What is CL, cause I'm selling mine too

Well I'm glad it's not just me. Because I did what you just did and got the same results. I started to put numbers together ignoring whether it said P/N or S/N, didn't matter. Some day I'll identify them. Thanks guys Tommy

OK, I'm probably an idiot because I still can't identify these speakers. Here is a picture of the sticker on the back, can someone tell me a little about my speakersThanks in advance Tommy

Thank you sir. I'm sure I'll looking through your tech section to find parts and advice. Tommy

Now I can't seem to find my speakers on that chart.

Well that's great news Moray. I kind of need someone to talk me out of getting rid of them. I always wanted a pair of Klipsch from when I heard this guys system, a long time ago. They were x air force guys. And they using turn tables that were hung from the ceiling because of the DBs. When I got these, 3 years ago, I just didn't and don't have a good deck to drive them.

Hi Guys I own a pair of Forte II. I was wondering how to read and get info out of the sticker on the back. I found it before but forgot where. Any help would be great. I'm considering selling them soon. I live in Branson MO. Thanks in advance Tommy It says P/N 09000531111 FII Oak Oil S/N 60765 W/O 11938

I was playing the speakers the other day. The room that they are in is too small so when I play them I have to bring them out. The bass was much better being not against the wall that's for sure. How do you think the speakers sound when they are sitting out in the middle of the room? Do they have to have something behind them like a wall? Because the low end was much better. The midrange did not sound right. I think it has to do with what I'm driving them with. I'm using a vintage Sansui 7000. It's a very heavy receiver with a speaker chanell A,B, and C. I also have an old Pioneer receiver. Next I'll try the pioneer

Thank you so much for the reply. I know have the positive and negeative the right way. One speaker is about 4 inches away from wall, the other about 3 inches. I would love to put these babies in a bigger room, but I can't. My wife is a pro audio engineer. No matter what I come up with she doesn't seem to think it's anything great. I don't know if I'm exspecting too much low end response when I don't have it crank up. It's promoted as a loud speaker. It's started to bug me, thinking, LOUDSPEAKER. Thinking that maybe they only sound good when they are loud, I don't know. I will try moving them to the living room while she's out and see what happens. About finding out when these were made. Now that I'm at the house, here are the numbers on the back of speaker P/N 0900053111 FII Oak Oil S/N 60766 W/O 11938 One of the speakers has a horrible square stain, it's almost grey. Any ideas. Can I sand them and re stain it? Thanks Guys Tommy

I was trying to find out what year my Forte 2s were manufactured. I viewed a post on here the showed how to decipher the numbers. But mine are nowhere near those numbers. I'm doing a show right now and can't remember all of the numbers but I do know that the first 4 were 0090 and the last numbers were 1111. Any ideas. I always wanted a pair of Klipsch speakers. And finally got them. They are in a very small room and not even facing the same way. I thought they were supposed to have big bass but didn't hear it. I actually bought a powered sub the other day. Then while reading on this forum, someone mentioned a proper distance between the wall and the back of the speaker, which makes sense with a 15 passive there. But what is the recommended distance. Last thing is that back in the day, it seems everyone had big power. Then there was a change to lighter more effecient low wattage amps. I have this huge old Sansui 7000 vintage that I had the Fortes on. It get's hot, so I put an older Pioneer reciever in that room to drive the Klipsch. I then read on here somewhere that the Forte 2s would rather see a low wattage amp anyway. Any opinions would be gratly appreciated. Thanks Tommy
