AlexG Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hello, My first posting in this forum ! I have done a fair amount of reading in these forums, and there is lot of good information. I am looking for a pair of efficient speakers to complement my DIY tube gear. I have decided to go with the original Forte's! I need to know what is a fair price range to pay for a pair in "Very Good to Excellent" condition. I understand the latest retail price for them was around $1,100 if I am correct. Thanks in advance, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spschneer Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Another very newbie here...I just started posting yesterday... I just got a pair of Forte II's from an e-Bay auction. They are in excellent sonic shape and G++ to VG condition cosmetically. There is one scratch on one of the sides, and a partial watermark on one of the tops...Since most of my furniture is Cherry, I may re-veneer & refinish. I'm a listener not a collector Watching e-bay auctions for a couple of months led me to believe $400 - $600 was typical, mostly fluctuating due to locale and quality of picture/writeup...I paid in that range... If you are willing to wait, and be patient and watch carefully in local and online classifieds you could probably do a little better. I saw a pair of black Forte II's that looked really good, go for about $300 last weekend... YMMV... I LOVE my Forte's tho'...Was worth the 20+ year wait....
