Honestly , it's a shame .
I had Genesis 210's that I traded for Genesis 44's that I traded for the Klipsch KG4's . Those were all transactions for new speakers back in the day . . The 210's I have now were an Ebay purchase with new parts bought from Humanspeakers to make them sing again .I have a love for the KG4s and the KG2s. The 2s in Oak were my 1st real set of good quality speakers. The set I got was mint as could be. Have owned a few sets. Some of Klipsch best!
Just let go of some Genesis 2s last week to a fellow AK member in my area. Great sounding set!

Let me get this straight. You moved out of your master bedroom so you could turn it into a listening room and office? Your wife went along with that?I'm talking audio here, people. By "closet," I mean any place in your home where unused equipment is just waiting to be put back in action. We moved into our present home here in 2008. For almost 10 years, I had a superior pair of restored AR9s (the big ones) sitting, boxed, in my heated/AC'd basement. Every time I went down there and saw them, I would hear them calling out, "Plug us in! Plug us in!"
I also had a pair of mint ADS L1530s functioning purely as decorative furniture, unconnected, in the corners of our TV room for many years. They were a bequest and I never got around to using them ...
... until this past October, when the bug bit me bad and my wife and I, at great physical strain to my back, dragged both the AR9s and the L1530s up to the master bedroom suite, which has become my office/music room. I moved the bedroom down the hall. I'm happy to say that all is well with them (but not my back) as I blast away while I work.
So, how about you? What great equipment do you have stashed away that's just aching to get back in your rotation?
Check that closet or basement. You may surprised what you find.
