not necessarily budget-friendly. You can do some research and compare options here https://popular.reviews/portable-bluetooth-speaker/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
