    Forte III Shipping & Weight

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    I'm checking with a freight forwarder to get a pair of Forte IIIs delivered to me in Japan.  Can anyone confirm what I found for shipping info:

     

    Package Dimensions    39 x 19.5 x 15.5 inches
    Item Weight    70 pounds
    Shipping Weight    70 pounds

     

    To  buy the pair in Japan is around $9200.  If these dimensions and weight are correct, I can get them delivered for around $950 including customs and tax.

     

    Thanks,

    Sad that the military Exchange system USED to sell Klipsch and you could get what you wanted. I bought two pair from them (unaware that sequential serial numbers made a difference in looks only and the employees didn't know or care). Where in Japan?

     

    Hi Mike, yes I remember the great days of the stereo shops on the military bases.  The selection was huge!  That's where I first met Klipsch speakers.  Now they have nothing but TVs on display, and very limited audio equipment.  I'm located in Okinawa.

    Need Forte III delivered to Japan, or possible bought here.

     

    I'm a retired US military living here in Japan.  I have for long time wanted a nice set of Klipsch speakers, going back to the 70s when I first seen and listen to them.  I do have a home theater setup with dual subs PSA S1500s and a custom made LCR set of speakers, plus in-ceiling speakers for atmos.  Having said all this I really want a dedicated 2-channel system.  My preference is the new Forte iii in the dark walnut.

     

    Can someone help explain what my options are to get a set delivered?  I know the shipping will be costly, but I still want them and willing to eat the cost.  I know they would have to go by freight, and probable would need to be palletized and placed inside a wooden box.  I have sent an inquiry to Klipsch, and am waiting on a response.

     

    Thanks & SemperFi,
