billybob Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Don't know what to say! Can understand seller not wanting to do it. Wonder how Klipsch managed shipping these. Sorry to throw a wrench into this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, over time plastic becomes brittle resulting in breakage with shipping older speakers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSoloRocker Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 When I found a pair in Colorado last year, the seller shipped each RB-75 separately without disassembling anything. All arrived well without negative effect. They were shipped to Texas, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Could well be the case although, it must be the handling that causes the damage like a sudden snap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Don't think I can handle the suspense, and not even mine. Is air crazy rates? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSoloRocker Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 What about these posted in Texas? Klipsch RB-75 Speakers in Cherry - electronics - by owner - sale (craigslist.org) They've been for sale a long time. I'm not even sure why. The seller will only correspond via CL email relay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha; probably the $850 price tag (with blemish) But have seen them even for $1200 FYI, paid $450 for mine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yeah My RB-75's shipped (with drivers in a separate box). Should be here in 8 ( ) days. No clue what to do about stands (WAF). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 32 minutes ago, billybob said: marvelous skills you have...🤔 Thank you, but way too much praise Prefer plain black (store bought) stands, but wife doesn't like those. So; thinking cedar stands. Have a 4x4x8 post which I could just cut to size; put 2x10x12 tops/bottoms on it and be done. Wondering if the 4x4 would be sturdy enough as the RB-75's way 32# each? (May have to chop it up into 2x2's and put those on the corners.) Appreciate any input 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
