Hi everyone,
I recently came in to a pair of beautiful Klipsch Klipschorns. Serial numbers note they were built in April 2000. They are oiled oak with black grilles. They are almost perfect, with just two small (smaller than thumbnail) dings to the veneers on the back corners. It took me several days to notice them.
Otherwise they are beautiful. The sound is terrific too - they are really bewitching. If they weren't so massive (far too big for anywhere in my small house) I would definitely keep them. In any case I've caught the bug for horns - is there any way to get even part of this beautiful sound in a smaller package?
In any case, these must go. I'm going to play them every night until they do and as long as my very-patient wife lets me park them in the middle of the living room.
I have a bunch of photos on my camera at home and I'll post a few here from my iPhone as well.
I am located in the DC metro area in Silver Spring MD. I won't ship these as they are absolutely massive and require lots of care in transport. I'll help you carry them out but they will take a pretty large vehicle - they are about 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide and deep.
I have these advertised on DC Craigslist for $3875. I may also put them on eBay but would love to work a sale with a fellow Polkie. Please contact me via PM if you are interested, know anyone who is interested, have questions, or would like to come out and take a look.
Thanks!

Only the 1st and last pictures show the horns and in different colors, may be lighting.
Good luck!

Sorry!
I think I have a few more pictures below. Otherwise I will update from home tonight with photos from my camera - having a hard time with the file management program...
Sorry!

Are these AK-3 crossovers?Main System- Scratch built 2A3 , Lightspeed preamp, Technics SP15/Graham/XV1s,Klipschorns w/ALK xovers/Trachorns, Speakercraft MT8(4), Sonos ZP90, Yamaha Aventage for surround
Office System- Adcom GTP500, Bedini 45/45,Lexicon RT-20,Enlightened Audio DAC, Polk SDA2.3TL, Northcreek Borealis -
Having been a Khorn owner since 1985 and almost selling my pair, I can tell you these sell anywhere between $2300-$2700 on the open market. Add about 10percent selling on Ebay (they get it back in paypal and final listing fees...)
I would post these over on the Klipsch forum as they will sell much quicker.Main System- Scratch built 2A3 , Lightspeed preamp, Technics SP15/Graham/XV1s,Klipschorns w/ALK xovers/Trachorns, Speakercraft MT8(4), Sonos ZP90, Yamaha Aventage for surround

They are a bit bigger than the Heresys!!
But you may not need a subwoofer with them so that could help....
