A 9 volt battery under the back of mine works well
on top of my 55" Hitachi TV.
-
I have a friend that has one that he wants to sell. I bought a pair of Fortes from him
and they are in great shape. I saw the sub and it is in good shape as well. I think he wants
$225 for it. I know that he does not have the original box. PM me if interested and I will let
him know.

25 watts of class A power.
Use one of these with a tube pre and I believe
you would be in bliss.

How about just running with a phantom center until
funds are available.
-
After the fiasco with the Academy, I am thinking of
using a Heresy II as a center for my Fortes. I would
like to split a pair of walnut oiled Heresy IIs with
someone if interested.
E-mail me @ aab3rd@bellsouth.net if interested or PM me.
Thanks,
Austin

This is not a sales pitch, but I have one for sale
on Audiogon right now. I will take $300 plus shipping
for it. I do have pics if interested.

Mabe two more C-7s used as mains?
-
Here is the link to the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14992&item=3004914379
The person who I bought it from posted about
wanting to sell it here under the username
dnelon.
It was plainly damaged due to poor packaging
by the business who he used to pack and ship it.
I have had UPS pick it up for inspection.
I hope I do not get screwed.

I had a pair of CF-1s until just reciently. They were
my first pair of Klipsch speakers. There is no GREAT
match for rears for the Epic line except another pair
of epic speakers. A lot of people do not have room for
floor standing rear speakers so you will have to compromise
if that is the case.
Klipsch's WDST speakers such as the RF-7 or the older
KSP-S6s would be an OK match. You could also go with
a pair of KV-4s (the true center for the epic line) if
you could find them. My suggestion, if you find one though,
is to put it to use as your center channel since it
is a better match than the KLF-C7.
Hope this helps,
Austin

Along the same lines, I had KLF-20 in my HT and bought
a pair of Forte Is. After listening to both I decided
to replace the KLFs with the Fortes because they sounded
better with music. They were smoother as tony's post
stated about the 30s vs. Chorus.

I bought a pair of Fortes a while back because they
were a good deal ($400) and decided to replace my
KLF 20s with them since I liked the sound of the
Fortes better for music.
Before I put them in my HT an ACADEMY came up for sale
on e-bay. You know how rare that is. Low and behold I
won the Academy. After a delay in shipping since the owner
is away on business a lot, it finally arived.
I tore open the box with great eagerness. After pulling
the speaker out, I found out IT WAS DAMAGED IN SHIPPING.
Four of the corners were dinged, there was a ding on
the top back edge, and a CRACK down the back side of
the speaker.
I am now sending it back for reimbursement. THANKS UPS!!!
You know, this is terrible when there are so few of
these out there. It ought to be against the law.
The search continues.
BTW the KLF 20s and C-7 I have are for sale.

I run the 950 with a Marantz MM9000 and a MA6100.
I used KLF 20s (which have changed to Fortes) and I thought
that the sound was great. To clean up some space
I am thinking of selling the two Marantz amps and
get the Outlaw 7100 (7 X 100w) amp when it comes out
the end of this month or the beginning of next month.
100 watts should be enough to drive the Fortes to extreme
levels without any problem.
If I do this, I will post a comparison review.
-
Actually, Keith, I thought they recomended the RS-7s.
I might be wrong though. I use a pair of KSP-S6s and
they work great. There is a pair on E-bay right now.
BTW I just got an Academy off of E-bay so I am selling
my KLF-C7 if anyone is interested. I am going to
use a pair of Fortes for my mains and sell my KLF-20s as
well.

I have a Sunfire MK II for sale on Audiogon.
Listed at $800 but will take $750. I have original
box and manual. Only had it about nine months. Perfect condition.

Actually, DTS ES has two versions-DTS ES Matrix and
DTS ES Discrete. DTS ES Matrix is encoded such that
the rear center is matrixed into the side surround
signal and then decoded in the processor. DTS ES
Discrete has a separate discrete channel for the rear
center. DD EX (and THX EX) are encoded like DTS ES Matrix.
The signal for the rear center is encoded into the side
surround channels and decoded in your processor.
The matrix process for DD EX/THX EX and DTS ES Matrix is
similar to the old Pro-Logic encoding for the center
channel except that the signal encoded into the sides
is a full bandwith channel.
There is not much out there in DTS ES Discrete. Most
disks encoded in DD/DTS 5.1 can be played in DD EX or
DTS ES Matrix with varying quality of results for a rear center even though they are not encoded in EX/ES.
-
I have a pair of CF-1s on e-bay which you could use as
front and rear center.

Yep, that is me, and the speakers are flawless.
I am also going to sell my KLF-20s and C-7.
I am going to go with my Fortes since I like the
sound from them a little better than the KLFs, but just
a little. I do like the walnut finish on my Fortes better
than the black ash of my KLFs.
If anyone is interested in the KLFs let me know.

How about the nOrh Se-9 integrated amp for $399 shipped.
It is a EL 34 based amp with two imputs and volume control.
I think I am going to get one to get into tubes with the Fortes I just bought.
Colin has tested one of these but I have not seen a full review.

Shoe,
I have a Sunfire MKII for sale. I will let The Ears tell you about it so as not to try to "sell" it to you. It is a great sub but I am giong to get something with a wood veneer so as to match a pair of walnut Forte Is I just bought. If interested e-mail me at aab3rd@bellsouth.net or PM me. It is in perfect condition with box and manual and it was bought from an authorized dealer in Memphis, TN.
Center channel match for Forte II
in Home Theater
Posted
I have somewhat of the same question. I sold an
Academy and other speakers to help with my son's
medical bills. I decided to keep my Forte Is, to
the disdain of a forum member (which I am sorry for).
Since I have now acumulated enough money from the
sale of speakers, a motorcycle, and other items to
help pay for medical expenses, I am going to buy
a center speaker for my Fortes.
I know about the Academy, KLF-C-7, and KV-4, and that to most that have auditioned both the KV-3
works better with the Fortes than the KV-4.
What I want to know is wether anyone has used a
KSF-C5 or KSP-C6 for a center with Fortes and
espically wether they have compared them to the
KV-3. Also, I would like to hear from people who
have used both an older center and a newer center
like the RC-3(II). Which is better match with
Fortes?
I know (from experience) that the Academy is best.
I just want opinions about the KV-3, KSP-C6, KSF-C5 and
the RC-3 or RC-3II. Which works best since ALL of these
go for less than the Academy!!!!!!!!!!!!
