falcon20x Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 $ 150. They do not look like much but they sound great. Cabinets have no structural damage. One Woofer has crease and one dust cal is broken and 2 woofers have slight indentations. Grills look good but the pegs are all broken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha ... trying to put these in a vintage stereo console ... not sure yet if I can make 10" woofers fit Console is coming Tuesday ... will let you know then - or earlier.

Emile Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 OK; confused Looked up the specs and found 2 different versions ... one says 10" woofers, another one 8" woofers. If they are 8" I'll take them (if you want to ship the components). If 10" I'll have to check my box next week Thanks, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon20x Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 I’m confused about what it is you want. Do you want the cross over, horns and woofers shipped to you? As long as you pay the asking price and the shipping, I guess I could do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi; yes ... woofers, horns, crossovers, connector plates, wiring and tubes (if any). The RF-3's supposedly are GREAT speakers ... anyone for a comment ???? So, yes, want to use the "components" in a vintage stereo console. Yes; we Klipsch guys are "weird." Shipping should be less than $50 ... where are you located? I'm in St Pete, FL 33702.

Emile Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi Florida neighbor @billybob ... think I will have a problem "enclosing" these RF-3's in a similar volume as the originals Any idea what they would sound like WITHOUT an enclosure just like in the pic below? Or ... maybe I can make a sealed box around them PS ... cannot "get rid" of the 2 shelves in the lower right compartment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 6 minutes ago, billybob said: have you gently powered up the tubes with a variac, or other device to not shock the system? Haha ... getting the console this Tuesday and will "slowly" power it up to see what happens But pretty sure it is dead as seller told me he had not plugged it in ... translation: dead. So was thinking of putting a Marantz amp in it and the RF-3 speakers. And yes; will slowly try some different approaches OK; will leave this thread alone and start a new one when I get the console Cheers, Emile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The RF-3 woofers can work great in smallish ported enclosures just look at the RC-7 cabinets same woofers and surprisingly good strong bass. The thing that would worry me with this project is the horn / woofers being so low to the ground, especially the horn you would want to mount them angled up quite a bit so the horn is aimed near the ears at listening position otherwise they might sound dead and kind of lifeless. Anyway looks like a fun project best of luck to you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon20x Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 I did take the local add down and responded to him last night. I did not realize that this was a urgent matter for Emile and that he is expecting immediate shipping with unrealistic Time line and shipping quote. Still for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
