Dave A Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I have four pairs of soldered lug K-55-V's that came from another MCM. I also have an MCM 1900 with K-55-M drivers in them currently. Is there a significant benefit to switching the drivers out and selling off the M's? I was going to list a pair on EBay and got to thinking about doing so since it will break up the set. On the other hand I can sell those soldered lug K-55's for $300 each pair so unless it is a noticable improvement I am leaning towards selling them all. Cleaning out all the stuff I had accumulated when I thought I might be building speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People "in the know" (especially on this Klipsch forum) know the soldered lug K-55v's are the Holy Grail of K-55 drivers. I don't know the exact selling price but I would guess about double the going rate for the standard K-55v and/or the K-55-M. The M is also a good version of the K-55 but not nearly as much in demand.

Dave A Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 I just sold a pair from another buy for $300 on EBay Friday. After looking for a long time I went from 0 pairs to five pairs in about a month and now I don't need them. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that when sellers don't know what they have they usually list them for half the going rate. I like the soldered lug versions but to my ears the A55-g is the way to go plus nice knowing the drivers are brand new and not 30+ years old. Die hard Klipschsters will take an older at least semi-worn out original product over new after-market regardless of performance so the 55v's will always be in demand I guess.
