if an LS with a new sub actually sounds better than a Khorn without a sub , I wonder if a Khorn with a sub + a K-402 would sound pretty close to a Jubilee 1st gen

the Tangent T-400 cabinets were 5/8 thick so still decent , there were no complaints ,

I was talking of the Trade Secret https://www.tradesecret.ca/scratch-removers-for-wood/ dark bottle for Walnut , it works on raw veneer , it's dark oil

the tangent larger 400 series, the cabinets were made with fiber board , the cabs were not veneered and there was use of vinyl

4 to 6 inch horn ????? ,the most common horns have a throat diameter of 1,4 or 2 inches

I tried

@wayneair you can get a much better finish on these speakers if you buy a bottle of ... TRADE SECRET ...dark formula , sold on Amazon

Toronto is definitely a big City and Ontario is huge, since you like the Forte , there are 4 versions , the Forte speakers have bass , lots of bass , , I would go for the Forte III since it was a very big improvement over the Forte II , it is crucial for you to audition older LS speakers , because the new AL-5 2 piece cabs do not sound anything like older 1 piece LS cabs .

they dont make em like they used to

Lascala and Forte speakers are completely different speakers , the Forte is a bass reflex cabinet with prominent bass , the LS is a folded horn speaker with much less bass , but the mids are more articulate due to a larger mids horn , I would recommend that you listen to a pair of Lascala and see if they please you , on the other hand , the Forte IV is a serious improvement over a Forte 1 .

the Chief said it could be done , but how ? may still be a secret

it's an excellent amp

you're very right , clean SS power is the way to go for the long haul , no tubes to replace ever , no adjustments needed , no tune-ups , no repairs for 10-20-30 years , the perfect example , with an excellent pre-amp , Yamaha A-S-1000 or 1100 or 1200 , and yes quality matters , a cheap SS amp will not do
