Niterox Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I have a pair of Forte IIs I would like to sell. As far as I know, they are in good condition. They've been in the boxes for at least 20 years and haven't been used. They sounded great. If I recall, the speaker grills are a little rough. Price, I'm sure, would depend on how they look and whether they are in complete working order or not. I would prefer a local buyer. Shipping would be additional. If anyone might be interested in these, please let me know. I can unbox them and take some pictures, and hook them up for a test. http://assets.klipsch.com/product-specsheets/forte-II-brochure.pdf Edited January 27, 2018 by Niterox Changed my mind. I'm keeping them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusty_bottoms Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Want to trade for a nice pair of KG4s? I’ve never heard the Fortes but I’d like to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 There is a possibility I will be doing a short job in Boulder in January. If I do get this job I would be very interested in these. I will know more this coming week whether I am getting this job or not. PM me with more information if you don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endo Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I am interested. Price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niterox Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Okay. Finally got around to taking them out of the box. Feeling a little nostalgic. They look really good for 25-year old speakers! Here is a link to download all the pictures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1n1oFHf05CKXBigMvvE_lHklFH2fcLRHR?usp=sharing Going by the pictures there are a couple of small corner dings on the "right" speaker and some minor scratches on the top of the "left" one. One half of the top of the left one seems a little faded, but not bad. The grills are way better than I remembered. As far as price, there is not much to go on. There is a pair on Ebay with a BIN of $795. Would prefer a local buyer, but if someone wants to pay shipping we can do that.

Arrow#422 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 @Niterox Welcome to the forum. You have some interest here, so what is "your" asking price - or are you just fishing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like a fair price, but I don't want to gouge anyone, either. If I could get $650 for them that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niterox Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 I could add a Denon DRA-825RA to the speakers for another $150. Someone make me a reasonable offer for everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a similar awakening, recently, after decades of drinking nothing but slurry... One forgets what clean water tastes like. Drink deep. Thank you, PWK.
