ka7niq Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 These sold locally here to a wonderful Klipsch head, and are going to a home where they will be loved and cherished! There will be other Klipsch "children" for KHorn to "Play" with, and all Mac tube stuff to "feed off: LOL! A word to the wise fellow Kliopsch lovers, AudioGon sucks for selling Klipsch. I had em on Audiogon for a week, but sold em on EBay the first day! Plus, on Ebay, I had 24 Emails in one day! Sorry you guys missed out, but be happy, they went to a wonderful home, and I made a great new friend!! Chris dba "KA7NIQ" Due to my lack of proper corners, I am selling a pair of very nice 1980's Walnut Klipschorns. I have placed em on Ebay, so go and bid here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5836887012 I also have a pair of original Forte's for sale for 400 dollars. I did replace all the crossover caps with polyproplyne, and used Mills audiophile resistors, as Dean suggested. All values in crossover are the same, i just upgraded parts quality. This made a huge difference in sound. The Forte's were going to be my rears, but since the Klipschorns are leaving, they must go too. The Forte's are a medium oak finish, and have the optional risers. Both are for sale on AudioGon and Ebay, so if you want Klipschorns, better act? My phone is 813 655 8777 and I am close to Tampa, Florida. I will ship the Klipschorns, but prefer someone to pick em up. They are too nice to get all banged up. I will also ship the Forte's. The Klipschorns are stock, except the tweeter diapraghms were replaced professionally by The Speaker Exchange here in Tampa, using original Klipsch OEM diapraghms. First come, first served!

Duke Spinner Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 great deal .......!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka7niq Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Yeah, it's a SUPER deal for someone with corners! I waited a long time to find a pair of these, only to find out the hard way that my corners wont accommodate em. There were 2 for sale just yesterday on EBay, one at a buy it now for 2239.00 and it was bid up over a grand, and now it;s gone. Someone must have just cut a deal ? 1500.00 for a nice pair of stock, working KHorns is a real deal. But, you know what's going to happen ? Someone is going to put a pair on EBay, and everyone is going to "wait and see" if they can get em for even less then I want, LOL Been there, done that, learned my lesson. When these came for sale locally, I jumped right on em. These are local owned speakers, never been out of Tampa. They were sold to Sensuous Sounds, a Klipsch dealer, right from Klipsch. I dont know about you, but I dont want to buy a pair that have travelled halfway across the country ? Someone is going to jump on these, and get a real deal on a nice set of speakers. The Forte's, once I changed their caps, sound very good too. I found a once in a lifetime deal on some equipment, and I need to sell these.

Cal Blacksmith Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I would love to take them offin your hands, ESP at that price but there are a few things again it. 1) I aint got no good corners 2 I aint got the money and 3)I am in Californie and that is a little longer drive than I would care to make. Good luck on them speakers, I just know someone is gettin a good deal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ka7niq Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hey, I got a good deal on them, they didnt work out because of my room corners, and I am just "passing them on". Mortgage the farm ... this is a real deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWhite Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 LOL Tempting, very tempting. but alas, for now I'd have to pass, perhaps after the holiday is done I could do it but now is not the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Ditto on the broke part...sorry, dude. Hope you get what you want for 'em; they're nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'd suggest fixing your listing (which may mean ending this auction early), because you've listed them as a Dutch auction. If someone bids the opening price, they will be asked how many they want at that price (one or two). So, for a pair, the opening bid is $2600. If this is not how you indended this auction to be listed, you should change it, before a bid is placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 You may also want to add more photos. Show the entire speakers (both of them), not just the tops. That should help generate more interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm interested in your Fortes. Could you post or email photos please. I'll check the ads.... I have family in Tampa so could have picked up locally (my specialty)- PLEASE don't ship them.... EDIT- couldn't find any ads for the Fortes. Could you please post or email photos showing all sides and drivers? Thanks, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
