i have been searching the web for available info on the palladium and have seen the price listed as 15,000  and 20,000

can anyone comment on what they paid when they purchased

or what they cost now !

thanks

paul

I am not aware of any forum members that own P-39s yet...I am sure there would be a massive thread about them if someone did.

When the release was first announced, the MSRP was $15k, but the raw cost of Neo and some of the other exotic materials being used went up, so the MSRP was raised to the $20k listed on the website:

At least that's my understanding of the price difference. There was a post by one of the Klipsch employees on the forum about it here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

"damonrpayne" up in Milwaukee, WI and curator of KlipschCorner owns the first pair built. He's got pics on his website and even hosted a Palladium listening party a while back:

thanks for the link and info.

i cant seem to get my mouse to work with the Kcorner site... it could be a problem on my end.

i can get way closer to a purchase of these beauties at 15K as opposed to 20 K....

i wonder if the price of materials/production/marketing/end sales , etc  - goes down , there will be a 5K price drop ????

              .......... naawwww. i doubt it.     

but i guess if marketing and product quality is creating demand greater than current wherewithall to produce price will be max.

I own the complete setup and paid ful retail for it.  $20K for the 39's.  Earlier they were listed at 15K, but there was a price increase just as they were released, to my understanding.  IMHO worth every penny!

palladiums

and

citrus....

no palladiums, but we have mennello tangello (2) , marsh white and ray ruby grapefruit, naval (unsure of specific) and sunburst hybrid tangerine, and 2 key limes. the tangellos and tangerine are hurting this year. lack of water and the heat has limited yield. the tangerine set blossoms seems like 3 distinct times , but because of weather each time they would loose most all blossoms or tiny fruit. and now i think the tree is stressed after blooming so many times and the continuing heat spell.recent rains and watering has helped but i wont see much product for this tree this year. i think some birds ate some of my grapefruit babies too.oh well.

home depot and lowes dont seem to get the one gallon  stock like i used to see in the 90's. but i did just pick up a root bound one gallon page orange at lowes last week for $9.xx .

.i can imagine my citrus problems are quite small compared to your operation.

do you have any links to pics/chat about your palladiums. thanks

regards paul

lol, my audio setup is far from anything super audio bliss....although my new house has a killer room that will be the start of what I hope to be a really awesome setup.

The P-39f smokes the RF-7 in every category....I can confidently say it's one of the best speakers in the world. I really like the RF-3 from a bang for the buck perspective, but you're gonna get a larger/fatter sound from the RF-7.
