Thanks I am looking at doing the newtworks on all my fronts Forte II, Academy to update the old networks. I have been paying attention to the post on updating old components in these already great sounding speakers. Waiting for further information from you.

Fellow Klipsch Heads I am in the same boat with everyone else but took a different direction. My teenage boys blew up my Academy and I bought replacement drivers from Klipsch and had to use KLF C7 drivers for the 8". I think there is enough need for a Heritage center because 5 channel and more is here to stay. Popbumper can you private message me on network for the hot rod Academy with KLF replacements. I have yet to play the Academy since replacement waiting on Musical Fidelity amplifier to be delivered. Thanks and this forum ROCKS......

My recent experience with my Klipsch tech support is way above the norm in the real corporate world. My Academy fell on hard time recently my teenage boys turned up the movie Transformers and blew the woofers and tweeter. I called Klipsch and found out the woofers were no longer available for a Academy. Much to my surprise they suggested send an email to Michael Colter and advise him of my situation. He emailed me back and said he would investigate alternatives that sounded hopeful. Colterphoto I and Popbumper set up and tested the Academy and KLF C7 to see if a suitable replacement could be found and they did and recommended the KLF drive would work. I have since ordered my replacement drivers and am waiting on the arrival to post my response to the hard work of 2 fine gentlemen of the Klipsch Nation.

I really appreciate your opinion you come very highly regarded as "THE MAN". I have already sold the B&K and am waiting for the delivery of the Musical Fidelity. I own a back up Parasound HCA1206 6 channel to fall back on if I don't like the MF which I doubt very seriously I would not like the sound.

DeanG I am on a quest to make my system as ear freindly as possible. With the Musical Fidelity I belive it will give me the best of both world smooth sound on music and good sounding movies, however I may need some network upgrades for the Forte II as well as my Academy ( with new KLF C7 drivers due to thermal meltdown by my teenage boys). Colerphoto1 and Popbumber ran test at Klipsch to find suitable replacements since Klipsch does not make Academy drivers any longer. The KLF drivers had a little forward presentation that will work fine with movies however Michael said it was a little much on 5 channel music and maybe we would have to build a new network.

I am looking to up grade for the 3rd time in 12 months(my wife is pissed). I am looking at the Musical Fidelity Ht600 5 channel amp. I listen to 2 channel but also like good movies as well. Look like all the info I find the amp is made for the Forte II that I use for my main listening room. I am currently using a B&K AVC 5000 II with the same power ratings but hear the other is much more musical. Can anyone shed some lite on the subject.....Any info would be appreciated..... Forte II , Academy center KG 2.2V Surrounds, Rel Q201 sub bass Parrasound 2500u processor bash I have already posted this question on the 2 channel thread no response here ya go HT nut like me

It really depends on the intent of the sub woofer ( movies or music). I have found the British make a great sub for the $$$$. Try http://www.mjacoustics.co.uk/. I own a Rel Q201 and it is aw some with both music and movies because of the intent to recreate music with detail and finesse along with impact and thrust movies require a well rounded Sub-Bass system. Oh by the way the guys at MJ Acoustics were the same guys who made Rel the best sub bass system on the market today for musical sub systems all musicians and engineers as well.

I know some one has a opinion on the Musical Fidelity question. I have since made the purchase but still would like to get the Klipsch Nation to chime in on t he subject.
