I hope my post total doesn't upset anyone. I have quietly been influenced enough by this forum to now own Forte II, Cornwall and Belle speakers.
The Belles are for sale. They are black walnut oil finish, #17 grills, consecutive serial numbers 101295055 and 6 with ALK Universal Crossovers build by Al. They make a great sound difference.
I was told they were made in 1992. Of course there are some very small indentations and marks, not noticeable. Upon an inspection just now, there is a more noticeable chip at the bottom of the back of the speaker. They sound and look great.
The price is $1,900, which is less than I have in them. That will go up to $2,000 if I have to go to Audiogon. Pick up only in Bowling Green, KY (42103), which is 60 miles north of Nashville on I-65.
Thanks for taking a look.
