Yes scottie, you are correct higher voltage or something like that. I have some cheap EL84's in it now, Craig just finished it so now it's time to find some nicer tubes. Jay

Did you ever find out anything about those xovers? Jay

Does anyone have a matched quad of either of these tubes they might want to part with? The prices online are just way to much, and ebay you never know. Jay

I know a guy that has a pair of Forte II's in the boxes and in mint condition, if you are interested in those let me know. Jay

Thanks William, I wasn't sure and just wanted to know. Jay

Is there any truth to the rumor that, a dvd player will play cd's better than a cd player and why? Also does anyone know of a dvd player recorder, that records in 5.1 surround sound? Jay

Hey Larry, Whenever you get the chance I am ready for that list. Jay

Can tell me the best way to dial in a sub? Jay

Yes I know I looked as well. Thanks . Jay

Can some one tell me what are the xover points for the Forte II ? Jay

Ok Larry that will be great. Jay

Larry classic rock and or jazz. As far as the sound goes, I was really not surprised. They have IMO that Klipsch sound to them, coupled with my Scott 299 I am more than satisfided with their performace and the cost. I am still moving them here and there, trying to find the right position for the best overall results. I will post my overall impressions after some more time listening to them. Jay

Allan if I still lived in Long Beach that would have been great, so I guess I will just have to settle for New Orleans jazz and some of it's local clubs. Jay

Yea, right on Bill. Some times you can't get enough, other times you get alot more than you wanted. jay

Yea Jonathan, did you make the bases. I think I want something like that for my Forte II's. BTW Michael, did you ever get you TT problems resolved? Jay

Ok I am using them as mains in my second system, with a Scott 299. I guess I just have to play with them for awhile to get placement right. Jay

Larry, I don't have the original list to choose from. Do you still have one? Jay

Jonathan check your earlier post. Jay

WPM, welcome to the forum and the world of Klipsch. You really won't be disappointed. Jay

Weren't they made to be on or near the floor, 10 inches seems a little high. Wouldn't that hinder or detract some of the bass? Jay

Made it back from Houston last night, really tired straight to sleep. Well I think that winning these speakers on ebay is the 2 nd. best $ 400.00 I have ever spent on audio. With the ALK's being the first, the Forte's were as described. Nearly perfect one owner. The couple I got these from are doctors, that should tell you something. He bought them new while in med. school, paid over $ 1200.00 for them all paper work and the boxes. All the drivers are perfect, they look brand new no kidding. The cabinets look new as well, I found 1 tiny blemish on the back of one. I am completely satisfied with the whole deal even the all day in the car thing. I will post pic's later, today it's all about enjoying them until the Yankee's game. Jay

Ok guy's I'm back from Houston with the Forte II's, and I am looking for advice on the placement of these. Anyone with Forte's please chime in. Jay

Jonathan, I spoke with my brother. He is really busy right now and does not have the time to refinish your speakers. If you like I will ask him to let me know when he can. Meanwhile why don't you think about a road trip to N.O. We can talk a little shop and you can listen to what I have. Jay

Yes i have heard other heritage speakers, and i have had the Scott for awhile. I just got it back from Craig at NOS Valves. He went through it and made it like new. As far as the sound goes for the Fortes, i have read alot of good things about them. Jay
