The craigslist ad says Forte II, but they are a Forte I pair. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/ele/d/bethesda-klipsch-forte-ii-speakers/7525974219.html

Very nice! Very inspiring as well. My La Scala beaters are still beaters. I've done all kinds of things to the guts, and they sound golden. This motivates me to make a move on the exterior.

Sounds right. It's similar to the live audio world. When these digital mixers hit the market, the word from the manufacturers was that they were 'better'. They actually degraded the sound, and many drummers have thrown their sticks at the sound man that tried to prove otherwise.

In guitar amp world, this means you have used the wrong fuse, which lets several things fry.

Play this at low volume while you sleep. I actually connect it to a rodin coil for vibrations only. It's more powerful than melatonin as far as sleep goes, but your dreams will amuse you.

I've only had relatively brief encounters with loudness. I played guitar in several bands over the years. Still do. At 60, and relatively new to horn speakers and tube amps, I recently started sleeping with ear plugs. Every little sound bugs me. Apparently I'm hearing more.

They're back at a lower price. I really wish I had space for these. They would be soooo mine. https://www.facebook.com/groups/904208026352351/permalink/5016424368464009/?sale_post_id=5016424368464009

Definitely a scam. The 'seller' has posted the ad several times.

The seller feedback is 2. Looks scammy.

My AA experiments revealed the same. Materials do make a sonic difference. I'm relatively new to the tube amp/horn speaker scenario, so I take every tweak I can get since I have no treble, mid, bass, presence, gain... or all those nice eq tricks I had in my solid state days.

Used prices are definitely coming down. I bought really nice Heresys in July 2021 for $450. These need a little work by most standards.

Not mine, but maybe a good deal for one of you. https://delaware.craigslist.org/ele/d/dover-klipsch-heresy-br/7515532022.html

No. Just one of many ads I run across.

I haven't plugged it in yet, but I just got the Quicksilver line stage preamp: http://quicksilveraudio.com/products/rc-line-stage-preamp/

Very nice mods. Of course, the ultimate mod would be a new pair of Forte IVs.

Nice neighbors are great. I play guitar, sometimes a little louder than I think. The only complaint was from the couple across from me. "You didn't tell us where your last gig was. That would have been our date night."

My vintage La Scalas are in my small carpeted living room. They have a number of mods, but they sound better with 2 inch planks in the front, plus big round rubber washing machine feet under the planks. It works for very low level listening with tube amps. Not doing much loud listening in my apartment.

Chorus II is a good choice. I had a hot rodded Heresy pair and a Chorus II pair, also hot rodded. Bigger is definitely better in this instance.

Those Crites risers are really nice. They actually tighten up the bass, which is probably why modern Klipsch speakers have the same type of risers.
