cyclonecj Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I remember seeing a pair of Rosewoods in a shop in Oakland CA many years ago (late 70's?), even before I was into Klipsch. I remember them being the best looking speakers I had ever seen. They stayed there for many years until they finally closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrench_peddler Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 At times like this, I wish I had listened and gone on and got a degree, got a great job, saved all that money and most of all wish I could have been the first one to have seen these. As it is, I have a couple of motorcycles I would be willing to sell, a son I could auction off and a very fine Wife I could rent out but I only have 5 and a half days. Ohhhhh, what to do?

Piranha Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Those are some *****IN loudspeakers! If only I had the $, room, and corners. Hell, I could even forgo my prescription for Viagra if I owned these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBusa Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 very nice but I like the lighter ones that edster has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Edster's are probably a lacquered finish and that would account for the lighter finish. The Rosewood's on eBay are an oiled finish and hence are somewhat darker. I am going to bet my brother in law Gilbert is going to be all over these. If he gets these his WO ones will more than likely be up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Wow, these sure are beautiful. Not to detract from these, but couldn't someone pay to have an expert woodworker put Rosewood veneer on any Klipschorns, and end up with equally attractive speakers? They wouldn't be original factory, granted. Or is rosewood veneer impossible to get nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 No, you can get very nice rosewood veneer in 8x4 sheets that is priced within moderation. It pays to try to hand pick the sheet(s) however. OR at least have a picture of the exact sheets you are considering. My cabinet maker buddy has offered to veneer my Cornwalls for work trade and the only reason I havent taken him up on it as they would have to be MOVED YET AGAIN and come out of my system as well. Still, I will do this at some point if I keep these or need someone to veneer a future purchase. It pays to have a pro do it right in my view. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 those are beautiful! I wish I could have a pair like that...tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiohead Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 They are indeed very beautiful speakers but they're a bit overpriced IMO. $4,000 is pushing it and the BIN price is a laugh. For that kind of money you could have a nice set of Khorns and some damn good gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 NO CASH,,,,Ohhh Crap!!!...But just look at those lovely's, hubba hubba hubba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschfoot Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Rosewood doesn't make them sound any better. Buy why not try to get the most $ for them? He can always relist or take an off eBay offer after it closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2364274660&category=3131 apparently there is a ban on importing Brazilian Rosewood, this is advertised as being imported pre-ban. There's enough here to do a pair of Klipschorns..... If I ran across a cheap pair of theatre models it would be a real temptation.
