In placing a pair of K-horns in the corner: Do they have to be fit to the corner, or can they be "toed out" or "toed in" for soundstaging due to room dimensions? How far out from the wall corner can they be placed without adversely affecting the lower octave?

I have a single Belle Klipsch that I would consider selling. If you are interested, feel free to email me at deanlivingston@charter.net and I will send some photo's. I'm located in SC.

Looking for a singe Belle to purchase and restore, preferably in walnut from the 70's or 80's...condition is not critical. I would prefer within driving distance of upstate SC...but will otherwise arrange for shipping. Thanks...can be reached at deanlivingston@charter.net

Thank you!

COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME THE T/S ON THE K-25....THANKS

I've seen/heard this before. It was caused by open ground from AV cable signal. Instant soluction was to connect a ground wire to the A/V splitter and sufficient ground location on receiver/amp/or preamp. Likewise dimmers turned all the way up can also inject this kind of noise -- just dim the lights a little...makes for better listening anyhow. I'll never forget that Boston concert in Atlanta when they turned up the houselights for the playing of Longtime -- really killed the mood. Good luck, klipschfan

Yes...it's 8ohm nominal...6.7 minimum. I guess the search continues....any suggestions or is k28e best choice for now?

Bob, How would you think an EV SP12c would perform in a Forte I cabinet. SP12C: Fs = 45hz; Qes = 0.75; Qms = 5.9, Qts = 0.67; Vas = 5.9ft3 Always appreciate your opinion. Klipschfan

Do you by chance have the T/S parameters for the original Forte woofer...I believe it's the K23? Thanks, Dean (klipschfan)

Several years ago I decided to see if I could successfully blend the successful sound of the Heresy with the bass extension of the Forte'. The result has been most pleasing. Step one was to replace the Forte's original midrange horns & drivers, crossovers, and tweeters with original heresy (1980) components, and replacing the original grill cloth with a much lighter weave I purchased from Madisound. Step 2 led to also replacing the woofers with the new Klipsch woofer now used in the Heresy III's (K28EP)....4ohm 99db....precise, fast -- flat to 40hz in the Forte I cabinet, -5db at 30 hz (wish I could measure 35 hz). Step 3 led to replacing the K77's (EV T35's) with EV T 350's and installing new binding posts on the bases, thus by-passing the remaining mounting board from the original Forte' crossovers. As a final step I mounted each speaker on 2" spikes...from Madisound. This last step was the most noticeable on the total bottom end, finally giving the mating of the woofers, passive radiators, and cabinets the opportunity to be as precise as those wonderful K55's and T350's. Bob Crites helped me procure some dual phase plug K55mid drivers from '80 along with the Heresy mid horns. . Michael Swallick handcrafted some absolutely stunning 8" walnut custom risers. I located both of these gentlemen and their excellent products via Ebay. If anyone wants to try this you're going to need to build mounting templates by sketching the outer edges of your current Forte mids and tweeters on hardboard, then cutting them out with a scroll saw. The mid horns must be surface mounted from the front...otherwise the K55's are just too deep to rear mount to baffle board...and the job would be too difficult anyway. The installation of the T350's was a bear. I'm now considering replacing my motorboards with 3/4 walnut veenered plywood. PWK ..... cheers and thanks for some of best fun per $ I can enjoy.

Thanks....I'll try those Titanium diaphragms. []

I have recently replaced the xover caps with oil filled MCaps and also rewired with 12awg copper/silver wire in my original series I Forte's. Great improvement...fabulous bass!....but....I miss that wonderful upper range liveliness of my series I Heresy's. I'm considering reconfiguring my Forte's with orginal Heresy I tweeter, mid, and crossovers. 1-Has anyone tried this/what were the results? 2-What alterations/optimizations would I need to make to Heresy crossover for this proposed Forte application? Thanks, klipschfan
