How much are my speakers worth?

[Bakerlady1]

Good morning- I recently came into possession of a pair of klipschorn speakers. My mom bought them for her husband in ‘90. They’re in decent shape and haven’t been used really for the past 20 years or so. How do I figure how much they are worth and where is the best place to sell them. I have no use nor do I have the room for them. Any advice would be appreciated.

@Bakerlady1,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

You have yourself some very special speakers.

 

First take and post some very detailed photos to show condition.  Please de-dust them before you do, if not it will show and will not give a good visual representation of your Khorns.  Make sure you take photos of the labels as well as the internals(crossover, wiring, etc.).  Your geographic location is important because of demand.

 

Folks on this forum will give honest and relatively accurate estimations of their market value and this forum here is the best place to sell them.

price will depend on the condition, wood veneer finish, year they were made & location but since you havent provided any of that info or pics, a ballpark estimate for average condition 1980s-mid 1990s K-horns would be $2500-3000.  if in mint condition & more desirable finish like walnut they could be closer to $4000-4500.  run of the mill oak with nics & scratches & stains etc would be on the lower side or less of the first estimate.  thats based on what ive seen in my area & what ive sold 2 pair of K-horns for recently.

 

i saw this weekend you posted pics on one of the facebook klipsch groups with a price of $4500,  based on the pics showing oak finish with brown grilles, scratches, possibly veneer issues & stains & mice poop, i think that may be a little high but you are free to ask what you want & im sure someone will make an offer you both can agree on... randy said hes interested without even seeing them!  

 

best of luck with the sale.

Post your photos here, to include photos of the serial number tags so we can determine what you have and when they were made.  This is a good place to sell them.  If you want a wider audience, I suggest U.S. Audio Mart or Canuck Audio Mart in the event you are in Canada.

they are 1990, oak with brown grilles.  pics were posted on a klipsch facebook group & they must have already determined the price, listed for $4500

I just purchased a nice pair of KB-WO-HF for 4500 on Facebook...maybe I got a bargain.

[avguytx]

Wow.  Used Klipschorns up to $4500 now huh.  I sue wish I could have kept the one owner 1978 KB-OW's pair I bought for $500 back in 2008.  Oh how times have changed.

Can I get some help setting a sales price for my Klipschorn speakers? 1994, golden oak cabinets w/black grilles, excellent condition.  Is this the right place on this forum to post this question?  Thanks.

It’s normally better to start a new thread, but not a big deal.  I’m not an expert in Khorn pricing but there are several here who will help you out.

[jcn3]

@Gary Weiner -- those are certainly nice looking speakers.  where are you located? i'm not a khorn pricing expert, but price does vary based on location.  welcome!

If you would like I can split this off into a separate thread and you may get more views and input on it 

[Gary Weiner]

Sure, please do split my pricing request off into a separate thread, and let me know how to monitor it.  I don't see how to do it.  Thanks!

I'm in Bozeman Montana.

Just saw this forum is it stiill up ?? Have question on some speakers ?? Any help would appreicate

[Benbanksy]

@Gary Weiner I think you will get a great price in Bozeman if you haven't sold already... lots of homes with ideal space, lots of homeowners with ideal disposable income, and not a lot of Klipschorn's out there.
