Moderators Amy Posted November 19, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2008 Just giving you guys a heads up. Unless there is one or two tucked away in the warehouse that no one knows about, I'll be auctioning the very last new Belle Klipsch starting tonight (one week auction, item # 150310956875). It's mahogany, which I do not have a photo of, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Ah the last of the Klipsch southern Belles [:'(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjgeraci Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hurry Folks!! Still, IMHO, the best Heritage center of all time, when you factor in looks, overall sound, and the large surface platform for your video. Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTLongo Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I guess I may have one of the last new-production Belles, a medium-oak one purchased September 2004 in Delaware for $2470.00. It is serial # BK3MO1704340001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 There was a pair about two years ago sold as the last pair every to be made...maybe the pair left an egg behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is serial # BK3MO1704340001. Amy auctioned a pair on ebay about 2 years ago, thought at the time, to be the last pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Amy Posted November 19, 2008 Author Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2008 As I said, unless there is a straggler in the warehouse I am not aware of, this is the last one. I'd never intentionally mislead anyone, and would never present something as fact without being 100% sure. I know you guys aren't used to that around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'll buy it if you can assure me it's serial number will be "The Official Last One" [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 No photo. Darn. A new Belle in Mahogany. I bet that's stunning. Is it too late to require the purchaser to send you a picture you can post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'll buy it if you can assure me it's serial number will be "The Official Last One" and a hand signed photo of the klipsch staff holding a banner saying it's the last one?

What if there's not a Belle in the box. Kind of crazy, but what if they had the box ready but never built the the speaker and filled it full of parts or something and it got taped shut years ago and pushed into a corner somewhere.... There is no picture. Highly unlike of course but here is no picture. Now it would be funny if someone like Coytee got a Belle box full of horns, woofers, or veneer scraps or something. Hello, Klipsch? I bought this Belle from you on eBay and I open the box and it's got a few petrified chiclets, some scraps of veneer, and a stack of Acoustic Horn Design Monthly magazines.... um, where's my Belle ... Bid high Coytee (Amy, should Richard win, maybe you could send him a bogus box full of scrap parts or something along with the real thing and bribe the truck driver into making sure he gets the box o stuff before the real thing? Of course Coytee will see this but maybe he'll forget until after he almost passes out.... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted November 20, 2008 Author Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'll buy it if you can assure me it's serial number will be "The Official Last One" I doubt it was the last one made, it just happens to be the last one still hanging around. If I was in Hope, I'd walk around myself and look for any others, but from my limited view of looking in our system software, it is the last one. I'll have everyone at the plant sign the box for you if you like. They can even make you a brass plate for a small fee saying "I bought the last one" to tack onto the back.

Ooh, what if it's random stuff from the Museum? Maybe that electroshock therapy machine from the basement... Also, if it was pushed into a corner somewhere, that would be a Khorn, not a Belle.

BLSamuel Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Maybe that electroshock therapy machine from the basement... That'd be even better! I'm in. uh, Amy, can I use more than one credit card? [:$] oh, never mind, just Fini playing with my mind... (hmmm, if he's playing with it maybe I've still got a couple of marbles left [:S] ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 If you won that electroshock therapy machine, we could really play with your mind! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some nice drywall screws laying around somewhere....I think they're 3" long...would those hold it? [<)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Did I just say plack instead of plaque? [:^)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
