Thanks all for your thoughts and those who PM'd. Given the weight and construction challenges these present -I'll likely monitor my local Craigslist post for a bit.. ultimately, hoping somebody adopts a project that really would be a labor of love. Failing that, I'll probably part-out the drivers in pairs on 'bay. Thanks again. As I said originally, I realize these aren't a run-of-the-mill pair... appreciate folks' input.

Friend, I didn't come to argue. Peace out.

posted 9 hours ago. http://nh.craigslist.org/ele/4881494934.html condition: good make / manufacturer: Klipsch model name / number: Klipschorn size / dimensions: ~175lbs No harm, no foul. I did post on CG first this afternoon. "Andrew Seward" emailed me from that post and informed me about this forum, suggesting I would have more luck posting here. Following folks' input here, I just updated the photos there. I'm just following good advice... Phil

Wvu80, Will do. Thanks again for your input. I genuinely appreciate it. Phil

As I said, they're rough...

Wvu80, thanks for kind words and input. I'll be sure to post photos in the morning. Cabinets are rough. I'm guessing the value of them may be for those looking for the drivers. Again, thanks for the input, much obliged. Phil

Budman, Sorry for the newbie mistakes. Thanks for the input -much appreciated. I'll follow-up with photos and a ball-park price in the morning (though honestly, I feel like I'm guessing..)

Hi -So this is a unique pair I'm selling. My father-in-law was an audio engineer and scientist for Martin Marietta back in the day (yes, he was literally a rocket scientist). In his spare time he handmade exquisite spanish guitars and dabbled in all things high-end audio. He assembled this pair of Klipschorns using individual, original parts and then constructed the cabinets from original plans. The bass drivers are Electro Voice 18WK, -of course, they are stunning drivers. The mid-drivers are Electro Voice 55K drivers which he then hand-cast ceramic horns for with a friend from the lab -very smooth sounding. The tweeters are Electro Voice T350's. The cabinets are rough plywood; he never got around to finishing the veneer on them.. I know, too bad. Cross-overs were manufactured by a friend. How do they sound? Simply put; stunning. They truly can reproduce full orchestral music at concert volume. Debussy's la Mar will bring tears to your eyes... I kid you not. They're the bee's knees. Why am I selling them? They're in our basement and we're moving in a month. I am sad to say we don't have room for them in our new (smaller) home. He gave them to me years ago and I have his blessing to sell them now. They really deserve to go to someone who knows what they're capable of and who's willing to complete the construction/restoration. What's the price? Email me with an offer and we can talk. I'm mostly concerned that they go to a good home. Phil philm162@gmail.com
