mustang guy Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 His real email address is hidden though CL, but you can send to him with this: krcjq-6363674310@sale.craigslist.org His price went up to $575. @Jachko, you are gonna just need to keep looking. I'd widen my list some though. If you'd like Forte's you'd like Chorus and Cornwalls too. These 4.2's are good speakers at $150. I use them in my main HT and I don't have a single complaint: https://providence.craigslist.org/ele/d/set-of-two-klipsch-speakers/6335794100.html These say $400 OBO Forte II's: https://newlondon.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-forte-ii/6300603733.html These look nice: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Forte-Main-Stereo-Speakers/122778918700?epid=79639493&hash=item1c96319f2c:g:6fIAAOSwj9dZ2nJZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jachko Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 He has not changed the ad at all. It was always $575, but agreed to the $450 I offered him originally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Forte's are nice speakers but there seems to be quite a few out there on the used market Now that you are aware keep an eye out for a deal worth while, who knows maybe you'll run into some Choruses or KLF-30's for an even better price. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked good so I paid them, but both woofers were "shot" (overextended). Guess they like "their music" extremely loud. Better to pay an extra $50-100 to audition speakers Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jachko, Take your time to get some of these (great) speakers. I bought about six pair of Klipsch speakers during the last year ... "just had to get them" and found out later i paid way too much Patience will save you money AND get you much better speakers Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has a different woofer he said and so so shape. I thought about offering him something low like 300 maybe less but didn't bother lol. Some else try? He said he's not sure what brand woofer was used either lol. Sounds like he got hand me downs or something of that.. Also I own Forte ii and KG4.2, I use the KGs for music mainly and some TV in my room. While the Forte ii are for the same in my basement. The Forte ii are completely different animal. Much more liveliness and more natural sounding. But the KGs for that priced I'd say is a good deal. They are very good speakers. KGs have great bass response and good top end, but not as bright as the Fortes. The Fortes produce a much more live type of sound when compared to the KGs. Obviously they're not in the same category.. But I'd go with the Fortes for sure. KGs would be another solid alternative for main speakers no doubt.

Jachko Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 I picked up a pair of Forte I's for $450 this afternoon! They sound great. I am very impressed--loving them so far. Thanks to everyone who informed my decision. Have a great day, all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
