seti Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hope you don't mind me asking but how much did it cost and who did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hi , I ended up using American Freight Companies . They are basicly a broker and research which freight companies have space available , route , time etc... I paid $487.00 for shipping . I could have saved about $90.00 if I didn't have them use a lift gate truck to pick them up from the seller . As I said before do some research on freight companies because no one else would touch them for less than $800.00 . Considering the Belles had to travel more than 2900 miles , I am pretty happy with the amount I paid . Peace Out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anarchist Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Phil is a friend of mine. He has been over to my house on several occasions and listend to my various Klipsch speakers. Just recently, he decided to build the HT he had always talked about and came to me for advice. He, of course, was immediately pointed to an all-heritage home theater and purchased 4 sets of Heresies. The wife then heard the one set of Heresies and decided they must remain in the main room for her enjoyment. A variety of discussions on Khorns, Belles, and La Scalas then ensued. The result: I ended up with a pair of Khorns I saw in an auction while looking for speakers for him and he purchased the Belles. Now two small towns just outside of Lexington are home to KHorns, Belles, a lot of Heresies, an Academy, KG4's, KSP400's, SVS subs, and other assorted Klipsch. I am in Miami at the moment so I still haven't heard my KHorns but Phil called me after visiting Budmans house and was very impressed and is completely stoked about his "new" Belles which he promptly spent 5 hours listening to last night. Already warned him his next purchase will end up being a tube amp after he hears my Khorns and his Belles on my tube amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hi Budman , Conrats on your sale of the Belles . I followed the auction on ebay . The bid history was paticularly interesting , especially at the end . Did you give your reserve to him ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
