The Heresy IIIs I recently bought were from an Ebay seller who advertised them as new with factory warranty although "open box." I actually called the guy (Nevada somewhere) and he said they were unopened but dinged boxes…free shipping so I figured I'd take the plunge for around 1500 bucks, and I wound up with a pair of "Capitol Edition" Ebony finished versions (I'd simply ordered black) that "list" for about $2500 (and they survived a corner ding on one box). Not consecutive numbers, but within' 10 numbers of each other and signed (!) by the same assembly person. They sound great by the way, and are a weird dark purple-ish hue. I like it. As of the last couple of days that seller still has them listed, in black, but no clue if you'd get the groovy "special" ones I have…as, clearly, I must be special.
Klipsch Speakers, Where Should I Look For The Best PRices
What is the best place to buy new or B stock Klipsch? I have a 5.1 setup now anchored by RF-82’s, RC-64, RS 52s and an RW12d. My thoughts are to move to 7.1 and maybe Atmos and moving the 82s to the rear and adding another amp to my Emotiva XPA-5. My Marantz pre-amp can handle up to 11.1. Speakers under consideration are Forte’s, Cornwall’s and RF-7s for the mains and Klipsch’s current 15 inch reference sub. The second amp would probably be a smaller Emotiva or an Outlaw. My music tastes are AC/DC and the like. I’m hard of hearing so efficient speakers are a must. What do you think?
