Finally, congrats!

$550 would be a lowball offer for the Chicago area. Pricing here is $650+ for a decent pair. At $550 for a decent walnut pair (and a short drive), I would likely grabbing my wallet, and I don't need any more. $1500 is much more than I would pay, but it only takes one of the right buyer...

Buy with confidence, @jimjimbo is a great person to deal with. A pair of these would complete the heritage and extended heritage collection... Heresy, Cornwall, La Scala. Belle, Khorn Quartet, Forte, Forte II. Forte III, Chorus (missing), and Chorus II.

Great deal. If I didn't have 2 pair already (and too much other gear as well)... GLWS, but it looks like @bkwa1959 is already on them.

Keep us posted on the comparison.

Looks like someone will get a less great deal.

Edit the first post and you can change the title to no longer for sale

Congrats to buyer and seller. Gorm should be very happy with this. I like my Little Ben Ampsandsound

@Emile said the guy is hard to deal with, so buyer beware.

He has a single La Scala for $650 and a pair of cherry CF-3 for $400 https://sarasota.craigslist.org/ele/d/single-klipsch-lascala/6868434303.html https://sarasota.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-cf-3/6868474814.html

Nice set the center and surrounds are getting harder to find. GLWS.

PM sent last night asking that too.

I like a post with a good sense of humor. I just got my CF-3 v1 fully working with the help of a forum member. They have some punch to them.

About time someone snagged these...

Looks like you got an excellent haul.

I think my record record was 13h each way.

Great deal on excellent speakers.

@314carpenter So are those walnut quartets along with the Chorus II?

@Rivernuggets

From ad: These are an excellent condition pair consecutive serial number Klipsch Chorus II speakers. The caps have been updated....The tweeter diaphragms have been changed over to Crites titanium. They come with glass tops I don't think you can find a better set... Price reflects condition....Price IS firm https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/ele/d/fox-river-grove-klipsch-chorus-ii/6879590065.html No Affiliation. They look very nice. If I didn't buy the walnut Chorus II from @jimjimbo , I might be in my car.

I prefer these: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2340151406265495/

Sorry, I plan to hold on to them. (they are worth more than that to me).

I have a pair of 60th Anniversary Khorns in my office, they are pretty.

The problem is not limited to tube amps. Lots of counterfeit parts for solid state components as well, especially the vintage Marantz and Sansui power transistors. Even the ones sold by reputable parts companies can be suspect. Sometimes, the only sure way is to buy an old amp and pull working components.
