I would assume less bass on the Forte versus the Forte 2 with the larger 15" passive, right? Considering trying these but curious if anyone has owned/compared CF-3'so them. The Forte's are going to be more in your face, right? I'd hate to lose bass in comparison to the CF-3's like how the KLF-30's sounded in my living room. Plus no 15" passive and Tractrix mid horn. Just curious.

Dang. That's a good price.

Um...ok. I've compared it plenty of times in my previous 30+ year a/v history. It all depends on the drivers, enclosure, application, amplification, cabinet, etc. Again, lots of variables. It's always been humorous to hear people talk of it that way.

avguytx, how is the bass with the EL84 amps?, I'm starting to lean toward a hybrid
It's quite good but no comparison to the amp I use 90% of the time (the larger Carver M-1.0t MkII) and it doesn't matter the volume level I listen at. If I do actually get to play things a little louder, when everyone is gone, the more power comes in handy. I'm pretty sure if I ran either of the two tube amps on Belle's, La Scala's, Klipschorns, etc., that power would be sufficient and the larger amp overkill...and maybe noisy.
I did run one of them on some Khorns years ago and it did just fine. All I needed.

Cornwall's are not CF3 they are at least four db away and a smaller combined piston area (2x10" Vs 1x15" = no contest).
Two 10" drivers (157 sq in area) versus a single 15 " (170 sq in area) is only a 8% +/- difference of cone area. That's not a major difference. Plus there are lots of other factors that come into the equation, too.

Saw him a few times myself back in the 80's. Had a helluva good voice live.

Those are quite good preamps, for sure. I was a manufacturers rep for NAD for 9 yeas and they were great people to work with and 2 channel products performed very well. If I didn't already have a highly modified Carver C-1 with added remote control, I'd buy it now. GLWS

I've got 2 different 10 wpc EL84 tube amps that sound very nice on my CF-3'S, but, they both pale in comparison to 460 wpc on them. They definitely aren't as efficient as the Heritage line and do shine with power...no matter what levels you listen at. The dynamics are outstanding with the extra power....the low end is aolid, midrange very fluid, and highs aren't overbearing. They have phenomenal staging. But, that's just my $.02.
Wait...I was supposed to recommend an SET. Oops.

Happy Birthday, Jim. Hope you have an awesome day!

No telling.

Wasn't a need. I'd say 99% would know what you were referring to.

I knew exactly what he meant.

Anybody out there headed to Arkansas any time soon?

Dang.... Once again, too far away and an awesome price. GLWS

I also noticed just now they were listed on DFW Craigslist, too., Hmm.

Add gone....apparently sold. No loss.

May have simply come off. I'm not sure if these have serial numbers on the top engraved into the wood like the Heritage line. Plus I'm not at home to look at the top back of mine, either. Only real way is to look at the ports and measure depth, look at internal wiring to see if it's clear cable or colored wire, and if the horns are more black or gray in color. About the only ways to tell differences in versions 1, 2, & 3. And sometimes even those can vary.
-
But I shot an offer to them, anyway.

I know I could refinish them, update crossovers, etc, etc, and they'd be original Belle's but... It would have to be a low price for me to consider. I'm just being a cheap skate. Listening to my CF-3's, I still question even wanting to get a pair of something else. Not sure.
-
A pair that's within an hour of me but way too rough. Figures. I was excited until I looked at all of the pictures.
-
Most likely. If they were L100's, L100T's/T3's, or L100S's, it might be another story.
-
Where are you located again?
-
Lush and wetness, huh? I could go so many directions with that one.... (like a gal I dated back in the late 80's

You mean besides buying them new from Bob Crites? $240 a pair isn't bad for woofers.

Is there nowhere we can see specs on Heritage anymore? I believe these are about 56lbs? That's 40+ less than CF-3'S. Maybe I should just hold out for my Belle build.
