Mr. Bissness 46 Posted November 29, 2020 Nice pair of “homemade” oak risers that fit the forte..... “Free” just pay shipping from Chattanooga. I tried to make them work with a pair of walnut but found the proper set. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpicKlipschFan 423 Posted November 30, 2020 are these original risers? the solid bottom board & black routed band doesnt look like any forte/chorus risers ive owned or seen before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bissness 46 Posted November 30, 2020 I think you might be correct the router edge is different when I look at my walnut risers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bissness 46 Posted November 30, 2020 Yep they look homemade. Here’s behind the bottom panel ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madman1 116 Posted November 30, 2020 Probably better built than the mdf that came on mine. 🤨 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bissness 46 Posted December 1, 2020 The oak veneer is on both sides. I bet it was a cabinet or bookshelf at one time. These are more solid than the walnut ones currently used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
314carpenter 695 Posted December 6, 2020 What's with that extra plywood cap with old paint and janky 1/2" plywood screwed to the inside? Couldn't afford the extra expense of new wood and some extra hardware? What a deal. I have some solid oak scrap wood around here in better shape anyone could have for far less than a hundred dollar bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

314carpenter 695 Posted December 6, 2020 These are not original Klipsch parts, or even good reproductions. These are scraps of wood. The asking price clearly does not commensurate the sale item or quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyH000 6149 Posted December 6, 2020 GLWS , am I correct that Both risers have a different wood grain - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One was sanded and walnut stain applied. Ok so here’s the deal now. If some one wants em just pay shipping. So sorry to offend Captain Wood Worker with less than cabinet grade speakers risers that sit on the floor beneath the speaker. These were sold with a pair or Forte ii I purchased from another forum member in Chicago. I can’t comment on origins or build quality other than they hold a forte 3 5/8” off the floor. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stand by my question and subjective comment. so its ok for you to bash a members for sale thread, but when someone questions your pricing on your for sale thread you get all bent out of shape & tell them they are causing "controversy" & to remove their comments??? gotcha!

It is now ok for anyone to question and comment. Not just me. Anyone. You too. No one is special here. We learned all about this prior to this thread creation. I did not and will not bash any thread. I feel like YOU are trying to bully me. That is not OK. STOP. This is the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
