Kiplisch Speakers worth the upgrade?
I can get
Yahmaha 5660
All Klipsch
2 main= floor standing speakers sf-2
sub= sub ksw-12
center= center sc.1
2 surround= Surround ss.1
for $2000
IS this a good deal? I am going to get the Yahmah 5660 as my reciver for certain, with or without the speakers. So would the $1500 for the Kiplisch set be worth the upgrade?
I curently have
2main= floor standing Sony ss-mh600h
sub=Sony sa-wm40
center=JBL S=center 2
2 Surround= Boston VRS Micro

DVD Talk Legend
$289 for a pair of ss-1
$469 for a pair of sf-2
$179 for the sc-1
$349 for the ksw-12
so new they would have gone for- $1286 or so.
I guess the yamaha was $500 new

10% off at onecall.
I would not pay more than $1700 new and $1500 total used IMO.
as far as the speakers go. They would be better than your system now also IMO.
good luck.

I don't think it's a good deal; I rarely pay more than 50 - 60% of retail for used equipment. Assuming gcribbs' prices are correct, I would not pay over $700 for the speakers.
Look around; there are a lot of good used equipment dealers on the web that allow returns if not satisfied.
