So after a few days of having these.... I'm blown away. They're like Heresy on steroids. Bigger sound stage.... Natural chest thumping bass ( no sub)... I use " pure audio" setting on my reciever now and it's like they DON'T NEED EQ ing....
Besides a crossover recap ( should I? They sound so good now against my re capped Heresy 1 speakers, it's crazy)....
What else can be done to enhance their performance? Best placement? Toed in like Heresy or straight against wall?
Ideas? Thoughts?
Why fix what's not broken. Don't get in a hurry to start "updating". Not always a good thing.
Just my 2 cents worth.

If that doesn't work for you, I have new old stock Eminence 15677(K48). Just not stamped Klipsch.

I have some nos Eminence15677X which are K-48s. If you want, give me a pm and we can make a deal.

Tweeter diaphragms are easy to replace.
I drove my Quartets with a Marantz 2275, HK 930, Sansui 9090db and a Phase Linear 400. They sounded great with all.

I've read somewhere in this forum that Bose is a pretty big upgrade.
I'm sure someone else will verify.

I have owned both, and I too prefer the KG4 over the 4.2.

There's not a whole lot if room for profit margins on any of those. I sold my CF-3s for exactly $550 and I wouldn't count on much more than $200-$250 for a pair of Quartets. Not in Denver anyway.
I sold my excellent condition Quartets for $400.00 in WA. with a quickness.
Why so cheap in Denver? The altitude?

This is the best of my singles.
$40 to your door.
WOW! I didn't realize that they are so expensive.
Thank God I don't need one.

I have those now so I should go back to the thin RCA cables?
You can always try some different interconnects and see if you hear a difference.
Easy to get caught up in the cable thing and before you know it you have hundreds if not thousands wrapped up in your interconnects. Don't ask me how I know this.

I listen to CD and very little to radio in my Lexus and it sounds pretty damn good.

I finished installing my new cane grills for my forte 1s with badges
Beautiful. Great job. Man, if I knew my Forte's could have looked that good I may have kept them.
Well done.

Hi Tom - I'm a passionate photographer so I'm very visual. I have an old color organ I updated to match the decor in the house - so listening to music and seeing music go together. Sample of my photography work - Hugh Hefners wife - beauty
Ahhhh! That would match my decor perfectly!

I can't wait to see the pics. I understand about the aesthetics. It is very pleasing to have a home/room where everything actually accents or compliments everything else in the home/room.

I just bought some Forte ii frames for my Fortes and had them covered with some Blonde cane and they look really cool - my current grills are perfect so I didn't want to take the badges of those grills - the used ones came with one badge - the speaker just looks better to me with the badges on - so I pad $29 on ebay for another badge and waiting it to be delivered - to me my stereo is a part of my living room decor so whats $30 aft all we spend on our hi fi gear?
I'll post pictures once the grills are mounted with the new badges - btw - my wife loves how they look so far
I agree that after all we spend on our audio gear $30.00 doesn't seem like a big pile of money.
I just feel that charging that much for a badge is rediculous and greedy. This of course is only my personal opinion and I do respect other's thoughts, beliefs and opinions. Anyone can pay what they choose and justify it any way they want.
Hell, if I had an extra one I would just give it to you.

I also was looking for one or two of the copper badges because the one that came with the 2000 Klipschorn I picked up was bent. After seeing what they want for a badge on eBay, I just straightened the one I have the best I could. I believe that more than $20.00 for a simple badge is crazy.
Good luck.

I had multiple sets of these in my old Dodge van running from the EQ/subwoofer control unit to the amplifiers.
Did not care for them either or remember where i purchased them, probably sitting in a box somewhere if my son did not grab them for himself.
I always used cables available at Radio Shack, that store turned to crap along with no longer carrying decent cables.
I have some I bought years ago and do remember where I bought mine. I believe the store's name is Best Buy.
I bought mine in 2005 when I started getting back into audio.
I too no longer use them.

Let me know when you're getting ready to sell your Forte II's. I have family in the Midwest who might be able to pick up...
You poor man, you have the sickness like the rest of us.
I have to let you know, there is no cure. Just keep feeding the need and may God help you.

I stand corrected Styx.
Thank you for correcting that.
I am always entertained by Thebes and his philosophical renderings.
Keep up the good work.

You got too much time on your hands.
Wait a minute wasn't that a song by Stix?

That is about the going rate right now, 30 bucks each.,,

That is crazy.
You know what, it will probably sound the same without a badge.

I seen that. I won't pay $30.00 for no stinking badges.

Looking for one or two rectangular copper Klipsch badge or badges.
I need at least one for a 2000 Klipschorn. Two would be great, that way I would have a spare.
