What is a fair price for a 2015 set of K-horns in excellent condition. Walnut/with all paperwork/consec.#s?

[formanj]

Local set has come up for sale, but I do not know what to offer.  I am willing to pay a fair price, but I also need to be able to recoup my money if they are not "all that I thought they would be".  I currently possess a pair of Cornwall 2s, but I am thinking of pulling the trigger on the K-horns.  Thanks for any info!

No help with a fair price for the Khorns, but I venture to say if you’ve been pleased with Cornwall 2s, you’re unlikely to be disappointed with the Khorns.  Good luck.

Randy will be along shortly to tell you they are EASILY worth $15,000 and you better hurry.

 

Being close to you is worth a lot. So is the remorse of "what if". In 2018 or 19 I sold almost perfect WO Khorns and a single matching Belle center in nice but not perfect condition for $3,500. They had all original parts + custom crossovers for all 3 and "upgraded" tweeters. That was a while ago and 1987 models. Prices have no doubt gone up since then. I'd say Budman is in the ball park 6,000-7,500 and another +/- 1,500 depending on if just a passing curiosity or I gotta have them. Again, proximality is a BIG deal in my opinion. What is your time worth if you have to make a weekend out of a multi-state trip. In my book easily 1,000. If I'm remotely close that should give a range of 4,500 - 10,000. A big swing depending on motivation. Knock that last 1,000 for being close and you are 4,500-9,000. Me, I'd be a buyer at 5-6K only because I had them for 14 years and moved on. Truth be told I don't miss them as much as I used to.

That's not even a remote possibility if you like your Cornwall II's...

Remember, there is inflationary effects happening in today's market.

Dude ,  Welcome to the Klipsch Forum  , Randy 

 

the cost of new khorns is 16500$   https://upscaleaudio.com/products/klipsch-klipschorn-ak6-loudspeaker-each

Shipping costs are at least 1k$  

used 2015 Khorns dont come up too often , so pricing could be anywhere from 9-10k$  , anything lower would be a bargain .

 

BTW , thete are a lot of people out there looking for 2015 khorns  , including me , so if you fall on a mint pair , dont tell us where they are , and swoop them fast before another Bonehead on the Forum  beats you to it

cant say a fair price for newer 2015 K-horns,  but unless they are exactly what you want & very local for easy pickup,  i would suggest looking for a slightly older pair of AK3 that were into the mid-late 1990's,  they have the exact same drivers as 2015 last i knew & only a slight change to crossovers but those can be changed/upgraded if you prefer.  older ones will be about half the price or less than $9-10k & be 99% the same speaker.

I'd start at $6k.

Face it the Klipsch community is cheap. I had a T-Shirt that i wore to BWM rally events that said "The Cheapest Thing On A BWM Motorcycle Is The Driver"

Vast understatement.
