Oicu812 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 These appear to be brand new, in the box. It looks like the seller has a second center channel as well listed on Reverb for $2,500. https://reverb.com/item/12224886-klipsch-palladium-speaker-set-surround-pair-woofer-center Klipsch Palladium Speaker Set (Surround Pair, Woofer, Center) Klipsch Speaker set:1x Subwoofer P-312W1x Center Speaker P-27C2x Surround Speakers P-27SExcellent condition. reverb.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Pretty good deal. They are becoming harder to find. They are a couple towers away from a very good HT setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Natural is much better looking in person but owners of the espresso say the same thing. Love me some Palladiums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I think the Espresso has more of an impact in person, they look dull in photos. I think the Merlot looks the best, and sounds better 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I had natural P39's and currently espresso P37s and a P312w. The natural looked a little "orangey" in my room at least. I really like the espresso. At a minimum someone pick up that P312. It really is a very nice sounding sub, awesome for music. It does an amazing job complimenting my LS2's. I'd love to find another one just to have stereo bass but honestly the way it fills in it just sounds like both LaScalas are playing. Not sure I'd really gain that much and certainly don't need the output. Someone get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMurg Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Sorry folks. I nabbed this set. Will be doing a loooong road trip to pick them up this weekend. Got the center and surrounds to replace the ones I have with finishes that don't match the rest of the Natural speakers in my system. Getting the Palladium sub was a good bonus. I'll be selling the Merlot center and Espresso surrounds soon. These speakers also have an interesting backstory. I'll relay that once I have them in hand. Edited November 28, 2018 by MMurg typo and add mention of sub 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This deal fell through, if anyone is looking. I guess there was some damage that wasn't disclosed. Can we get the back story now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMurg Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Needless to say it was a very disappointing weekend. I traveled over 12 hours one way by car to pick these up since I figured it would be cheaper and less risky that shipping. I was assured by the seller that "everything that came with the speakers originally is in the box with the speakers.. nothing has been opened or touched, boxes were opened to take photos of speakers for sale only". Unfortunately that did not turn out to be the case. There were no boxes at all. The only packaging was one side of foam for the center and the cloth bags for the center and sub. The grill for the sub was missing. Since they didn't take the center all the way out of the remaining packaging for the pictures, they didn't notice that the piece of metal in the middle with the Klipsch logo had come off and then stuck to the top of the veneer. You can see this if you look really closely at the picture from the add. Unfortunately, removing it pulled off an inch long strip of the veneer. Finally, someone had stuck rubber feet with permanent adhesive on the bottom of the wall-hanging surrounds. No one wasn't going to attempt remove them after what happened with the center. I though about taking the sub without the grill but then decided I didn't want to then argue about how much just the sub was going to be by itself. I just backed out of the whole deal. They did refund me promptly but I'm still out the money for several tanks of gas, about 50,000 Marriott points for the hotel stays, and two days of driving. From now on no more speaker pick ups more than I'm able to round trip in one day. Since this didn't turn out well I don't think I'll reveal the backstory since it involves public figures who may not want negative attention from this. Sorry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Damn man that's terrible. Truly sorry to hear that. I hate deals going sour that involve significant effort on one's behalf. I truly hope you find a killer deal on something special close to you to reward your efforts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I think you should tell us who the seller isPiss poor way of doing business and I believe we should know who he is so if someone else goes to buy something from him they can be more informed about his past 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMurg Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 At least the trip wasn't a total bust. A friend/former colleague of mine lives in Nashville. On Friday night we went out to dinner (Nashville Hot Chicken - it's hot for sure!) and then went to some of the clubs in town to hear some live music. Wow, Nashville really is the "music city". There are tons of 3-4+ story clubs and you can hear a different live act on almost every floor. There was also a much wider variety of music playing than I expected. I'm not a fan of country music but I found myself enjoying some of the country acts immensely. My favorite was The Don Kelley Band at Robert's Western World. Those guys can play! I even bought their new live CD that they were selling at the club. I think that's my first country CD. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I think that the seller got bad information from his boss (the public figure) who owned the speakers. He was asked to sell them but didn't have access to them until that sale. He got all the pics/info from his boss. I believe the story because the the public figure is a musician and I went to the band's studio to pick up the speakers. I got a full tour of the studios. I'm pretty sure the seller's business is usually used to sell the band's old gear. Edited December 3, 2018 by MMurg typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This is the problem I have found with reverb. Gear condition is usually not cared about widely and things are misrepresented IMO often. I have made several purchases there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
