DTO Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hey newbie I’m wondering who you are? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blvdre Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I thought Iteachstem, after trading his Fortes for these (your) KLF 30s, and refurbishing the cabinets, left the OEM drivers installed. Is that not correct? The cabinets do look nice, BTW. It would be good to see a close up of the cabinet bases, where the water damage occurred, and was repaired.

OO1 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 these new woofers are most likely CIARE 12 inch woofers - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blvdre Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Must be. A nice change, from the reviews I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realize these were those. I hadn’t seen klf-30s that color around this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not correct? I pulled the drivers to refinish the cabinets. The plan was to order the Ciare drivers, but they were out of stock... and are still on back order as of 12/21/2020. So I put them back in. I have a friend who is interested in the KLF 30's I restored However, he is wanting to use them in his shop. I told him that if he gets a little silly at beer-thirty on a Friday and blows one of the woofers, they are very hard to come by. So, I ordered up some aluminum cone bad boys that would meet his needs and yet still sound awesome! They are about 3dB less efficient than the stock drivers, but he is bi-amping, so it is not an issue as he can adjust for that in signal processing and amplification. The challenge speakers.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotsToLearnCW1 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I am glad you were able to salvage these. Nice work! I came across DTO locally as he was purchasing stuff cheap around Chicago and reposting on the Klipsch forum and other local sites the next day. The claims of labor intensive sanding and refinishing were just untrue. I was in contact with the seller that had sold them to him, but couldn’t make the trip. The Academy’s, quartets and Chorus’ that are bragged about on here were all purchased well below market value and then flipped here or locally. To each his own, but when called out privately the lies came spewing out. This is a great community and glad he was finally exposed for the deception. I don’t believe deleting threads with serious issues would serve as justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotsToLearnCW1 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Are you suggesting quartets migrate??? I reminded you that it was looked down upon to flip merch to the community through the forum. According to your post it seems it was August that you bought the 8.5/10 oak quartets and matching 9/10 academy for ~$500 and immediately flipped the academy. I believe I saw another thread about you trying to find the going rate on quartets and posted a link from Detroit. Either way, when I saw iteachstem have an issue with some shady deals it validated my suspicions over the past few months. We live in an anarcho-syndicalist commune and we take turns to act as an executive officer for the week... not sure if we would need a simple majority or 2/3rds majority in this instance?

Do i have a super fan or a stalker? I also realize that this a community but did not realize we are communists. And where are these quartets I’m selling?
