myram Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 Well it's on it's way. I finally got some responses for all the wanted ads all over the internet, and found a totally mint Black one with original box and everything for a pretty sweet price. I can't wait to get it on Tuesday and try it out. So now I guess I can say that the KV 3 is going to be up for sale shortly....so if anyone is interested in a mint condition KV 3 with original box and manual, let me know. ------------------ Home Theater System: Klipsch Quartets - mains for both systems Klipsch KV3 - center Klipsch KG.5's - rear surrounds Klipsch KSW12 subwoofer Denon AVR-1601 JVC 36D201 36" TV JVC HR-S3600 SVHS Player JVC XV-M565BK DVD Player Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2100 Digital Cable box Music System: Adcom GFA-555 Musical Concepts Modified NAD 1600 Pre/Tuner Sony C-67ES CD Player Playstation 2 Monster Power HTS-2000 MIT Speaker Cable RS Gold Interconnects Monster S-Video and Component Cables This message has been edited by myram on 08-10-2001 at 01:59 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean sales brochures or something like that, no I don't have any of those....but I wouldn't mind getting ahold of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 I have,somewhere,a COPY of the one page literature from Klipsch from several years ago.Guess at the time of my request they didn't have original's so they mailed a copy.I'll see if I can find it.
