Just purchased a pair of KLH model seventeen speakers, walnut veneer, in absolutely perfect condition, aside from needing veneer oil, and a loose nameplate.

These things sound wonderful.

What is going on when I can get a 30 yr old set of near top shelf speakers for $12.50 the pair (that someone else threw out), and they sound better than anything offered at the local "hi-fi" joint?

to date:

Celestion Ditton 130 $10.00 pr. one needs a tweeter.
Large Advent $25.00 pr, $32.50 for new foam
KLH 15 (dual 6")(rare)$ 6.00 pr
KLH 17 $12.50 pr
Infinity 6A (emit teet)$25.00 pr, $32.50 for foam
Heggman H-1a (any one else know this one?) $50.00 pr., new tweets $40.00

Altec 604C pair in homemade cabs, free (since traded for other gear)
Altec 800H crossovers, $10.00 pr (sold on ebay for $135/pr)


Haunt the thrift stores, guys.

Lots of this "outdated" stuff still are the best sounding.
Some of these 30-40 yr old gems put the new junk to shame.

I need an addition to store all these...

Larry
