tommy499 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Got them off E-Bay.....for under $400.00 Too bad seller didn't pack them properly. 3 out of the 4 front corners were smashed. The bases will also need some work. I offered to pay extra to have them professionally packed...he declined. Well, at least they sound great!!!! I guess it is still a good deal. I have a pair of Heresy II's arriving tomorrow. I hope UPS doesn't strike again!! Beware of E-Bay puchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy499 Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 UPDATE.....The seller has just offered me a $100.00 refund to make up for the damage. I guess that make this a hell of a deal!!! Forte II's for just under $300.00!! I guess I can live with the damaged corners...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2K Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Great speakers, plenty of bass. Enjoy them! Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Good score! I paid $450 for my Forte 1s, they were in great shape until the car they were in was hit by a drunk driver and the grill and edges of the speakers were damaged. I am listening to mine right now and I love them! Great speakers. They don't get the credit they deserve but we know how great they sound right?

stan krajewski Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Actually the Fortes are recognized for being a great speaker. Well, at least by the users. Check out the Fortes on Audioreview.com with 158 reviews with and an average rating of 4.92 out of a possible 5, its at the top of the list. I do put stock in things like Audioreview.com. Joe Schmo and gettin' his palms greased. Who knows who schmoozes who or who is comping who at Stereophile or Consumer reports, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstrachan Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Congrats on your purchase! Your shipping story makes me nervous though...I just landed a pair of "mint" Forte I's and they are on their way across the continent by UPS!! THe seller is a professional outfit that claim they pack well and do this all the time, but after hearing your story... Can't wait to hear these though!
