stabone Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Pair of Klipsch Fortes for sale in excellent condition, like new. The two Forte speakers look great and sound amazing. I am only selling them because we are moving and downsizing. They are located in my home in Montclair, Virginia 22025. First $500 takes them away. They are hooked up so you can listen to them before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabone Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 I listened to my Fortes this afternoon, and they still sound amazing. I also noticed on the Klipsch website that the Forte IIIs are selling for $1,799 each! Therefore, I am no longer selling mine for $500, which would have been giving them away. I will find a place for them in our smaller home!. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirachi Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 $500 is a pretty average price for those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have been selling 1's and 2's for $750 to $825 in very nice shape , recapped crossovers and most of the time with Crites Titanium tweeter diaphragms plus they have been gone through and thoroughly checked for any problems. Yours are worth $600 untouched in the Nashville Tn market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2K Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I don't usually comment on other members FS items when I have no interest in buying stabone. But your Forte's appear to be in pristine condition and have consecutive serial numbers, which more or less insures a matching veneer grain pattern. The only drawback for me would be that they are Oak finish. Walnut would probably be more popular but shouldn't affect price too much. If I were you I would jack your price up to around $900 and let them soak for a while. You can always accept less later. Good luck and welcome here.

Folks that compare vintage model Klipsch prices to new model Klipsch prices are making a mistake in doing so. Your nice Forte's are a bit underpriced, but not by much, just depends on your motivations and desire to sell them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzydog Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 There is also a big difference in the design of Forte I, II, and III. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Don't sell unless you really have to, like to pay for medical bills or the irs because they are about to take your house away (tyrannical government). You already know how good they sound, and you will never replace them for the money you will get for them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 They are really nice. I would keep them if you like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thompson Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I personally like the Forte 1’s with upgrades the best . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
