Another Klipsch find!!

So I get bored a little bit in early Thanksgiving and head over to the Unique Thrift over on NW 23rd and Meridian. I'd only been here once before, but luck usually plays out better when you only frequent them seldom (yes I understand that was oxymoronic).

I walk in and see nothing, there's some old PS1s that don't have analog outputs soldered on (something I'd been looking for, for about a year now). I walk up and down the electronics aisles. There are old DVD players, about five tape players, and other useless junk. My eye did notice a medium sized USPS shipping carton that was open, but I had no idea what was in it. I pick it up off the top shelf and peer inside. My, a pair of Klipsch Quintet II's. I pull them each out, pull off the grilles (which are in great condition). Their wax pen markings say "5pc set 39.96". Wait a minute, a $499 set of speakers for 90% off? Sold. I'm not even checking them out any more than this. I walk to the front and pay for them. The kind lady behind the counter tries to see if they're classified as "furniture" to get me 50% off. Shoot I don't care, but 50% is even better. No go on that, but I get them anyways. She mentions someone else came in the previous night and eyed them but thought it was too expensive. Idiot.

I take them home and hook each one up individually. All of them work. The stands are floppy, but a quick twist of a small hex wrench solves that. After that they were put back in that USPS box for four months until I traded them for an EIKI projector and extra bulb. The projector alone is about $500, and the bulb about $300. Not a bad trade I tell you what.

No use for them so they were flipped.
