I got these perfectly operational babies in some kind of Klipsch "utility" type cabinet like Advent used to do. These are bare wood. These are not a kit, as they have all the tested by and inspected by stickers from the Klipsch factory. No dented/crunched corners.

Bare wood means that you can:

1. Staple Hendrix pictures all over the sides and tops. Backs too if they're going near windows.

2. Paint them day-glo orange, get a black light and go for it.

2.5 Do day-glo planets and shooting stars and stuff in ALL KINDS of day-glo colors, get a black light and be KotH.

3. Cover them in faux leopard skin.

4. Finish them like pirate chests.

5. American flag paint job.

$150 local pick-up only.


Yamaha CR-1020 receiver w/wood case. Just about mint. $200 local pick-up only.

    UGH! You're killin' me George!

    Can I bring my mini tube amp over and check out the Heresys? If they sound purty, I'll probably purchase them.

    Dang. Why can't you live about 3,000 miles WEST. :)

    Of the options given, I'd shoot for a combination of #1 and #2. These truly sound very interesting, too bad I don't live closer. :frown:

    Excellent price George (local pick up or not)!

    A friend of mine has the same model, same raw cabinets he bought in the early '80's.

    I tried to talk him into taking the drivers/horns out and taking them to the local truck bedliner place to have them sprayed.

    Speakers to last a lifetime!:biggrin:

    GLWTS!

    If ever there were a definition for Vintage, this is it! And at fantastic prices! Hope one of you picks up those Klipsch.

    I'd love a shot at the Yamaha myself. But am already locked into a '80 Pioneer. Oh well, if on the odd chance that that Yammie is still down there when I visit my sister in Pa. in early August I might swing by for it. Till then, one of you better pick this up and save me some coin. lol

    Too many westerners.


    John, that's a great idea, but I'd like to minimize my participation in the demonstration even further. Take them home and listen to them in your own house.

    This is exhausting work.

    I could do that. You in a super rush to get rid of them or can it wait until Saturday morning?

    Yeah he did, and Tony Rome broke him off a substantial audio piece. HBR's from 1980.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Let me know if you tire of them, please.

    Very nice purchase!
