Driving your speakers with more power than they "need"

Driving your speakers with more power than they "need"
John Chi-town replied to CWelsh's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
You will notice a fuller sound, deeper bass, superior clarity, and dynamics you have never heard before. Out goes thin, bright sound when you have a good, solid, high-end amplifier that delivers high current and high power. It has nothing to do with loudness; it has to do with superior control and power reserve, like cruising at 80 miles on a highway with a V12 engine versus a 4-cylinder car. -
My comment was only to educate the seller on the value of his speakers. No one will offer him anywhere near his asking price. I hope he finds someone willing to pay 4K a pair. GLWS.

Bought My First Pair Of Klipsch And Am Over The Moon
John Chi-town replied to jp_nh's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
JP_NH perhaps it is the angle of the photo, but your fortes appear to be awfully close to the rear wall. Those passive radiators need some room to breathe. I have found that a minimum of 8 inches provides the best sound in my various listening areas. Glad you are happy with your purchase. The forte INMHO is the Goldilocks of the Heritage lineup. -

Pretty Cool Review of the Cornwall III
John Chi-town replied to MikeM's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Nice review. What version of forte do you own? I had forte II for almost 30 years and upgraded to IVs about a year and a half ago. I have heard Cornwall IV although not in my listening room. I actually prefer the forte IV in the bass department. INMHO punchier. The Cornwall is a great speaker in its own right, however there is something about the forte line that I cannot replace. How large is your listening area? If considering purchasing new, INMHO the WOW factor over the forte is not there for me. IF you go with Cornwall, I hope it meets your expectations and delivers that WOW factor for you. -
Forte IIs should I be replacing anything?
John Chi-town replied to MikeM's topic in Technical/Restorations
As Woofers and Tweeters stated a recap would set you up for another 30 years or so. In addition, applying a coat of Howard's Feed & Wax semi-annually will keep the cabinets looking great as well. What is the full serial number? I, or others could date year for you with. My 1992 fortes are now being enjoyed by another forum member. I bought a pair of forte IV about a year and a half ago. -
