Mark, thanks for your input. Am I missing something on serial numbers? The FB posting link reflects the serial number of an Academy Center Channel also available from same seller. The serial numbers for the C-4, are: 041595073 My understanding on serials is that this would reflect a date of 41st day of 1995?

The speakers are still available Serial number is 041595073. Would that be a V1, or 2? Said they are her fathers and look "out of the wrapper". Is $1,500.00 a fair price?

Both PM"s responded to. Thank you. John

I anticipate picking up a pair of forte III on Thursday. Should everything work out, which I believe it should, then I will be selling my 1992 forte II beginning Friday 3/22/19 Consecutive serial numbers, Clear Oak Finish BC Titanium tweeter diaphragm Klipsch Titanium squawker diaphragm BC Networks BC Outboard mid range band pass Original boxes, inserts, etc, Aesthetically the speakers are a 10/10, straight out of the wrapper. No disappointments. $750.00 Firm Pictures to follow soon. I prefer not to ship. Local buyer can audition. Regards, John

LMAO.... Regards, John

INMHO you can never have enough clean power, especially one with a large torrid transformer with large power reserves. Your volume control should take care of over-driving the speakers, if your ears last that long. Regards, John

Wish you were closer. GLWS. If the Chorus II are in great shape , as they appear to be you may get 1K out of them. John

Thoughts on KLF-10? 2-Channel System
John Chi-town replied to Bsherck's topic in General Klipsch Info
If you liked the KG series, then INMHO you would be happier with a used set of forte, or forte II. Regards John -
Klipsch Forte III Initial Impressions
John Chi-town replied to Matt1993's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
The forte line has always had a reputation of being among one of Klipsch's most balanced speakers. I have been enjoying my forte II for over a quarter century now, with zero regrets. Glad to see you appear to have placement issues mostly resolved. Enjoy, and congratulations.. Regards, John -
Rick, Agreed. GLWS they should not last long, Regards, John
-
Rick Thank you. Still trying to figure out if I can pull the trigger on. Just didn"t want to contemplate if unwilling to ship. They are beautiful! John
-
Will you ship? Regards, John

I had the exact opposite experience when I bought my first real system in early 1992. My salesman couldn't stop guiding me back to the forte II even though I was willing to pay the price difference on the Chorus II at the time. I have had absolutely zero regrets over the last 28 years or so.. This was at United Audio, a long defunct high end retailer in the Midwest. Regards, John

Trouble shooting CD Player/Preamp

forte III lambswool grill fabric
John Chi-town replied to John Chi-town's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Deer season in IL ends Sunday the 20th. Hopefully will get in some time the following week. -
Powered up my system and all seemed to be functioning properly, until I loaded a CD and tried to play. Everything functions on player but no sound. I have balanced interconnects from player to preamp. When Preamp is set to CD, No sound. Although I am able to get video audio when set to Aux 1. Since I do not have, nor can I find a player to borrow with balanced interconnects, can I run unbalanced RCA from player to Aux 1 and assume if still no sound that the issue lies in the player and not the preamp? Or vice versa? Thanks in advance, John
