  1. So, I just recived my new, to me, Academy center.

    As soon as I picked it up, I heard a loud clucking noise from inside.

    Once I removed the woffers, I noticed the shielding magnets fell off the back of both woffers.

    Whats the best type of glue to use, I was thinking either hot glue, or some sort of epoxy.

    What do ya think?

    Other than this, the speaker looks like new...

    Thanks

    I end up using hot glue, the buckling magnets were inclosed in a metal can, see picture.

    Easy fix.

  2. I've just discovered 1 of my passive radiators on back of my Forte's is pushed in a bit.

    Right in the middle of the speaker.

    Whats the best to to fix this? is it degrading the sound.

    I see no cracks or holes, just a dent.

    If I remove the speaker, can I just push it out, or is there a driver of some sort in back of the passive radiator?

    What about using a vacume to try to pull it out?

    Maybe letting some bubble gum dry up in the dent, than try to pull out?

    Sounds funny but will it work?

    I don't what to damage it any worse.

    Thanks

    With my 2 new RS35 and my Fortes my new family room really rocks. 2ch only at this time.

    Cant wait to upgrade the rest.

  3. So it sounds like using my Fortes as the 2 front mains is not a good idea

    with the rest of the speakers being the Ref. line.

    Ideal would be using my 2 Fortes as front mains.

    RC-7 or RC-35 center

    RS-7 or RS-35 Side surrounds

    RW-12

    and the RCW-5 in the rear.

    Would this setup disapoint me?

    or should I retier the Fortes to the basement and get the RF5 or 7's????

  4. High, Must say I love this form, here almost every day.

    I've got a pair of 1985 Forte's, and was wondering how thay will match

    up with the RC-7 / RS-7 / RW12 / and RCW-5.

    Just finishing the new 17x20 HT / family room.

    Going Klipsch all the way around, just not sure if my old Forte's will

    match up OK.

    Thanks
