My wife cosigned for my first bank loan so I could buy Khorns, which I had for 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Whatever math we all use to qualify our decisions sometimes makes PERFECT sense applied as a yearly cost. Six grand over a modest ten years of sonic bliss is a meagre 600 bucks a year. What’s that, the cost of a daily cup of coffee? “For the price of a cup of coffee every day you COULD be listening to Cornwall’s!” LOL! That should be KLIPSCH’S new marketing slogan! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of wisdom here! Though I have no clue what I paid for my LaScalas.... let's call it $1,500. Bought them in 1979 so that's now 41 years so that's approximately $36/year. Heck.... I paid $6,500 for the Jubilee's and that now, was (I think) 2007 so that's 13 (yikes) years or down to $500/year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t like this enough. This is how I justified my Fortes, my TV, everything in my Audio/video system . It just makes since to me. And I’m very happy with my stuff too.

Considering they are still worth about that much and you could get almost all your money back you really spent nothing...just tied your money up for a bit.

You have to amortize the original cash outlay into your daily listening cost. They are worth zero when you go to sell, that way you can claim the selling price as income or a "win". This windfall can be put into the budget for next pair of speakers. This is the same approach used in gambling. When you win, it is found money. You don't even consider the cash already spent, that money is gone and was put into the ""entertainment" expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retirement is GREAT! I have no idea how I had time to work. Buy a Miata. Drive it to New Orleans, eat at Mr. John's and Emeril's. Drive it to Luckenbach, enjoy a show. Spend as much time on Route 66 as possible. Visit the Tail of the Dragon. Buy your Cornwalls! The IVs are superb! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jubilee?? If that's what you mean, then that's news to me. I don't believe they've stopped production. Hmmm....now that I think about it, maybe they DID stop production..... did I say my price just quadrupled?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 The Cornwall’s are paid for and will be order Monday by Chris Cooper of Solutions Home Entertainment in Hot Springs! This is what made the struggle for the legal tender worth all the BS and all those things that make you thankful to be alive and blessed. Too many friends lost the battle too early. If all goes as planned we will see about going to Hope in March. 🔊🔊🍾 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 congrats!!!! the dream becomes reality I can relate to a lot of your last post, Brenda.
