mardigraspete Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 One owner and in great shape. There are two defects that i can see, three small circles on one speaker from a bottle of oil the kids put on it and a scratch on the plastic low on the other. They actually look worse in the pictures. I've since worked on the spots and they're just about gone. Everything is original except for new grill fabric. Inside the speaker are the clear jacketed monster style wire.I'm also missing one of the plastic feet that cover the carpet spikes. These also come with a matching KV-4 center channel. It's been in storage for a while and worked fine last time i used it. I haven't tested it though. These are the best speakers that i have owned and after 25 years it's time for a change. They sound great, some of the best Klipsch have made. Local pickup only in the Baton Rouge, La area. $525.00 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Nice looking Epics in walnut. 👍 Also a great deal for those in the area. Whoa, a one owner pair, you have had those for a bit of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogwylde09 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Great deal you have there mardisgrapete. Look to be version 1 also. I'm not far (3.5 hrs.) If they hang around until the weekend, which I doubt, you might get a pm. GLWS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody_Mack Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Put me in line as very interested. I also can do weekend pickup, if still available. Rick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Awesome price ... someone better get these FAST Got a pair of these (OK; version 2) a couple of months ago. Think they are the BEST speakers Klipsch ever made - except maybe the CF-4 and the larger PRO stuff. Actually, power handling is in the pro range ... 250W, 1250W peak. Had them powered with a vintage Marantz 1060 (30wpc) and they sounded great. Switched to a Kenwood C2/M2 (220wpc) combo and now they sound magnificent.

hogwylde09 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 @Cody_Mack, go for them. I already have CF4's and 3's albeit not v1's. You will really like them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to buyer and seller. Let's hope you guys can work out the details and keep those in a Klipsch house where they will be much loved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like no other I have heard, and I have heard pretty much all of them in the Consumer line. Loving my CF-4s with a Parasound A21. The Will Vincent Baldwin, at 27 wpc sounds marvelous, but it can run out of gas leaving you wanting more. And these are the first Klipsch speakers where I finally experience that powerful yet toned mid-bass folks rave about. My only disclaimer is that I have not yet heard the KLFs, and I am really Jonesin to do that! Right, @teaman? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogwylde09 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 @Cody_Mack, if you do make the drive to Louisiana. And want to hear KLF-30's, I am 70 miles north of Beaumont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigraspete Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 i've basically owned 2 pairs of speakers, a pair of heresy's in the 80's and these epic's bought in 94. And every speaker i've heard since don't sound any better to me. I've been looking at speakers seriously for the last several months and everything i listen to i go nope no better than what i have, especially anywhere near its price range. If i wasn't downsizing and just looking for a change i would keep them. They are really great sounding speakers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other speakers have you listened to in your search to replace them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only disclaimer is that I have not yet heard the KLFs, and I am really Jonesin to do that! Right, @teaman? If you have a designated seating position, these CF-3 and 4 will sound fantastic. If you are more up and down, waling and standing, the KLF 20 and 30 may be better for you. The top mounted tweeter and mid horn are closer to your ear and suffer less wash out. Personally I prefer the three way, because to me the midrange makes it special, however these CF are amazing speakers with great balance. ***Good luck with your sale mardigraspete!*** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardigraspete Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Shiva, I listened to revel, dynaudio, harbeth, maggies, focal, kef etc. i have some zu's and fritz speakers in the house now. I think i'm going with the fritz's. He's from your neck of the woods. Nice guy. Anyway, the epics competed with all those above easily. They competed with with their higher end models. They punch way above their price point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
