Nivrock, have you replaced the caps on your 78 Heresys?
-
i had the chorus ii's confused with the forte ii's for a minute there.. Forte II's stand no chance compared to a cornwall.
-
Cant speak on behalf of the Chorus II's, but the Cornwalls are a mighty fine speaker.
-
I would not use that $0.78 resistor in a E or E2 network. They impose their own sonic characteristics which takes away all the subtle details. They will make a good speaker system sound like clock radio speakers. I recommend Mills or a higher quality resistor.
-
I have also wanted to recap my CWII's , I purchased the caps but never installed them because I like the sound of the original CWII's that much..
-
I have had 2 pairs of Forte II's and I currently have a pair of Cornwall II's.. No comparison at all. The cornwall is better in every way.. CWII has much better bass response, a nicer midrange, and better top end, and a much more balanced sound. I sold both pairs of Forte II's with no regret to this day, but I don't think I will ever sell my CWII's.

I own Heresy I's and I use the EQ on my amplifier to turn up the bass. They sound nice to me and I listen to bass heavy hip-hop music.

I would put a thin layer of sealer on both sides of the gasket.. this is much better than gobbs of sealer with no gasket.

Just my opinion, but it seems like the Forte is a speaker that some people love while other people find all the imperfections unlistenable. I find myself in the group of people who find them unlistenable... either that, or there was major quality control issues going on at the time of their production.

I am with you on this topic. I was never happy with my Fortes either. I had 2 different sets of Forte II's over the past 5 years, and obviously sold them both. I only purchased the 2nd set because they were $300, so I figured I could easily flip them for close to double that... and that is exactly what I did, sold them for close to $600.
-
Okay, so you are suggesting that my Forte II's had problems like a used car... Uh no.. They were in great shape with no problems.. Just a very critical ear.. They were not like a used car with problems. Nobody ever said they had problems. I just mentioned that I felt the crossover point from mid to tweeter seemed a bit off and the tweeter was a bit loud.. Some other forum member have created mods to correct it, for instance: inserting foam in the tweeter horn, or even ping pong balls??? I sold them before I would have to insert objects in the horns to tame the sound.

I used to the own a pair of the highly praised Forte II's but sold them because I did not like the way they sounded.. Seemed like the crossover point from mid to tweeter was off, and also seemed like the tweeter was playing too loud.. 2 things that made them sound not so good to my ears. I could never figure out why people rave about them so much.. yes they sounded nice with some music, but not all. About 50% of my music sounded good with them.... and movies, they didnt sound good either.. dialogue of the human voice often sounded weird. Almost embarrassing when I had people over to watch a game on TV, yeah they sounded that weird sometimes. Other members here have had the same experience as I had. I enjoy my reference line of speaker better, and also my Heresys and Cornwalls. Now those are nice sounding speakers.

Raw birch, and serial numbers in the back,, yeah that sounds like a Cornwall I. My CWII's have veneer, not raw birch, and do not have serial numbers on the back.

I have a pair of 1985 Cornwall II's.. the kind without the removable backs.. mine also have the woofer and horns mounted in front of the motorboard, and have a K-57 midrange driver and K-79 tweeter driver instead of the k-55/k-77 combo.. They are the nicest sounding speakers I have owned.. I cannot see myself ever getting rid of them, they sound that nice, and I have been around the block with Klipsch speakers. If you are thinking about getting them, I would highly recommend them.. They have everything you need a speaker system: Deep strong bass, a midrange that few can compare with, highs that sparkle just the right amount, a very well balanced crossover and very good efficiency. What more can you ask for?

So true, it could be a good time to invest and capitalize. -
Looks like Scotty knows what I'm talking about. Exaggerating a little?.. yeah maybe a little.

Emotiva Amps That Pair Well with Heritage Series Speakers
Bossman replied to jayu969's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I use a UPA-200 for my Cornscalas. Sound is very nice and has plenty of power. -
I am only 15 minutes from Long Beach, but I don't have 7 bills to drop on speakers right now.
-
I am in the exact same situation with a pair of KG3's.. One bad woofer..
