  1. Hello,

    I ve found a pair of Chorus II on ebay with starting bid at 495 usd !! only 5 days last

    for sure they would need a few repairing / improvement but if you ve got the materials and catch them for 500$

    Could be a good opportunity

    Me I am still living in Cambodia so shipping cost

    plus shipping one by one any material needed may not be a so good operation

    Good luck for the handy guys

     

  2. Hello Fizik,

     

    Do you still have the original/appropriate boxes and packaging set for these Quartet ?

    If yes, would you consider to ship them internationally ?

     

    To make it short :

    I am living in Cambodia, I therefore need good technical condition as no repair is possible,

    I don't mind so much on small cosmetics, I was more looking for Forte

    (seems to be the best ones according my sound tastes, and current budget ...)

    but Quartet are fine and not far from Forte, only the strong little brother,

    and should be on top easier and less expensive to ship ...

     

    Let me know your feeling on this, cheers.

  3. Some more information for those living in South East Asia

    Official Klipsch dealer in Bangkok - Thailand

    (the closest to me)

    R-15PM two powered speakers 50wpc plus R-10SW powered sub-woofer : 1,000 US$ (If I give up I will go for this ... money capability ...)

    Cornwall III new : 7,500 US$

    Heresy III new : 3,100 US$

    Plus shipping costs (not so much as it is ''only'' 1,000km)

     

    These information maybe make it more clear

    why I try so hard to buy used Klipsch speakers heritage series

    in USA and try to ship them to Cambodia ...

  5. For those who share kind of same situation ''isolated area''

    and maybe for me if I didn't succeed in getting some vintage speakers,

    the alternative, as proposed by pbphoto, light weight sound system,

    even I have some doubt on the equivalent sound ''presence'' as I am looking for some Forte II,

    to catch the same range of low and high with still half of the power but you get an integrated amp in addition,

    as R-15PM two powered speakers 50wpc plus R-10SW powered sub-woofer

    (as total on paper : range bandwidth : 34hz to 20khz (as the forte ii) )

    Cost in Klipsch official dealer at Bangkok Thailand around 900$ US, plus in my case around 150$ US shipping

    Hope this could be useful for some South East Asian which are looking for Klipsch sound system setup


     

  6. Hello,

    Klipsch speakers pack  in Canada : 2 Forte II + 2 Quartet + 1 KLF C-7 = around 1150 USD !!!!

    http://www.kijiji.ca/v-speakers/markham-york-region/klipsch-forte-ii-quartet-and-klf-c-7/1198178476

    I am a bit far from these, goods are in Canada and I am in Cambodia, a lot too much stuff to ship,

    otherwise I would have gone there to buy the pack  straight away ...

    If good condition what a deal !!

    Enjoy for the ones who can reach the goods ;-)

  7. Hello and Thanks for the advice

    Indeed you re right, but I mainly have the choice between

     

    option 1 to risk a small 1,000 usd for forte II ground postal shipping

    (knowing that cosmetic things don't affect me so much, I am more worried about the technical working part)

    option 2 I can warranty my used forte II buying shipping with Fedex ++ or equivalent services for a total of +3,000 usd

    (that currently I don't have by the way)

     

    So I will not say that what I am trying to do is good, neither the best option, and far away to be an example to follow, but,

    it is just for me, at that time, according many parameters, the way I could / will try,

    while keeping my fingers crossed ;-)

     

  8. I wish I could be there ... if it is real deal and according the pictures

    for the same amount of money I would hardly be able to buy 2 forte and ship them (traditional postal service ..) to Cambodia where I live ....

    Lucky the one who will catch this opportunity

    4 chorus II at the four corner of a big living, all plugged on one or two Mcintosh tubes amp or similar .... kind of dream ...

    Enjoy

  9. Hello, just to keep you inform on the progress of the quest ...

    I am now looking for Klipsch speakers Forte II at a good price ;-), international shipping still mandatory ;-)

    (I unfortunately missed a pair of these on Audiogon, mint condition, with all possible bob critess upgrades, 645 US$, but didnt know if the seller were ready to send these to Cambodia ... no time to ask him before they were sold ...)

    I will find , I will find .... speakers first then we will see .....

    Cheers

  11. Many thanks

     

    to mustangerfourlife and mattSER for the inputs, it comforts me with the idea to go for Forte (Chorus II will be too expensive for me currently)

    its seems a good compromise price quality versatility and still heritage Klipsch long lasting speakers

    I will let you know how the story goes, and maybe if I can't catch some Forte I will ask mustangerfourlife if he can make a good offer for its Chorus II ;-)

    Bests
