swegyptian Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Selling my front stage of Klipsch Palladium. I'm moving to a small town in the next month or so, and I'd like to take advantage of being in the Chicago metro area to sell these before I go. Towers are mint, but the center was a floor model, and unfortunately it shows. I have everything (boxes, packing, grills, accessories, etc.) for the towers. Center is missing its accessory kit, but has everything else. I'll let the photos speak for the condition on the center. There are no mashed corners, but it seems the finish on the top was redone, and it is more glossy than it should be. There is also some speckles from the process that are on the front of the speaker. I'm guessing this should come off with the right chemical, but it's not visible from more than about 3 feet away, so I left it alone. The woofers also have some slight marks in them from someones fingers. The grill has no issues. These are located in the west Chicago suburbs, and I would like to stay local for now, despite having the packaging. I would consider shipping via freight if someone wants to send the freight forwarder to me and have them palletize the bundle. Priced firmly at $3,700 for the bundle. Please let me know what questions come to mind. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 A wonderful setup... good luck with the sale. If they were 39's you'd already have my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Wow, good deal. Don't be afraid of Buying the P37's, they are about the same size as RF7s, not small speakers at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is close to me, I would have a hard time selling my Khorns for these. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swegyptian Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 P39s also cost 2.5 times as much. So I would also be all over it if someone was selling speakers that originally cost 20k for about 3k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP....good luck with your sale. A great price on some spectacular speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jirachi Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 You can remove that sticker goo using ronsonol lighter fluid on a cloth. Comes right off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swegyptian Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi all, I'm still alive and kickin'. That mark isn't quite tape residue, not sure what it really is. Maybe I should take a closer look. I'd happily separate the center from the towers, but my priority at this point is to keep it local. I'm considering shipping, too. But we will cross that bridge if I don't have any local bites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we will cross that bridge if I don't have any local bites. If anyone is seriously considering these, just buy the center too. You will regret not getting it, even if you just plan on two channel because that can change. I started 2 channel and now have Palladium surround. The center is awesome for movies and TV. No disappointment. If Klipsch had marketed these under a different name (like Toyota / Lexus) this line would have sold like crazy. The Audio-snobs just don't like "Best Buy Brands" although I can say that I prefer these to the B&W 800 series. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swegyptian Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 I had these and the original B&W Nautilus 803, and like the P37 more. I sold the 803 some time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
