Samac Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hello, Klipsch Community, For your consideration is a pair of WO Klipsch forte. I am the original owner. I purchased them in '88. They are original, no mods. They are consecutive serial #s. They include an extra set of factory K-75-K tweeter horn assemblies (horn, diaphram, magnet) purchased new from Klipsch. Also a set of factory K-53-K Phenolic midrange drivers also purchased new from Klipsch. When I purchased the K-75 tweeter assemblies I installed one of the diaphrams into one of the forte's at the time because it had intermitent distortion. In hindsight it may have been a loose connection on the tweeter. Anyway, when I noticed the distortion I purchsed the tweeter and mid diaphrams in case any problems would occcur in the future. I have the original receipt of purchase and the original manuals. At this time I am only listing my forte's here. I hope a member in good standing in this community might want them or know of someone who would. These are for local pick-up or delivery within a reasonable distance of NE Ohio (Akron/Medina area). $650 OBO. Thanks for viewing my ad and for your time. Cheers, Scott 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonder Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi Scott, I live in the western part of the state around Findlay and your ad caught my eye. Is there a chance that an audition could be arranged? It's a little over two hours to Medina from my residence, however I don't know exactly when I will be able to shake loose at present with the holidays looming. Regardless, I wish you luck in selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockanroller Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hello again. I was wondering if the speakers are still available? Thoughts? Thank you kindly. Fred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samac Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Hello again. I was wondering if the speakers are still available? Thoughts? Thank you kindly. Fred. Hey, Fred, They are available. I can't accommodate an audition at my residence at this time. Send me a PM with your number and where you're located. If we can work things out I could bring them to your place and you can hear them before making a final decision.

Regardless, I wish you luck in selling them. Hey, sonder, The forte's are still available. I can make the same offer I made to Fred (letting you hear them at your place). If you're interested send me a PM with your number and we can talk. I have family in Findlay. I noticed you're a Marillion fan. Misplaced Childhood has been in constant rotation for the past 30 years. Saw the boys three times in the '80s. Thanks for the kind wishes.

Samac Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hello, all. For your consideration; the forte' Cheers, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 You have all the brochures, and took a picture of the original invoice from 1988? Wow! The price is reasonable to begin with, but value added tweeter assembly and mid driver means some of that sale price can be recovered. This is a no-brainer for a buyer. You are a meticulous record keeper. GLWYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samac Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Thank you, wvu80. Yeah, for some reason with my stereo stuff and my bicycles I tend to keep brochures, receipts and boxes. Although I don't remember what happen to the original boxes for the fortes'. I believe I left the boxes at the dealer and put one speaker in my car and since the sales guys lived near me he put one in his car and delivered it for me.
