OO1 replied to JohnA's topic in Klipsch Museum: News & Announcements

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

@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 .

keep the old wiring , clean up any corrosion on the Autoformers , check the zener diodes , the 245uH coil requires a brass screw .

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

JEM is a klipsch parts vendor , the installation is easy , do not twist wires or leads , do not use too much solder or heat , you can use crimping tools , the capacitor lead should not be compressed or twisted .

the stains can be removed with a magic eraser , TRADE SECRET sold on amazon will remove the scratches and it will oil the veneer at the same time , the contents are coconut oil mixed with colorants , no VOC's , no chemicals ..... wipe it on to restore the natural finish , that 's it .
