modern pair of floor speakers with veneer. They sound amazing!The veneer has some minor stains (as shown) and light scratches. The veneer trim has been replaced and whoever did that did not do the best job. My very reasonable price reflects the imperfections mentioned. I’m happy to work with any freight forwarding or shipping company at buyers expense. I live in Savannah and pick up is welcome.Weight is 125lbs each36” tall, 30” wide, 19” deep
It's a seller's market for vintage Klipsch horns like the Belle—desirable wood-veneer pairs from the '80s don't linger long, with strong demand outpacing supply. At USD 2,700, this asking price sits ambitious above the typical used range for comparable listings, where the median lands at USD 536 (25th percentile USD 195, 75th USD 1,428 based on 71 recent sales). Unless it's pristine with original boxes or rare upgrades, you'd be paying a premium—hunt for motivated sellers closer to USD 1,000-1,500 for fair value.
Before biting, verify the cabinets for delamination or foam rot around the bass ports, common on '84 models from heat cycling; test the K-55-V mids and tweeters for crackle or voice coil rub. Confirm original crossovers are intact (no recap mods) and grilles/corners match walnut finish—ask for impedance sweeps to rule out reconed drivers.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1946 in Hope, Arkansas, Klipsch traces its roots to Paul W. Klipsch, a visionary audio engineer and maverick who handcrafted his first speakers in a tin shed behind a dry cleaner. Patented in 1945, the revolutionary Klipschorn corner horn loudspeaker embodied his quest for live-like sound reproduction, drawing from Bell Labs principles to deliver wide frequency range and expansive soundstaging. This American pioneer shook hi-fi foundations, blending acoustic innovation with unyielding craftsmanship, and registered Klipsch & Associates to bring that tin-shed magic to the world.
Klipsch excels in loudspeakers, from flagship horn-loaded models like the enduring Klipschorn to high-fidelity enclosures, drivers, and complete systems for home audio, public address, and even personal computers. While deeply rooted in speakers, the brand has expanded into headphones and music systems, maintaining a focus on efficient, dynamic designs that prioritize clarity and power without excess amplification needs.
Renowned for its heritage-driven efficiency and bold, live-performance sonics, Klipsch holds a commanding mid-to-high-end position in the market, appealing to discerning buyers who value American-made authenticity over mass-market compromise. Neither purely vintage collector bait nor niche boutique, it bridges classic horn technology with modern reliability, earning cult status among audiophiles chasing that bigger, clearer sound Paul Klipsch first chased in 1946.
