staticmajik Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Been waiting for local pair forever to pop up but no luck yet. Looking for a black pair if possible. Live in St Paul Mn. Willing to pay Fedex freight for delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 You are looking for the Holy Grail of Klipsch speakers my friend. I wish you luck in finding them, the v1's don't come up for sale very often because the people who have them tend to hang on to them. I have a pair of v1's in Med Oak to which I did various upgrade mods. The stock CF-4s are great but my mod'd CF-4's knock the stockers right out of the park. When paired with a 15" sub mine are the most accurate speakers I've ever heard. My reference material is a grand piano because it is one of the most difficult instruments to reproduce accurately because of the range and dynamics. If speakers can sound like a grand piano is sitting in your living room, it can do anything else. Welcome to the forum, and I really hope you find them. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabeous Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It took me about 10 years to find my set - I had wanted Cherry. You might consider setting an asking price - you might get someone to move. I had to pay shipping, $500 and I didn't blink at the asking price of my speakers, $1500. These are rare and tough to find - I wish you the best of luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LalaWoots Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Good luck! I am only looking for one speaker to use as a center channel, I will let you know if I find anything, I think I have a good lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'd take a pair of CF-4 v1's if they happened along; even owning CF-3's. They are that good. But I'm still ordering a pair of Forte 3's after Labor Day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabeous Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Did you all see the walnut CF-4 version 1 speakers for sale in Detroit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discgolfer123 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 There is a KV4 same general area as Detroit priced to sell. Great match for center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_in_dfw Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 How much are you willing to pay for them? And are you willing to pay shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 You have CF-4's too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_in_dfw Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Yes. Just bought some. Debating on keeping Forte, KG5.5 or CF4s. Selling the ones I don't keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite the first world conundrum you have there. 👍 Good luck with your choice. Sounds like fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I know which two I would get rid of and which one to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 My modded CF-4's w/15" sealed sub are the best speakers I've ever heard. Over the RF-83, over the La Scala, over the Khorn. My choice might not be the best for you. Type of music, amps, room, 2.0 vs 5.1 setup, WAF all makes a difference in what's best for you.

I'm not crazy about rear firing passive radiators because it limits placement options of which I have few in my current residence. My KLF-30s sit closer to the wall than is optimal but for now it'll do. Another day I'd like to move the ports to the front and brace and seal them up for another 30 years. YMMV Whichever combination i find myself returning to most frequently after hours and hours of listening, and a few adult beverages, is the winner. Enjoy the journey, it's not always about the destination...Unless you have an Aunt Edna riding backseat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Those and the Forte, of either iteration, would go packing and the CF's would stay. I had seriously thought about getting Forte 3's (I don't pay retail) but decided to save my money and build my Belles and call it good. I still don't see F3's sounding "that much" better than my CF-3's plus don't want them that far off the wall. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
