I had a pair of Forte ll's once.....swore they were the worst sounding speaker I ever owned. Sold them to a guy that had pretty much evey type of Heritage speaker in his house. When I delivered the Forte ll's he had his K-horns playing powered by a 200 watt Carver amp. To me it sounded very forgettable. Nothing to write home about. In fact, it sounded pretty sad.....but anyway........ He hooked up the Forte ll's to the same amp plopped down right in front of the K-horns. At that moment, those Forte ll's sounded phenomenal. Better than the K-horns. Beats the hell outta me but that's how it went down. So there's that. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk -

McIntosh MC240 is another great choice. I like it better than the Fisher’s mentioned above. -
Wauw dank! Deze set heeft in de Melkweg in Amsterdam gestaan en via via bij mijn vader terecht gekomen. En die heeft ze gebruikt in zijn bandje maar nu mogen ze naar een liefhebber. Ik hoop dat er iemand voor is. -
Guys : the letter designation in Klipsch enclosure names, labelled "type" : what does it means ? I saw Klispsch Cornwall type CWO, CBR, CDBR and Heresy HWO, HDBR, my Heresy I are type HBR... Any of you have the key to this code, or is willing to direct me to the matching information source ? Thanks in advance & Cheers, -

What an entertaining read......reminds me of the solid state versus tube debates. Here is my take. Seven hours and thirteen minutes warm up at 91db and you will have all the good stuff you need from those speakers. I suggest a non stop loop of Ina Goda Davita. Wear some good quality ear muffs till then. By the way 12 ga speaker wire is more than adequate. Tubes? Would love to hear some golden ear audiophiles listen to stock tubes, wait for them to cool, install different tubes, wait for them to warm up, and tell me what you prefer. Your audio memory is surely better than mine. Have fun guys. I remember two psychological theories namely "Two Point Threshold" and "Just Noticeable Difference" from college days back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Google them if they are still around. -

After some A/B testing between a few sets K77s it seems as though the pair originally in the Khorns was a bit dull and quiet, compared to another set of alnico and a set with square magnets. so after swapping them out things were slightly clearer in the highest octaves. Tested the ESR in the caps and they all read within .3 of spec, decided to replace them anyway with parts from JEM just in case, but after doing one and comparing the two Khorns still no discernible difference. So i supposed my ears just like the voicing of the quartets a lot! The preference does seem program dependent, an early joni mitchell song may like the quartets, but a ricardo villalobos track sounds deeper on the Khorns. I do have a smallish room so that must factor in a bit as well, but I'll be hanging onto both for awhile. -
You can get top of the line finished one side cabinet grade 3/4" plywood (Cherry, Walnut) for about $250 to $450 bucks per 4 x 8 sheet. That was in 1970. So I am a bit behind the times. It might be $1000 now. JJK

This is about as worthless as an ABX test. And trust me, that’s pretty worth........ wait for it.............less.
