Moderators dtel Posted May 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2012 I would say yes if everything is working and there not beat up. We paid if I remember correctly $550 or $525 for one pair and $475 for another, both were in ok shape, not great but not bad either. And this was a few years ago.

ChipByrd Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 FWIW, I just returned home with pair that are in very good shape. Great grills, a couple dings, but quite beautiful. And they sound great. I will post pictures later. Anyway, paid $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwander Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Where are you located? My wife is after me to sell my Forte II's since I bought a pair of Cornwall II's. I'm dragging my feet on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The economy is wacked these days so you will get all levels of prices for forte's/forte II's. I would put the range at $375.00 to $550.00 based on condition and eagerness to sell. I will say this, with forte's/forte II's, the performance you get far exceeds the top end of the $$$ range. I would also pay upwards of $600.00 for forte's/forte II's if they were the right ones at the right time. They are that good. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwander Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Wish I could use that excuse. They are my second pair of CW's. One pair for fronts, one pair for rears and heresy for center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge_S Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks for replies everyone. I am located in the suburbs of Buffalo. There are currently 3 listings for Heritage speakers and I am torn: http://buffalo.craigslist.org/ele/3013539009.html http://buffalo.craigslist.org/ele/3016621535.html http://buffalo.craigslist.org/ele/2992245223.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge_S Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 iwander I am located in the suburbs of Buffalo. I am deciding whether to go w/HIII, stretch to CIII or LS, or get those Forte's. And also can't get Danley's out of my head. Too many choices. Are yours in good condition? I posted links of what's on Craigs from Heritage line in Buffalo in my other post. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwander Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 wayfarer, I'm in California. I'm afraid we're too far apart. I was looking for a local pickup. Mine are Forte II's in walnut. There are some marks on top that the previous owner tried to patch. I used them for rear surround speakers. I'm asking $450. I replaced the Fortes with a pair of Cornwalls. I now have CW's front and rear. I'm reluctant to sell them but it was the deal with my wife for getting the CW's. In looking at the CL listings, I would stick with the Forte II's. I like the Heresy III's alot but you'll need to add a pair of subs. If you have the space and budget, I would think about Chorus II's or Cornwalls. There are close in size and price. CW's are more common out west. Take your time. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
