opusk2k9 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 These sound vary good . They look ruff. Klipsch Forte II go for 500 in good shape. With A little work these could look vary nice. thanks Rick 708-645-1237 http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/ele/4881717679.html No affiliation. I picked up a single original vertical 1969 cornwall II from him this morning. I say original Cornwall II, since there were two Cornwall II models (read Cornwall history : http://www.klipsch.c...ornwall-history) Really nice guy. He builds horn speakers and has a bunch of tube amps. Cool guy to talk to and learn from. The Forte are structurally sound, but cosmetically challenged.

derrickdj1 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Do these need the new diaphragms and new XO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I didn't listen to them. I have a spare tweeter diaphragm, but normally they are fine. I haven't recapped any of my older klipsch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd buy em and plug em in before thinking about replacing anything. A little refurb and they'd do just fine in a lot of rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) The guy said that they can be lightly sanded down and restained. One speaker has a small chip that wood filler could be used to fix it. He is near Orland Park. If you are interested Seth go for them. I told him I would call him around noon but, I think I will pass. Edited February 10, 2015 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
