Cal Blacksmith Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 He had a flood in his basement and they were sitting upside down (in storage in cardboard). A pipe froze and they were in 4 or 5 inches of water. Are there any plans to make him new cabinets or am I going to need to measure and remake what he had?

You could always just find a used set and salvage what drivers are good to keep for backups. You can usually find excellent used for $300-$350.

I have been looking but the last pair here sold for $700/pair. As far as salvage parts, everything inside is good 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pair that is as close to mint as you can get that I would part with if you’re close to Indiana. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep looking but when my shop building is built, I have some decent wood working stuff, making new cabinets won't be real hard but they won't say Hope Arkansas on them either and that isn't good for resale though I doubt he would ever part with cabinets built by his old man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyboy6100 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I would say if you have the means, build new cabs. They are great speakers. Actually the speakers that started me into the Klipsch madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWOReilly Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 @Cal Blacksmithif the drivers are still good you could sell to offset the cost of something else. I see Klipsch from time to time up that way. I’d just be patient. Good luck! And if notice any down this way I’ll let ya know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the internals of his old set are good so I think we will give building new cabinets a try. The worst that can happen is we waste a bit of wood. It will be a little while before I get around to making them though, I still need to build a shop building..... so a while lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
