Gas, hands down Regards, John

Is Simply Stereo in Hoffman Estates, IL. a pending Heritage dealer? They carry several Heritage speakers, yet not the forte III. Regards, John

INMHO, they are MC Nuggets with no bones.☺️

I just sent you a PM Regards, John

Would you ship? Are there any dings or scratches on cabinets? My zip code is 60010. Best regards, John

Shakeydeal, Are the forte III still available? Regards, John

Although the Chorus II has different crossover points, the concept remains the same. INMHO I think you would enjoy the results. A bandpass limits the out put of the squawker driver. Please see detailed description from Bob Crites below: I can provide a little technical information of using the Klipsch titanium midrange to replace the orignal phenolics. On the trace below, the red is an original K-53 phenolic diaphrgm and the green is the K-53TI titanium midrange diaphragm on the same 700 hz horn. We see slightly higher average output for the titanium than the phenolic. The phenolic output drops like a stone at 6khz where the tweeter takes over. That allows the crossover to be pretty simple since there is no reason to roll off the midrange. But, the titanium diaphragm keeps on going, in fact heading for a peak at around 7.3khz before it drops off. So, if the titanium diaphragm is used in place of the phenolic without a crossover mod, you would have the midrange and tweeter both at full output at the same time around 7khz.

I finally had the opportunity to audition a pair of forte III. Superior to Cornwall III INMHO. However I modified my Forte II with K53 TI drivers along with the usual Bob Crites titanium tweeter upgrade many moons ago. Also added Bob's Band Pass roll off to tame the Ti Squawkers. INMHO 98%+ sound of the new forte III for about $2,800 less including upgrades. Just food for thought, if not happy you could always sell and get your money back. Regards, John

Maybe the OP would like to do a straight up trade on my mint forte II? Best regards, John

Ditto what 314 Carpenter said. Best regards, John

INMHO, from an ethical hunting perspective, 70 yards for enough energy for an ethical kill. Paper 100+ yards. John

I have little knowledge on since they are not valid hunting devices in the states where I hunt.

We have quite a few off the Fox River in Southwest Lake County IL. Great to see these magnificent birds in good numbers once again. Growing up as a pre-teen in the early to mid 70's Midwest you rarely saw deer, turkey, etc, Unless you were in the North Woods of Wisconsin or Minnesota.

If you go to Barnett's website, they have 6 new 2018 models, downloadable catalog 2018 models is at bottom right corner of home page. Website is still showing 2017 models as 2018 will be released shortly.

Illinois lifted all restrictions on crossbows about a week before opening day last season,10/1. We had late season only, unless 62+, or disabled. Meaning end of first week of December to Mid January. I have hunted South Eastern Indiana quite a bit, Switzerland County. My in laws and wife are from I-65 and mile marker 20, more or less. Great deer and turkey hunting.

I have on pre-order. I just sold my Barnett Ghost 410 to a good hunting buddy of mine, Really looking forward to dialing this BEAST in. Any other crossbow fans out there? http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/ata-show/new-for-2018-barnett-predator-crossbow/ Best regards, John

INMHO, you are expecting more than the MAC, 2 channel amp can support with swings well blow 4 OHM. My guess is that you may encounter the same problem again. Best regards, John

Nice way to pay it forward!

My guess is a couple hundred plus for new passive radiators via forte III. Best regards, John

No affiliation. Great Pre-amp, if you are looking for passive and active mode. Single Class A gain in active mode. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Adcom-GFP-750/112808934648?epid=66744744&hash=item1a43efbcf8:g:MboAAOSwnlFaf7kV Best regards, John
