thales Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Can anyone tell me if you should buy the quintet speakers from someone on EBAY. Many people are selling them for about 70 dollars. How can they sell them so cheap. Also does anyone know how heavy they are. Thanks, Thales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Here's a dump from the spec page off the main web site. Yes, you can buy them off Ebay, but beware you will have no warranty. But at that price, frankly, who cares!

TwoWatt Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I just checked ubid has em for $100 shipped. AND...AND...AND you get a warranty from Klipsch. I bought a pair from UBID for like 80 bucks (shipped),this was when they first started selling em by the 100's) and a pair from ebay for 90(shipped),after I couldnt find them on ubid when I wanted the extra pair. Either way I have had zero problems with both sets, they sound great for what they are, and were bought at a great price. I have had these about a year(Although upgraditis has set in, off for the RF-3's) They were my first ever "speaker" purchase. You need a dedicated sub though. It was funny, I had a friend over, he said "damn those little speakers put out some bass" I turned off my (well-hidden)sub and he said "Oh!, I see." Proof that bass is non-directional? Even when I get the RF's, I will be using the four quintets I have as surrounds, if that tells you how much I like em. Edit: the ones on ubid are white. Dont make the same mistake as me and get the wrong color (got white,wanted black) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
