    Technical and modifications would probably be a great section to post this project!  Can’t wait to see your progress!

     

    Looks like all you folks from that area need to get together and attend the 2018 Pilgrimage to Hope, AR!

    I'm checking with a freight forwarder to get a pair of Forte IIIs delivered to me in Japan.  Can anyone confirm what I found for shipping info:

     

    Package Dimensions    39 x 19.5 x 15.5 inches
    Item Weight    70 pounds
    Shipping Weight    70 pounds

     

    To  buy the pair in Japan is around $9200.  If these dimensions and weight are correct, I can get them delivered for around $950 including customs and tax.

     

    Thanks,

    Forte III

    Need Forte III delivered to Japan, or possible bought here.

     

    I'm a retired US military living here in Japan.  I have for long time wanted a nice set of Klipsch speakers, going back to the 70s when I first seen and listen to them.  I do have a home theater setup with dual subs PSA S1500s and a custom made LCR set of speakers, plus in-ceiling speakers for atmos.  Having said all this I really want a dedicated 2-channel system.  My preference is the new Forte iii in the dark walnut.

     

    Can someone help explain what my options are to get a set delivered?  I know the shipping will be costly, but I still want them and willing to eat the cost.  I know they would have to go by freight, and probable would need to be palletized and placed inside a wooden box.  I have sent an inquiry to Klipsch, and am waiting on a response.

     

    Thanks & SemperFi,

     

    Jim

    Must be nice... I hope to be able to purchase a "New" set of speakers directly from the factory some day. The feeling must be very satisfying!

     

    Congratulations!

    @Schu, these were a gift from @pappyIII, which makes them even more special. Elden and I both are overwhelmed.

    Standalone DAC necessary?

    No the mods do not catch everything. Unfortunately we all have this thing called life that demands our attention every now and then. 

     

    That being said this type of language is not acceptable, ever under any conditions. 

     

    In the future PM me or another mod immediately when something like this happens. 

    MUSEUM VOLUNTEER WORK WEEK/DAYS

    Any workdays in the next coming months? I volunteered to work whenever needed, as I live in Texarkana. I gave the museum curator my number, but he has never called me. You can remind him that I was the person who purchased his cane grills for my La Scalas.

    Those look like the ones!  They modified the screens but its the same box.  They sounded great and I have a vintage install that Id love to put some in so I think I'll track those guys down and see if they will sell.  Thanks for the info!

    The ones you are referring to as "for sale" may have been purchased. the purchaser  may have a few for sale. PM me for his info if you are interested.

    Made it back from New Orleans in one piece!

    Felt compelled by this forum to eat bread pudding 3 times in four days, the worst batch was wonderful!

    Also felt I had to drink in the oldest bar in the US (maybe second oldest maybe third, but that has already been discussed)! Should have just gone to Elden's!

    I make a pretty good bread pudding!  Yes it would have been nice!  Next time you can park your behind here!  Easy commute from here to New Orleans!!!

    You guys are awesome!  I can not ever thank you enough for the support y'all have given to the Museum. Your contributions have helped financially stabilize the museum and are allowing us to proceed with much needed maintenance on the building. We've also been able to purchase computers and software that are essential to our operations. 

     

    The Executive Committee is preparing for our upcoming quarterly Board of Trustees meeting. We hope to have lots of exciting news in the next few months. 

     

    Again, thank you all!

    Not quite sure that @Chief bonehead has seen this thread yet.  Hopefully he will see it, read through the comments and the questions presented here and offer some answers.

     

    Honestly, all of you know that I've never been one to study the "technical" stuff.  I just know what I like to hear out of our system.  I truly wish more women understood and appreciated the concept of good audio.

     

    @dtel, may have described it best for me, "Roy designed it, set it up and it's all fine".  I can't really add anymore to that statement.  I've never made it a secret about my feelings for Roy, both professionally and personally.  He is truly one of the most incredible people I've ever met.  It's always a privilege to have him visit our home and for us to visit his home....and an honor to have his personal prototype of the 1502 integrated into our system.

    Hey Dtel's..........congrats on the new sub.  And you are lucky to get a house call from Roy for the setup.  I am sure things sound very nice today.  Enjoy.  :)

    We all need to come your way soon and visit!
