sire Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I have been pondering looking for another set of Forte IIs to use as surrounds instead of my Rb-5 IIs. I found an add for "excellent condition" Black Chorus IIs close to my home for $400. I do have space limitations but I am thinking of Chorus for front speakers and move the Fortes to the rear. Good or bad idea? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Excellent idea. Excellent price. Run, do not walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheik Yerbouti Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I highly recommend you buy the Chorus speakers. You can sell the RB-5s and get most of the $400 back, if necessary. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Grab them. $400 is a steal for a good pair of Chorus 2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikekid Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I would buy those and I don't even need them for that price.... In good shape for $400, a BARGAIN! Take care Mike (The Yamaha/Hsu Underdog) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Heck, if you're near enough to me and they don't work out for you, I'd take them off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sire Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 The hurricane missed our area. So I am going tomorrow morning to look at the speakers. Owner bought a new large screen TV so he lost room for the speakers. He also says there are no gouges or dents but a few scratches. They are black instead of oak but it is hard not to take advantage of finding speakers in the local area. I do not have enough room myself but I might have to settle on a little smaller tv. Unless I go the plasma route and hang it on the wall. Guess I will make room in my vehicle in preparation for tomorrrow. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sire Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Well, in fact, it was too good to be true. My wife and I showed up at the sellers house this morning and he opened his garage and presented the speakers too me. Hmmm, they looked a little shorter than my Fortes, something was not right. I looked a little closer and of course, they were a set of Quartets. The seller of course was shocked and did not realize they were not Chorus IIs. They also were not consecutive S/Ns. I decide to pass up this "deal" Was a shame as it is rare to find speakers close to home. They are still available if anyone is looking for a set of black Quartets. I will wait, something will come along. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Offer him $250 and use them for surrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Mike- Yeah, offer him maybe $250 or so and then use those for surrounds. They would do very well and match up nice with your Forte mains (I or II?) But if you ever do find a set of Chorus IIs, then don't hesitate to get them for your mains. I did and it was one of the best things I did, and the Forte II is a great speaker. The Chorus II is just a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
