Nice drivers and a good price. I agree they sounded better to me than any k-55v I compared them to including the dual phase plug version. Good luck with your sale!

Dammmmm! Ridiculous deal right here if I were close I'd be all over these

I stood them up vertically and rotated the horns easily bested the 75's IMO

The best small speaker that I have found that sounds like a big speaker made by Klipsch, no sub required (obviously debatable and room dependent) is the RC-7 center speaker ran as a stereo pair. They have dual 8" woofers and a 1.75" compression driver and they're not much bigger than the biggest "bookshelf" speaker. A runner up would be the RP-160's.

My dad is 71 and a T2D- Surprisingly not really overweight just eats like an 7 year old would if given the chance. Sad thing is he was borderline Diabetic 15 years ago and cleaned it up with the Atkins diet, turned it around and kept it away for 8 years until he retired then I don't know, just quit caring? Now that he's starting to have mobility issues he's at least talking about trying to clean up his diet again.

Weekend bump- Have a couple leads but still need parts let me know what you have thanks! Jesse

Most certainly a Celestion driver: https://celestion.com/products/?fwp_product_catalogue=hf-compression-drivers

They look like original parts but cabinets and grill covers look home made to me?

I know there have been several people who have upgraded their forte III's to IV's I'm in the market for the old parts of at least one pair of speakers possibly two. Let me know what you have and how much you need for them thanks.

Picked up a Sunfire VTCC to pair up with my Carver RAM 285- what a sweet combo!

The Chorus cabinets are roughly 4.5cuft IIRC- the 301's may be different shape but should be close to the same size? From what I can recall I believe 7 inches was the optimal port length for the Chorus

I lived with the 396's for a few months over the summer I think they are a great mixed use speaker; background noise or playing them at mid to upper volumes they sound great. One thing they don't do well is lower volume critical listening. I mean they're pretty good I guess it would depend on what you're comparing them to. I switched back to my custom 335's recently (very close to forte IV's) and was pretty wow'd- the open and airy sound with a deep soundstage with excellent singer / instrument separation and detail stood out as that was just not there with the 396's.

The Chief razzes dude for going with a bi-radial horn in the video, says that's where people start from until they understand how horns work and pointed out that Klipsch used them 70 years ago.. but hey, they look cool!

Laid back- in a bad way? Have you readjusted any DSP or tone controls that may be in play? Played with the positioning of the speakers at all? Sometimes all you need is a few days to adjust to the new sound, I find it takes some time to get acquainted to equipment changes; sometimes when things sound off or bad initially they can settle in and sound wonderful but I've had it go the other way as well where something sounds great at first but gets tiresome or fatiguing after awhile.

Have you heard the new RP line? I really like the KG-2's as well but.. have not had or heard a pair in a long time, would be interesting to do some A-B-ing I guess
