The mighty. The undisputed champion of the Live Concert Sound.Have moved from a large home to small apartment so I've got to give them up.Great shape. Couple small dings and abrasion. Light birch with Verathane finish. The Klipschorns tower over my other speakers in their dynamic realism and sheer listenability. CDs played through them possess lifelike, compression-free qualities. Furthermore, the horn midrange and tweeter are impressively devoid of c haos in the midst of instrumental outbursts. Although Klipschorn possesses impressive detailing, realism and musicality, perfection doesnt exist in any loudspeaker system. While its extreme sensitivity permits the use of low-power purist amplifiers, mating it to a suitable amp is crucial.SpecsSensitivity: 104dB/w/mBandwidth: 35Hz 17.5kHz +/- 3dBCrossover Frequencies: 400Hz and 6kHzNominal Impedance: 8 ohmsOutput: 124dB maximum continuousPower Handling: 100 watts maximum continuous (400 watts peak)Configuration: Fully horn-loaded, three-way systemDriver Components: K77-M 1" Phenolec tweeter, K55-M 2" Phenolec midrange, K33-E 15" folded-horn wooferWeight: 167 lbs.

triceratops Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I sent an email yesterday with my phone number, less than an hour after this was originally posted. Like Chris I am local to the poster. And like many emails sent to Craig's List postings I received no reply. I won't be surprised if this ad stays up until it expires--long after the item is gone. This is one of the frustrations for me with Craig's List--because the ad is anonymous, people don't bother to communicate after the item is sold. Of course, sometimes the item doesn't even exist and the poster is just wasting people's time or collecting email addresses. For me another frustration is seeing Klipsch stuff from the local Craig's List posted on the Klipsch Forum. My understanding is that Craig's List is a local bulletin board, that's why there are lists for many different cities. It offers the opportunity to buy something locally without the hassle factor and shipping woes of ePay. I realize that some Forum members canvas Craig's List nationally looking for Klipsch stuff, and I respect their initiative. It appears to me that some folks even have a way of searching classified ads in newspapers all over the country. But do we really need to encourage more Forum members to respond to Craig's List ads out of their area? Don't most members check the local Craig's List ads on their own? If the seller wanted to deal with out of state buyers wouldn't they post the speakers on ePay, or Audiogon, or here on the Klipsch Forum? I'm done whining now.

mungkiman Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Seems the first listing may have been to flush out some potentially interested buyers. The price has already doubled. Too bad there is no recourse against such sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Same thing happened to me a few months ago. I contacted a guy in Wisconsin about a pair of Heresy that was originally listed for $250. Then two weeks later they were $225 or best offer. I seen them after the second post so I email the guy. He replies that they are $400, because that would be the price to get a new, used pair. So that is when the emails stopped on my end. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
