    Forte Problem

    Morning all, I have a pair of original Forte that have never made it into regular rotation, but were great second speakers in a dual speaker setup for certain types of music. These were purchased cosmetically challenged, but mechanically sound, and had the Crites tweeter upgrade done...

    Forte PR surround repair

    Hi all, In beginning a recap of my Forte's, I noticed a small tear (~1") in the rubber surround on the passive radiator. I know the proper repair to to replace the surround but as this is only the PR and not all that critical to sound quality, I was hoping to repair it until I can get them...

    Which Forte?

    I plan to buy a pair of Klipsch Forte speakers in the near future. I was set on a pair of Forte 1s that sound incredible until I saw an ad for a pair of Forte 3s. Any thoughts / opinions on which Klipsch Forte model is the best?

    Went and Did this Yesterday....

    Added in the Fortes yesterday. Had demoed these at the seller's house early last year, and passed on them. Problem was he had them in a hard room hooked to a Carver pre/power, and they just didn't sound good. However, I know that my room can soften edgy speakers, and the tubes seem to get the...

    Klipsch heritage vs. vintage Yamaha

    I am totally satisfied with my NS-690 MkII. They are an excellent speaker set and I love them. However I have been getting interested in old Klipsch. A lot of people praise their horn sound and they've got me wondering. I really want to hear a set. Given european prices, Cornwalls are a bit...

    Klipsch Forte - What to Expect

    I posted this over on the Klipsch website, but thought there may be value in gaining some additional perspective. Back when I sold my MAs, and was in the process of refinishing my Soliloquy, I had placed a local classified ad looking for a set of floorstanders or large bookshelves. A couple of...
