jubilee333 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi all! I'm June. I've been lurking the forums for a few days now trying to pick up what I can about klipsch and audio equipment in general. I've started DJing parties this year (under the name Jubilee, just a coincidence!) and have realized I've definitely been bit by the audiophile bug within the past few months via reading and hearing about David Mancuso's use of Klipschorns at the Loft in Tim Lawrence's book Love Saves the Day and Love is the Message podcast. I haven't yet heard Klipsch speakers or anything of their caliber, but I am very eager to, and looking to acquire a pair of my own. It seems like Cornwalls, Fortes and Khorns are the favorites among many, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled and ears open for any of these available in Central Florida, but I already have seen a few CL listings for KG 4.2s and 4.5s. Any thoughts on KGs? Would also love if anybody could point me to some good beginner resources for learning about high end audio! Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually check and post deals that I find. Several KGs about down here. Was an overpriced pair of Klipschorns in Lakeland recently. If I see something that may interest you close to Orlando, will let know. Craigslist I search for deals in Florida. Ones I do not look at much is facebook, offer up sources. You will find, good hunting. Orlando? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be ready with access to cash, and be ready to reply quick. And hopefully if you want to a demo you can. Keep eyes out on local market. Tampa area can get hot quick.

Want to look for damage to cabinets and both grilles removed to view the speakers for apparent damage. Price isn't crazy so, if you are happy cool. If find something disenchanting offer less, if seller appears affable enough. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 La Scalas with a sub will work great doing dances and events. I've used a single pair of La Scalas with no subs for a party of over 100 and the place was rockin'. Welcome to the Klipsch party! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
