greg928gts Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I have no affiliation with the seller, just passing this along if anyone is interested. The seller would like to know what it is worth. The speaker is in Monterey, California. Contact me if you are seriously interested and I'll forward the seller's contact info.

Daddy Dee Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Greg, I won't be any help to the seller, but sure am glad you posted these pics. Amazing to see a speaker of this vintage in such good shape. 49 years old. wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 You know what's dissapointing to me, is that this speaker will probably sell for less than $500. It's a shame that a great piece of Klipsch history doesn't command more value than that? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Agreed, and it is a beauty. But if we had a 1-Channel Audio forum, how many members would be in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg928gts Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Actually, I've been told that this may not be a 1956 model. Apparently the sticker that is shown in the picture is from the midrange horn and for several years of production Klipsch used drivers that were made in 1956. We'd have to see the sticker and/or serial number on the bass bin to tell the year. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardre Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hi Greg, Is this speaker actually for sale? You posted 'the seller would like to know what it is worth', and I think we all assumed it was for sale..... Would be interested in knowing what drivers lie within.....can you get this info for us? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Robinson Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Ed, pretty tempting, eh? Would look great with your vintage Klipschorns and custom Belle. How are you feeling these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Wow, you guys want to setup a 1-channel system. The 2-channel forum really has gone off the deep end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
