You are wrong on this one Moray. I have one in the shop right now I can take pictures of that uses plywood for the back and motor board as is clearly seen in the cutouts. This may change in later versions but to be honest I have not paid attention to the ones I have had in the past.
That matches what I see since the riser is MDF with veneer on one side and wood on the other and MDF in between.
You are correct......all the ones I have rebuilt ....Chorus 2 .....Forte......Forte 2......Quartet......all have plywood back and motor boards

I have never found the labels to affect the sound in the slightest. 🙂
I will be going to AXPONA next month and likely won't hear many speakers there for less than $2000 that will sound better than the those Forte.
The $700 is a little high for Chicago, but not excessively high.
+1 To that

It is nice......but more trouble then it's worth......I had a chance to buy one about 2 years ago..... Passed.....Bought a Au 9900/Tu 9900 combo instead......and still had enough left over to have the Au 9900 restored...
Beautiful craftsmanship....as in any older Sansui

5.1 just doesn't move me very much for bands that are all in front of you. Most of it is audience.

I finally said good bye to General Motors after 24 years. I've had 5 surgeries in the last 8 years, and my body just can't take building trucks anymore. Probably the scariest thing I've ever done, but I did it.
I'm 63, so with my pension and SS, I should be fine. Besides, my wife works full time also. I'll probably have to cut back on buying vintage tubes and speakers.....
Congratulations......did the same thing a little over a year ago......You will be fine

My Forte's really wake up using one of my vintage Sansui's

Wow.....I actually prefer my old cartridges to my new......I run a Signet 7 and a Signet 5.
I prefer either of them to my Ortofon. I buy my replacement styli from here.

I figured the CW III's would be too much.......You think the same way I do .....I wanted to upgrade my Forte's to Forte III's but didn't want to spend the 3 grand.
What everybody here is saying is any one of your choices will out perform the JBL's......I am not ripping the JBL's....great speaker is a smaller room ....sitting close to them.
If the price is right ......you will always be able to resell and make most of your money back....if not all it.

I own a few pairs of Chorus II's...... I would have to agree with Westcoastdrums...... due to your room size...Don't get me wrong I love my Chorus II's .....but I can't imagine how they would be in a room that size.....To be honest I would have to say Cornwall II's to get the most out of your room...the Sansui 919 should be a nice source with either......The best would be a set of Cornwall III's...because of the changes made to them .....I heard they are a lot like a set of Chorus II's on steroids.

Yes....I have a very old Windows pc in my basement (see my profile)......All music/ movies are stored on my windows 7 server
Then I run Intel NUCs at both my systems...........You can probably just run server and use Cat5/ Cat6 to your receiver. Possibly off of a network switch.......If you are thinking of doing this wirelessly.....can be done but audio dropout's are common....
There might be better ways to do this.....but this is what works for me

I found that Windows 10 really sucks.....for networking....often times network pc's are missing from the network list....been trying different fixed ....work arounds.......best thing that worked was ....run server with Windows 7 ....all other pc's can be Windows 10...if they don't see each other.....it doesn't matter .....they always see the Windows 7 server....I never have any media pc go into hibernate....it causes all sorts of strange things...... FLAC files.....JRiver....been using it for a while.....like it for audio.
I use Kodi for video

It seems like an interesting project...... keep us up to date of progress...I like things that make sound and are cheap.
Are those the ones on Ebay for $14 bucks each?
