Shiva Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 For those who are in Arizona, a great price for a pair of Forte's, pick-up is desired. $300 bucks for the pair. http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649386774-vintage-klipsch-forte-speakers-in-walnut/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Seem to be a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rszoke Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hmmm - this price has me thinking - I could replace/sell my Heresy II's (HBRs unfinished) to move a little up the food chain, probably coming out a wash on the buy/sell amounts where I'd sell the H2's. I live in Chandler, adjacent to the seller - so an easy drive over for me. I would then be looking at a Bob Crites crossover rebuild on these Forte's - where these would go into my garage (I know, overkill). Any comments on why this wouldn't be a good idea or worthwhile for the price & provenance (supposedly original owner)? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

avguytx Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 It won't matter if you wait too long. Hopefully you've already called, bought them, and are listening to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rszoke Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Quick update - I contacted the seller and have a verbal commitment for meeting up next Thursday (due to both our travel schedules), hopefully will report back next with some new (well for me) Forte photo's! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rszoke Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Super excited on this - where the Forte's were well taken care - the seller is original owner purchasing back in 1985, he was downsizing and had these in storage. The wood cleaned up nicely, grills are perfect, consecutive numbers - just need to get/install a couple passive dust covers (owner said he mistakenly removed way back when). I will be firing them up with my oldie-but-goodie Kenwood KA-9100 amp tomorrow - looking forward to that. I'll be looking to post my Heresy IIs (HBR - never finished) shortly in Garage Sale (Phoenix). Thanks to Shiva for posting, worked out very well!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rszoke Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 By the way, the risers were attached - I just removed for cleaning/wood oiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
