Polkie price 2,500

I am helping a friend move these along. I am taking ownership of this sale however so you will deal directly with me on this. I simply want it stated out front I am not the original owner of these. I also am not taking any type of commision for this sale, simply helping a friend who needs to move along some gear do so.

They are a pair of Klipsh Palladium P17B's. They were used by the company at demo's and conventions and then sold to my freind directly. He is willing to put a Polkie price on them of 2,500 and there is a bit of wiggle room here so PM me if you have an offer. If pricing is out of line please let me know as well, he's looking to move them along for WAF reasons.

I would very much prefer NOT TO SHIP. He does not have the original boxes but might have the manuals. I wont totally rule out shipping but the 2,500 price currently DOES NOT INCLUDEshipping.

Prefered method of payment is via PayPal as a gift. I pack things bombproof and if you dont believe me, ask the folks who have bought from me (Drenis, TNHNDYMAN, RTART, Maximillian, etc).

For pictures of the actual speakers (other gear isnt availible), see his listing below (which has a higher listing price for those speakers obviously).

If you want additional pictures let me know and I will get some. Any other questions let me know via PM

    In looking back I realized I should be a bit more clear. For sale is a pair (2 individual) P17B speakers.

    Dont have a membership there. Might have to join just to sell these, but doubt given I would have no posts or reputation there it would work well...

    Alright fella's this is a big move, my friend wants these to go.

    Price drop to 2k on them, shipping NOT included in this price, and local sale still very much preferred. I am willing to help with delivery of these within a reasonable distance of Indianapolis as well.

    I am looking into how much factory boxes and inserts would be since Indy houses their Corp headquarters I am hoping I can secure some boxes for cheap for shipping. If not these will be packaged professionally and insured for full MSRP with signature confirmation required.

    P.S. I also had a buddy of mine post these on the Klipsh site for me.

    Hi guys. How would this pair of speakers compare to any of our stuff. Better or worse than my LSI 9's, or my RTI A3's or any SDA-SRS. Just picking your collective brains. I know in the end it will be my old damaged ears making the decision.

    Michael: I wish I could answer you but I havent really spent lots of time with his speakers listening. I tend to not be a fan personally of horn tweeters, so I haven't really gone out of my way to spend time with the speakers.

    While waiting for others to weigh in, I would read the stereophile review linked in the first post as a good guideline, he talks quite a bit about some of the types of music it might not work so well with.

    Bump.

    Link to pictures now is here: http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/ele/3525008504.html

    Polkie price is still 2k on them, shipping not included, however there is some flexibility here in terms of pricing.

    Also my friend is willing to entertain a trade + cash for the following items independently or as a package: a decent HT AVR with HDMI, 5 channels or more with spec's along the lines of the Onkyo NR609, 3 or 5 channel setup in either the Monitor or RTi setup.

    If your kicking the tires here let me know and see if we can work something out.

    LOL. At times things like that can take awhile, or go through the cracks over there. But, there are only 2 moderators over there (I'm pretty sure). If you ever need assistance to get registered or anything, I can put you in contact with the forum administrator...

    Yeah I am not super worried. I was joining just to post the sale ad there if I even could since I know they would probably sell better there. I am not a huge Klipsh guy though I know quite a few..

    Who knows if I borrow these babies to hook up to the tube amp I just got they might be sold to me lol..... just kidding, my wife would kill me lol....

    I can tell you from first hand experience, those are something you WILL NOT FORGET anytime soon!
    KILLER SPEAKERS my friend!

    I listened to them last year with a Klipsch 12" sub, OMG!:eek:

    If I did not want to step up a notch or two, they would be on my short list.
    Just sayin!:cheesygrin:

    LOL, trust me I thought long and hard about buying em, but then paying for forumla wouldnt be possible, nor would paying for my funeral :razz:.

    As much as I hate to help let them go elsewhere, its not in the cards for me, and honestly I am more than happy enough to let them go given the awesome tube amp given to me and the music it will soon be making.

    Oh man. I have never tried to figure out (money wise) how I was going to buy a speaker!
    These had me doing some "figuring".:lol:

    I heard them with an Integra 140 watt amp (hell, I got better than that!:cheesygrin:)!

    Sweeeeeeet, very, very good speakers Dan (I spent about an hour with them)!

    Owned a pair if these about a year and loved them. Bought mine thinking later down the road I could buy the 37/38 or 39 towers and move these to surrounds. Never happened but when I get the funds this series will be my next speaker.

    GLWS.
