Hello everybody

 

i just got me a pair of RP-8000F II ,  but they don't seem to have a serial number on them (only on the boxes)

 

is this normal?

 

EDIT 8 jan 24: they are on the bottom of the speakers 🙂

That first 5 is actually an S.  Armed with that info, this thread will tell you all you need to know:

Randy, I’m really encouraging people to click the link and read and learn.  We all know that you know more about Klipsch than most people.  Sometimes it’s ok to guide people to the information instead of just spewing it all out.  👍

Yes welcome...you will get more chance of an answer in the technical section below, even the subwoofer section.

Good luck...

For the first one, value would be extremely difficult to pinpoint due to the rarity and provenance.  Many have donated speakers like that to the Klipsch Museum for a tax deduction.

 

The second pair were made in ‘88 (first 2 numbers of the serial #).

Maybe we can find a buyer for the Prototype that works fine from the Chicago fair in 195?? If its that rare? why give away?? Already contacted Museum... they are stewing?

I’ll ask you one question: have you or anyone you know ever bought what ended up being counterfeit Klipsch speakers?

Pics? I mean it seems to be Quartets. Pics would help. Those of us that have owned them will help.

S/N 044-3919-1966 Chorus II.

 

They are mine, but I can't remember what year in the 80's or so we bought them. It says copyright 1989 on them, but I can't place buying them in 89.  Feel like it was early 90's. Any ideas? I remember the cats we had, so I'm thinking it might have been in the 80's but more likely '90's. They are the clear oak with #19 grill, Gorgeous, old blond oak speakers. Excellent shape except a bit of wear and tear from moving. But for 35 years, pristine.
