richieb Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Sold mine for much less in pretty fair shape but going rate? Going rate is what the market bears and like most products the market will eventually set the price — Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTO Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 I would assume this would be an appropriate place to find out the current market trends on such a commodity. 14 minutes ago, richieb said: Sold mine for much less in pretty fair shape but going rate?

geoff. Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I sold an oak pair in mint condition for $700 two years ago. They were gone within a week of posting them and the buyer was thrilled to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhound Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Everybody has a price, I would not go above 400 for a set. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found them to be over rated and one set was enough for me and I have passed them all up since then. If I were still looking for speakers to restore these would not be one of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two pair in the basement media room only getting use as surrounds. Plenty good for that but if people were actually buying at $700 I’d sell them in a minute! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is for sure prices on used Klipsch seem to go up every month and get harder to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFL Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The seller was shooting for the moon at $1500! Now lowered it but i think that is overpriced. I just sold a nice set of Forte II for $800. and that took a bit of time to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I just offered him 250 form. I will lowball them for you so you can try to get them at a lower price. But one thing is is he has all the literature and packing material in the Klipsch boxes that they came in. That does add some value to them, but me personally I wouldn’t pay more than 500 to 550Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman1 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I wasn’t much of a fan of quartets either, but some people desire the smaller foot print. If a couple inches isn’t issue without question Forte’s are the way to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvs1670 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I'd pass for that price, had a couple pairs and wasn't all that impressed. Now for around 300 I think you'd be happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 On a related topic, I also sold a pair of Forte 2s for a grand two years ago. REALLY thought they were over-rated once I got a pair of Chorus 2s. Yet this summer I could not give away my Chorus 2s for $1200 before I moved. I’m pretty happy about that though, they blow the grilles off the Fortes and I have room for them in my new house. People are funny. They will spend a lot for a little, but little for more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is funny that way. When you are looking for something few are to be found and pricey. When you don't want them cheap and plentiful. Chorus rules the roost over Fortes and Cornwalls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me there's a pretty big performance gap between the quartet and forte, much more significant than the size difference imo. If you're looking for a smaller size the klf line or even some of the kg line are better options 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Everytime without fail, someone mentions a Klipsch speaker being rare, I start looking at the internet. Low and behold, they continue to come out of the woodwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The Quartet was the only pair from the Heritage / Extended Heritage that I didn't have, so I bought / traded for a pair late last year. I think the three step proportionately, and is room size dependent. I don't expect the Quartet to hang with the Forte and the Forte needs to stay on the porch if the Chorus are ready to sing. (EDIT>> $700 is Forte II in great condition pricing. It wasn't long ago that one could buy Chorus for that price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
