Serge_S Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I picked up a pair of Forte II's in good condition few days ago for $450 not far from where this seller is. Now I am wondering if Cornwalls would've been a better choice. What do you guys think? Is this too much? Looks like they are in pristine condition. http://rochester.craigslist.org/ele/3060553925.html This guy is also selling the original components:http://rochester.craigslist.org/ele/3061400968.html http://rochester.craigslist.org/ele/3060634869.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 IMO, the price is too high. I pay less than that for my near-perfect pair of Klipschorns. A few months ago, I paid $300 for a pair of Cornwalls in good cosmetic condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Just because someone else paid $300 for a pair of Cornwalls or $1,000 for Khorns doesn't mean anything. That said, $1,250 is way too high for 1980 CBRs with a nice shiny finish and no risers. For that kind of money they would have to be something special....exotic veneer, mint verticals, etc. Those should be in the $500-$700 range if you ask me.

tfoust Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I agree - hold out for a better buy than this. It won't be hard too find if you put forth an effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
