Colin Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Dont see many Quartet models for sale on eBay. Three average $347. Four dozen Heresy pair sales on eBay, in 2004 and 2006, sell from $200 to $590, establishing the average value at $405. Shipping averages $80. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Fortes I and IIs are similar to Chorus models, though less-sensitive, and roll off slowly below 200Hz. In 2004, a half-dozen pairs sold on eBay from a remarkable $158 to a high of $930. In 2006, a few moderate sales lowered the average to $550. Shipping averages $100. The Chorus uses a 15" woofer, but although only to 39Hz instead of the 12" Forte woofer at 32Hz. Chorus sound much like Cornwalls, but with a narrow, more modern looking, practical cabinet. The Chorus are larger and weigh 22 more pounds than Fortes. Klipsch specs show Chorus above <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Cornwall models, with the same sensitivity, but less of a fall below 50Hz. Chorus are cheap to the market compared to Cornwalls. On eBay sales in 2004 and spring 2006, Chorus sales average $559, with shipping at $215. Cornwalls I and IIs do NOT have horn loaded bass, have smaller mid-range horn than the larger Heritage models, but still have 15 woofer and amazing 100 dB/w/m sensitivity. Despite their size, they still fall off quickly below 50Hz. From 2-dozen eBay sales in 2005 and 2006, Corns sold from $550 to $1,400. An exception was in 2004, when a pair went for $1,800, but generally Corns average $930, about the same as the last 2 years. Shipping is usually not specified.

capo72 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Thanx Colin, very infomative. There are a nice pair of Forte II on ebay right now. They are starting right at your average of $550. These are local to me if anyone is interested. I may be able to help out, or hold onto them. I may go look at them just for the heck of it. Although I certainly don't need them.

colterphoto1 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Thanks for the rundown on these very popular models Colin! Keep up the tally sir. Do you by chance have forte and forte II tallies separate? I wonder what the price difference would be as I think the forte II is much more highly prized due to the Tractrix mid horn and 15" passive. Does the finish come into play, specifically do black speakers draw less $$? Thanks, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Robin Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Just wondering if you kept up with the Belle's by any chance? And since this was posted a year ago has the average gone up or down in that time frame of the other speakers listed? Later Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
