Rivernuggets Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 bummer he never called me back Yes, a true bummer. CL is a nitpicky thing. You never know when you'll be stood up, never called again, usurped by another buyer. You never know. [:S] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opusk2k9 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yes, a true bummer. CL is a nitpicky thing. You never know when you'll be stood up, never called again, usurped by another buyer. You never know. I have been usurped several times. However, I have also gotten a lot of good deals from CL and driven a lot of miles. I have plenty of speakers, but I would have liked to compare the Forte II with my Forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Forte II used to be oil laquer, spray painted black. Im picking them up in about an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Congrats! Wonder if that spray paint job is a good one or, will come off with something without disturbing laquer. Heckuva score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I picked them up today. Nice people just in their hurry they loaded them face up and puynched the passives out.Kinda of interesting. they made bases for the fortes almost the same size as the forte itself so the stand almost 5 feet tall. They did a nice job with the paint job. just a couple spots need touch up. I'll post a couple pics when I get home Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS121996 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hoked them up last night, one of the tweeters is out and as I said they punched the passives out when they loaded them. My fault, I told them I would take care of it and they were just helping out. I kind of like the add on cabinets, It sets the bottom of the speaker just at the top of the couch. Quartets are in the pic next to the new Forte II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
