Just giving you guys a heads up.  Unless there is one or two tucked away in the warehouse that no one knows about, I'll be auctioning the very last new Belle Klipsch starting tonight (one week auction, item # 150310956875).  It's mahogany, which I do not have a photo of, unfortunately.

Ah the last of the Klipsch southern Belles [:'(]

Hurry Folks!!  Still, IMHO, the best Heritage center of all time, when you factor in looks, overall sound, and the large surface platform for your video.

I guess I may have one of the last new-production Belles, a medium-oak one purchased September 2004 in Delaware for $2470.00.  It is serial # BK3MO1704340001. 

 There was a pair about two years ago sold as the last pair every to be made...maybe the pair left an egg behind.

Amy auctioned a pair on ebay about 2 years ago, thought at the time, to be the last pair.

I'll buy it if you can assure me it's serial number will be "The Official Last One"

No photo.  Darn.  A new Belle in Mahogany.  I bet that's stunning.  Is it too late to require the purchaser to send you a picture you can post?

and a hand signed photo of the klipsch staff holding a banner saying it's the last one?

What if there's not a Belle in the box.  Kind of crazy, but what if they had the box ready but never built the the speaker and filled it full of parts or something and it got taped shut years ago and pushed into a corner somewhere.... 

There is no picture.  Highly unlike of course but here is no picture.  Now it would be funny if someone like Coytee got a Belle box full of horns, woofers, or veneer scraps or something.  

Hello, Klipsch?  I bought this Belle from you on eBay and I open the box and it's got a few petrified chiclets, some scraps of veneer, and a stack of Acoustic Horn Design Monthly magazines....    um, where's my Belle ...

Bid high Coytee

(Amy, should Richard win, maybe you could send him a bogus box full of scrap parts or something along with the real thing and bribe the truck driver into making sure he gets the box o stuff before the real thing?  Of course Coytee will see this but maybe he'll forget until after he almost passes out.... )

I doubt it was the last one made, it just happens to be the last one still hanging around.   If I was in Hope, I'd walk around myself and look for any others, but from my limited view of looking in our system software, it is the last one.

I'll have everyone at the plant sign the box for you if you like.  They can even make you a brass plate for a small fee saying "I bought the last one" to tack onto the back.

I can always ask!

Ooh, what if it's random stuff from the Museum?  Maybe that electroshock therapy machine from the basement...

Also, if it was pushed into a corner somewhere,  that would be a Khorn, not a Belle.
