fastlane Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Friend has a pair of Klisch for sale. Says the model is KF0019. Description sounds like Forte's, but he says this is what stiker on back says. Asking price is $400. They are 300 miles away. Can anyone tell me what these are, and are they worth the price and drive? Thanks, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I've seen Fortes sell for as little as $250. If they're Fortes, they better be in mint condition for $400! There is no KF0019 model by Klipsch, so I think your friend is reading the label wrong, or he's reading part of the serial number with its description, or something. Tell him to post clear pics of back labels and front of loudspeakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Sounds like they are Klipsch Fortes Oiled Oak. The '19' is probably the beginning of the serial number. Like was mentioned, see if you can get the guy to show some pictures of the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastlane Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 Thanks for your help. I'm waiting for pictures, then I'll decide. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev313 Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Fortes for $250. That would be a crazy good price. I paid $450 for my Forte I's and they are worth every penny. I like em better than Heresies or Forte II's. I think $400 is the avg. ebay price. Usually more on audiogon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 19 is the grill color (black) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Jon They are definetely worth $400 and the drive. When I was looking for Fortes on Ebay last year some went as high as $6-700. If you have not heard Fortes, they sound like Heresys, but with more bass. Very Very nice speakers. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
