It's kind of a big country. Where are you?

Like all things, time/money. The less your budget, the longer it will take. The greater the budget, the sooner it can happen. Anything is possible if you wait long enough. With your budget expect 1000 miles one way. Your central location will help. I think entry level is >$2K though. A $1500 pair will certainly require a substantial investment post purchase. I recommend searching for Lascala fixers to get you over until you locate something better. Belle will cost more due to their appearance. You will not loose any money on a Heritage Klipsch purchase you later decide to sell. Good luck on your quest.

High due to the large amount of local supply of HiFi flippers who regularly post obscene prices waiting and hoping to catch a big fish. Can't blame the mans son for not knowing any better when he looks at local online sales to get current value and finds the flippers page. It takes way to much education and convincing for me to bother with these clueless soles. Wish them the best.

Sold locally. Payment received. No longer FS. Sorry if you were someone who was actually unable to get them. I admit to having some difficulty getting them packed, up to my standards, for shipping under budget.

Local in-person pick-up only I'm break even @$335 cash I have 3 pairs of Chorus II's (walnut) myself. I am cheering for you to get them.

Professionally made. 1/4" tempered glass. Polished and beveled. Never were part of any DIY project. Shipped wrapped with painters tape, then bubble wrap, more cardboard, then Styrofoam lining, and air packs to fill all voids of the cardboard box. Unless the delivery driver plays football with it there will be no problems. Insurance will cover issues. No returns. PM me an email where to send the paypal invoice. Shipped 2 business days after payment received. USPS preferred.

$25 plus standard shipping cost.

Bump. Sort of forgot about these. Still here.

Due to the location only, if anyone was interested in a 3 channel set-up, I have a single Forte II in oiled oak that can be purchased as an add-on. Just throwing it out there. P.S. I have some nice glass tops that fit Chorus II also. Again, only posting here because this sale is local to my location and that the new owner of some very nice Chorus II's may want some extras. If @tidmack objects, I will happily remove this post. Either way, it is a great opportunity for someone.

Very rare to find these in the Madison,WI area in this condition FS. Be sure to let @Rivernuggets know about the sale too. GLWYS.

My movie collection actually takes up many hours of work and research. Here is what showed up this week . Each post represents one day. Spartacus (1960) in 4k steelbook

Updated pics. I stand corrected on the condition of the surrounds.

OK. Being more obvious now. Previously, after returning home and doing some research, I alone came up with "Judy's Stash" as a possibility. That has been ruled out. Running out of options for tracking. If there is a specific question that comes from a lead on this topic, the seller would be able to assist only on the extent of his memory of a transaction that occurred 20 years ago.

Seller stated his original pair were purchased from a dealer. The single in question here was sent from Klipsch directly. Where it originated from is in question.

I have the midrange driver/diaphragm FS but no 701 horn. Did not find the horn currently on Ebay either. Several were listed as sold.

OK. I have time now. Here is the backstory. This bit of information was given to me by the owner "Bill" who I purchased these from today. By his own recollection Bill has owned this single speaker for approximately 20 years. Before then, he bought a new pair of Forte II's in Oiled Walnut from a local dealer. Later decided he wanted to add a center channel and looked into acquiring a single Forte II for that purpose. These had gone out of production and local dealer inventory by that time, and none were available for purchase. He contacted Klipsch directly and was transferred to someone in sales. This sales person was unsuccessful in finding a single Forte II in inventory to sell to Bill. The salesman did offer to call him back after doing some further investigation. The return phone call came with great news. A new Forte II was indeed unavailable, but there was one that could be bought in used condition. OK, here is where the story makes a hard left. According to Bill, the Klipsch salesman on the phone stated that very speaker was owned by the "owners widow". To which I said to Bill, "What? The owner of Klipsch? Like as in Paul Klipsch? As in Belle Klipsch? No, can not be, I said. Belle died many years before the Forte II was ever invented, but what about Fred and Judy Klipsch? So now I wonder if it is possible that this Forte II was part of the infamous "Judy's Stash?" Still makes no sense. Judy is no widow, so the story does not fit. Bill went on to tell me how the Forte II arrived in a cardboard box packed very well, but not an original box. Oiled Oak. Black grill. Not a match to his Oiled Walnut, but served its purpose until his recent move into a smaller home where he no longer had room for such a large center channel. So I bought it. It all works. The cabinet is not in all that great of condition, with many chips and scratches, missing the riser, but otherwise in fully functional condition. I have no provenance. I do have a receipt that includes a small note of the backstory. At this point it is just a story by an owner with a foggy memory.
