The Academy is the center channel speaker that best integrates with the Extended Heritage line. Chorus series, forte series, etc. Best regards, John

Bob Crites also sells a replacement woofer for the forte & forte II Best regards, John

Derrick; Just remove the grills and look at the diaphragm through the tweeter and squawker horns. If you see a shiny silver diaphragm through either, than almost certainly titanium. Best regards, John

PM Sent. Best regards, John

forte II, Chorus II or CF4 will meet all your expectations along with change in your pocket! Best regards, John

Glad to hear your enjoying the new crossovers. Now take it to the next level with titanium diaphragms in the tweeters and squawkers. Completely reversable if you dont like the upgrade, Best regards, John

Very Nice Chorus II South Suburbs, $699.00 INMHO a better blanced speaker than the Cornwall, as well as a tractrix mid range horn. http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/ele/5075494536.html Best of luck with your search, John

He and Peter Cushing starred in over 20 Hammer horror Films together. I liiked him the best in 50's to 70's Hammer Horror. Both were true gentlemen, the likes you rarely see these days. Both Christopher and his father were war heroes. Christopher was in the English Special Forces during WWII, and even hunted Nazi's for a peiod of time for the English government. Best regards, John

So which do you prefer the Heresy or forte II? If you could only keep one pair? Best regards, John

Very nice forte's! Best of luck on your sale. Best regards, John

Joel Simple repair. The dust cover that is pushed in will have no effect on the sound. Just repair the 3 small holes. Klipsch no longer manufactures the passive radiator for the Chorus II or Forte II. So you would need to find a pair on the used market. Personally I would wait for a nicer pair. There are a beautiful pair of Forte II for under $600.00 in the alerts section. INMHO a better balanced speaker even more so than the Chorus II, and it digs deeper. Either the Chorus II or Forte II will be a big step up from the 5.2's. I would recommend you stick with 2nd version of eithe for the tractrix squawker. Best regards, John

I agree 100% with Opus's advice. Forte II INMHO has a better midrange with the tractrix horn. I have owned mine for close to 25 years. Allows for a wider soundstage, and less off axis listening. Unless you have a subwoofer in the equation, you will probably be disappointed in the lack of bass with any Heresy version. I am not a bass head by any means. Ray Delguado, excuse spelling of Rays last name if I butcherd; was the head engineer on the extended Heritage line that the Quartet, Forte, and Chorus line fall into. Ray is one very respected engineer. You owe yourself a listen to the forte II and chorus II versions before pulling the trigger on the Heresy. If nothing else it will only validate your decision to purchase the Heresy. Best regards, John

Oldtimer. you are probably right regarding average price. When I bought mine new in 92, I bought in conjunction with some earlier Adcom seperates, than what I own now. Pulled the receipt and my clear oak finished forte II sold for $1,000.00 a pair at United Audio back in the day. My actual sale price was $850.00 for the pair when discounted with the other components I bought at the time. So perhaps the oiled finish models were $1200.00 LP?

INMHO a pair of forte II in this shape, regardless of finish color are worth every penny of the current asking price. Sold on average for a $1,000.00 a pair in early 90's. A speaker that will last a lifetime and among Klipsch's best designed/balanced speakers ever. What else comes close at $600.00 a pair? I must admit my opinion may be biased since I pulled mine fresh out of the carton back in 92........ Best regards, John

Best Buy as well.... When I bought about a year ago their sale prices were as good as any on the internet. Best regards, John

How do you plan on getting them to the Ukraine? I would check Craigslist in NJ, NY area. Shipping could be a deal breaker to Ukraine unless you have a couple grand set aside for shipping. Best of luck in your search. John

Sorry for the double post! Best regards, John

No affiliation..... Some forum member should snag these before they are gone! http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/ele/5025180510.html Best regards, John

Not sure either, as I was never a fan myself..... Perhaps Punky Meadows knows??? Best regards, John

I bought mine back in early 1992 at United Audio which had a large presence in Chicagoland "Back in the Day" Long defunct. Anyway they delivered directly from their warehouse and boxes are still undamaged. They moved a lot of Klipsch many moons ago. Best regards, John

Was there any damage to the speaker? Best regards, John
