jordan122345 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 So this is probably stupid question but here goes. There is a pair of RB61's local for $100. I finally got pics and the serial numbers are matching numbers is that correct or is there something weird going on? If everything checks out any reason not to buy them and they are in pretty good shape? Thanks as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If in good shape and operating properly, I would get them for $100.00. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Ok he says he bought them new that way so maybe I guess. Not sure how to make these work with the rf7iii's and the rc64iii but I will get it figured out I suppose.

wstrickland1 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I just bought a pair new from Fry's (free shipping) for less than $200 so it's very possible to score a pair used for $100. Who knows he may have got them from some outlet type seller for way less than I paid. They are great sounding speakers for their size. I am very impressed with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 And they do come in the same box, so maybe they do have the same number? That would be weird but possible. I'll check mine when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a pretty good price for sure. I wonder if between the awesome prices through Cory or Fryes if I shouldn't maybe hold off or offer a bit less? Also these are the original rb61's not the rb61ii's that I an looking at used here in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the series II adds but frankly at that level of speaker it just couldn't be (worth) much. I'd snag the $100 pair myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to go wrong with Klipsch RB-61's at $50 per speaker. You already have a nice setup so I'm not sure where they would fit into that system. Back surrounds maybe? You could also snag a mini-amp and use them for computer speakers or with a secondary TV. If you don't like them I imagine you could always sell them for what you have in them. +++ Yes, that s/n should be different on each speaker. I don't know what to make of that. +++ Note: Time up update the equipment list in your signature quote. You have some nice new stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I've heard that some modern models have the same serial #. I know counterfeit headphones exist but I'd highly doubt the existence of counterfeit bookshelf or floorstanding speakers, at least not at that level.

My RB61 II were bought as a pair, came in one box and both have the same S/N Never noticed it before, but there it is. Hope it helps. Great little speakers and @$100 / pair, a very good deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you post on-line using your phone you wouldn't see it. It shows you with RF-7's, RC-7. I think you mentioned above that you now have RF-7 III and an RC-64-III. +++ It's hard to imagine why somebody would be such a flake over a hundred dollar pair of speakers.
