4 uploaded photos

Overview

These are classic 'Synergy Series' tower speakers, representing the bridge between traditional high-fidelity audio and the home theater boom of the late 1990s.

Story

In 1997, Klipsch launched the KSF (Klipsch Synergy Floorstanding) line to bring their legendary theater-quality sound into the average American living room.

Maker / Origin

Paul W. Klipsch was a true eccentric and an engineering genius who famously wore a 'Bullshit' button behind his lapel to protest marketing fluff in the audio industry.

Condition & Value

The photos show some cosmetic wear, including a visible chip on the top rear corner of one cabinet and some scuffing on the grilles. The KSF 8.5 is a well-regarded 'workhorse' model.
