SOLD
Years ago, I had lots of laptops but now, not so much except for occasionally. I do have one that is pretty nice that I could set up with some options if interested. It's an HP EliteBook 8440p with an Intel Core-i7 620M CPU and has 4gb of RAM (expandable to 8gb). As it sits, it has Windows 7 Pro on it with a regular 500gb Hard drive and does not have MS Office or any other installed programs. It does come with a charger and a decent battery and the screen has no marks or dead spots. It might be able to be updated to Windows 10 and I can do that for you if you prefer.
General info on it with link. Anymore, I really don't care to take PayPal but I will take a USPS Money Order mailed to me and then it will hit the road. I've been on this site for years and many here can vouch for me with sales, etc. I really would rather not have the IRS be involved with my PayPal account anymore.

Good thing you didn't listen to those who said they'd pass on them.

That's not MDF on those speakers...but definitely beat to crap. For about a third of that price it would be doable to either build new cabinets, and keep the backs. Those cabinets definitely aren't rocket science to build. But would have to be the right price.

Well I can take a photo of my crossovers in both towers c(cf-1’s&cf-2’s ) and post them and you guys can go from there if it helps ??Pictures are definitely good as that will show if there's something burnt on them or not soldered in right. Personally, I wouldn't go crazy on the crossovers unless there's something visually wrong with them. Now, if there are electrolytics in the circuit, those would maybe merit a change. Resistors can make a little bit of difference but it's all about how much you want to spend on them to chase that last bit of %. If they aren't sounding like you want them to sound, find speakers that do. I personally haven't heard the 1's or 2's since they were first made but barely listened to them as the "stars of the show" were the 3's and 4's. I've owned 3 pairs of 3's so far and have version 1's now.

I did do capacitor and resistor changes on the CF-3 v3's I had a few years back and noticed some differences. Not major, though. Now I have a set of CF-3 v1's and they're going to stay mostly stock. The only caps that have been changed are the caps in the woofer circuit as they are electrolytics and had drifted over time plus a resistor that was charred. They were replaced with polyester caps with the same values and were tested.
Like @Chief bonehead (Roy) has said plenty of times... "It’s about the WHOLE network and voltage transfer curves" I'm good with that.

@Marquez If it's a free offer, wouldn't that be a personal choice thing for anyone interested? Why question free? (excluding shipping, I believe) You've been a member here since 6/2019 and that's quite the interesting first post to me, I guess.
-
Jeez....another set???
Great speakers for sure. I know for a fact my CF-3 v1's won't ever leave now. Even if I came across a set of CF-4 v1's for reasonable, I feel like I need to keep the 3's, too. But like everything, that's subject to change with minimal to no notice.
Congrats!

I would imagine all those yellow polyester caps are still in spec and I bet the blue ones that look like what came out of Heresy II's are as well. I left those in my CF-3 v1's versus changing them out, this time.

Seems like I've read where someone in this forum was an income tax person but I may be wrong. I have what might be a simple question about a 1099-NEC and how much it changes our taxes by adding it in, which I do know to do, of course.
Ok, the basic of it is me wondering how this makes sense. My wife and I file Married filing jointly. I do some side work for the Dr she works for and got a 1099-NEC. We end up doing the standard deduction because itemizing is lower deduction and, in doing so, show to get back $984 between state and federal. Now, when I add in the 1099-NEC, I realize there will be taxes on those earnings but I guess what threw me off is it goes to us owing $1,023 which is a swing of $2,007. The 1099 is for $5,520 so that equates me to paying a tad over 36% in taxes on that amount? Maybe that's right and how they stick it to us.

Blown like voice coil burnt or locked up? Or is it a sound you're hearing? These woofers do have issues with the glue coming undone on the dustcaps, occasionally the surrounds, and also the spider. Is it just noisy?
-
Placement as in how far apart, distance to listening spot, distance from speakers to back and side walls, toe in, etc?

One system upstairs in our new house and nothing anywhere downstairs. Unless you count a mix of 8 Google Nest Hubs and Minis in various rooms. It's nice to have gotten rid of a lot of clutter but it was fun in the earlier years.

How do you remove the front panel ?
i saw this picture on this thread and I don’t see any screws in front .Pull the 6 rubber cups where the speaker grills attach and the screws are behind those.

Well, that would be an easy trip for me since I'm just a little under 3 hours away from Hope plus access to all sorts of vehicles. Now if I can just get drawn....lol

The question is....can YOU hear a difference in them or is it something that you "think" you hear a difference in them because they're slightly different?
-
40 point margins at sheet. I wonder what early pay term discounts were on the line back then for them. Seemed like we had close to 50 point margins on Paradigm and JBL back in that era but maybe it was less.
-
Me personally, I'd leave the stock poly caps as they are on those and replace the electrolytics with some polyester caps and call it good. That's what was done recently on my CF-3 v1's, per Roy's suggestion, and they sound just fine. As the Chief says, it's all about the voltage transfer curve on the crossover as a whole.
As far as that back panel goes, knock that joker out of there and re-attach it back in.
But, regardless, I'd be glad to help out. I can wield my Hakko soldering iron no problem. lol

I've got a set of CF-3 v1's that are satin black and the paint looks awful. Not scratched up really...just bad paint job. I'm going to strip the paint off, square up all corners, and re-veneer them in either ribbon mahogany, walnut, or cherry. Easy on these as there are only 3 sides to cover on each and no front facing trim.
Me personally if I had your Fortes, I'd strip them and re-veneer. I'm not as much a fan of seeing all the black paint left in the grain...and especially if that's oak underneath (which I already like the least of all grains). If they weren't gouged up much, my other option would be to paint them back black. That's a black satin paint on them....not stain.

Were these used as a midrange for your Klipschorns or as the whole HF section? I sometimes think I want to build a set of Jubilee clones and don't have room for 402 horns because of the sloped ceiling upstairs.

Those are for the CF-2. The CF-3 & 4 take the K-63-N which I'm fortunate to own two of for my v1 CF-3's along with a "new in box" Neo 10" woofer.
