bev Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hey y'all! First & foremost...I've been dealing with only intermittent internet access, so I haven't been able to be around as much as I'd like...I miss y'all!! Second...I'm looking for an Academy...any finish... (Kev, I HATE I missed yours...) I'm finally to a point where I can upgrade my center...and I can't think of anything else to use with my Chorus II and Forte II's... oh, I thought about another Forte II as a center, but it just won't work with my room... anyway...keep me in mind if you decide to part with one, or run across one... Thanks! Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi Bev, I also have Chorus II's for my mains and have had it with a KTCLR THX center for several years and am also upgrading. Have you considered a Quartet? it's in the same family as the Forte' II and Chorus II, exact same midrange driver for all 3 in fact (K-61-K). I would have liked a Quartet but, it's been hard to find them so, I just decided on a new Heresy II. I think it will be a much closer match to the Chorus II than my KTCLR and even the Academy for that matter. Good luck in your search. ~Tom~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 can you use a La Scala? tigerwoodKhorns Crazy Poster has one for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 Jeez...I dont have room for a La ::pout:: I know I passed on a bunch of Academys on eBay, and now - none to be found! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev313 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Bev, Check audiogon occasionally. They have been turning up fairly regularly lately. kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luchenbach Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I've got two of them, the salesman told me that two center channel speakers are better than one, to put one above the TV, and one below the TV, boy was he wrong. So I've had one in the closet for about the past eight years. I've been meaning to put it on ebay, just been a little too lazy. The academy's are nice speakers, and I wouldn't trade the one that I'm using with my Forte's for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Just my opinion, but I think Bev should have first dibs, since this is her thread... fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 Thanks!!!! Of course, I'd have to agree!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Well...guess dibs doesn't matter... Luchenbach has decided not to sell to the forum. Guess we'll keep our eyes peeled on eBay... ::sigh:: back to the search! Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papertester Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Bev Check out this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3021076512&category=14992 could this be lunchenbachs'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 hey Bev- I'll help take up the watch...Good luck! The IN-availability of the academy speaker was one of the reasons I went with the reference series clu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I imagine the value on this will be depressed, seeing as it was left out in the snow and all... dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hey Guys... Thanks for alerting me! I don't know if this is luchenbach's...but dude's selling some Forte II's too... DD: lmao! maybe we can talk him down...a distress sale! (MY distress!) I'll keep an eye on this one...and it's black like I want too!

Klipschfoot Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Well, Bev, another one that got away. I hope the guy who offered $3oo was the same as the high bidder of $152. If not, high bidder gets it for $152 since bids were not cancelled. Could be interesting. I also wonder if eBay will want their cut of $300, not $152 since seller revealed the actual selling price.

Frzninvt Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 You could actually turn him into eBay as he did not follow correct procedure, he nowhere stated in the auction text that he reserved the right to end the auction early. In addition as you previously stated he sold it for $300 but the bid posted was only $152 eBay would surely have a problem with that. Sometimes underhanded dealings like that can tick one off for sure. Had he let the auction run its course he would probably had gotten more for it. Someone made him an offer and he ran with it. He could still be reprimanded by eBay by the way he handled it. Someone got a decent deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev Posted April 29, 2003 Author Share Posted April 29, 2003 Well...if it's any consolation, I think a fellow forum Klipschite got the eBay academy...and I'm glad he got a good deal, however, I couldn't resist emailing the seller and telling him I would've paid more than $300!! I don't know if it would be worth turning him in...jeez, don't want sour grapes... K-foot, looks like our search continues! Luchenbach...where are you? we still want yours!!!!

Frzninvt Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I am glad a fellow forum member got it! I think $300 is fair, I think they normally sell on eBay for much more than they are worth. However, it is the supply and demand thing. I say good for him! He negotiated a good deal at a fair price. The seller should have still followed correct procedure by cancelling all bids and posted that the unit was no longer available for sale though. It is in no way the bidder's fault.
