Anyone know if the dimensions of the forte III are the same as the forte II? Would be nice to have a set of the lambs wool grill covers on my forte II.

The Forte II digs down to 32Hz. Are you sure only 38Hz on III? Best regards, John

Just bought my first pair of Forte II's...
John Chi-town replied to NowBlasting's topic in Technical/Restorations
Bob Crites replacement mid range is phenolic and not titanium. You can order K53TI, titanium diaphragms for the mid range through Klipsch directly, Sernd me a PM if you want additional information. A titanium diaphragm in the squawker horn does require a crossover mod. You have one of the best balanced speakers Klipsch ever made. Enjoy, and best regards. John -

Klipsch forte ii with carver tfm-45
John Chi-town replied to fluidcool's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Interesting speakers that Bob is building these days. Would love to see a joint product from him and Nelson Pass. http://www.bobcarvercorp.com/#!als/cwgy Best regards, John -
A little wood filler and a coat of paint and would be damn near perfect. If I were closer I would jump on. Are passive radiators dent and hole free? Best luck with your sale. John

Klipsch forte ii with carver tfm-45
John Chi-town replied to fluidcool's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
That is what your volume control is for. I run an Adcom amp rated at 250 WPC continuous to a pair of forte II. The extra reserve capacitance power is a plus for difficult loads or passages. Best regards, John. -

I run a 250 WPC amp with forte II. forte II are rated 100 continuous, 500 peak. As others have stated much larger presence/head room, better bass response at all levels, and plenty of reserve capacitance power for difficult loads and or passages. Best regards, John

Bandpass filter for Ti midrange diaphram substitution?
John Chi-town replied to absolve2525's topic in Technical/Restorations
Bob Crites can also build you a squawker roll off. My forte II have new BC networks, his titanium tweeter, and Klipsch K53 Ti mid-range drivers. I had Bob build a band-pass roll off. I have been extremely happy with the results. Best regards, John -
Enjoying stereo after many years away
John Chi-town replied to RottenPilot's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
2 ears, 2 speakers has always been my philosophy. Whether it be music or video. Nice set up you received from the wife. The RF7 II really need some wattage for the bass to open up. May want to add a sub-woofer for lower listening levels.. Welcome to the forum. Best regards, John -
Place the forte II about 15 inches outward from rear wall and adjust accordingly. Those passive radiators need room to breath. You now own one of the most balanced Klipsch speakers ever made. Best regards, John

Get a pair of forte II. Problem solved. Best regards, John

Porting a Chorus ii ?
John Chi-town replied to MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE's topic in Technical/Restorations
I believe passive radiator is better, why do you think they went from ports to passives on the Chorus II? Best regards, John -
John Oliver Has A Profanity-Filled Message For Paris Attackers
John Chi-town replied to MyOwn's topic in Lounge
INMHO 10 armed citizens would have made a world of difference in that nightclub, etc. I carry on a daily basis because of the fact that the world has been upside down for the past 20 years or so. The Europeans decided to give up their guns along with Australia and others. Now many want them back. Good luck! Now Obama, Hillary and other liberal progressives want to take Americans guns away. Let them try. Who is ready for another civil war? Best regards, John -
