tvirt Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Pair of Black Forte II speakers for sale. Price reduced asking $550 sn 12656 & 12657. I have owned these since the early 90s. I bought them off my brother in law who bought them new. Remodeled the basement and am not using them anymore so that's why I'm selling them. I'm located in Greenfield IN and can be contacted at 317-225-3571. Edited November 22, 2017 by tvirt Added pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSoloRocker Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Those are nice! I wish I had the time for that road trip. Pics without the grill and of the posterior sides would be good. Good Luck, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 If you're selling these yourself this is the wrong section of the forum. You'll want to post in the main For Sale area. Alerts is to tip people off when you find a good deal on something and want to pass it along to others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a lot of people value consecutive serial numbers. That helps to determine if the veneer of both speakers match. Sometimes it goes to condition. If I see labels which are in pristine condition I generalize somewhat that the rest of the speaker is in good shape. Not always, but generally.

They are a few years old, but they are Forte II and will sound great. If they were a natural finish, then it would matter I agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I like to see pics of both speakers, front, sides, top, label. It helps me to get a good overall picture of the speakers' condition. Just kind of a standard set of pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I spouted off on a time period of 30 years before I seen that they are FII. They are Forte = they will sound great. A quick search of sold FII on the auction site has them selling between $600 and $700, which the OP's price is below; Black cabinets are the easiest to doll back up and these look great. OP, GLWYS. Forte II are some real special speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any problems, the time period was about right, we didn't have any solid numbers. Did I offend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Nope. Anyone sitting on the fence or someone wanting to upgrade from Heresy, KG or RF should be looking at these, IMHO. And if the OP hasn't AB to what else is out there for that money, then he will be missing what's special about the Forte. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
