    Forte I's Woofer/Passive Driver Issue

    Bottom Line - Poor isolation of the turntable.  Subtract the subwoofer, get a serious isolating stand,  and if needed, use a subsonic filter if you want to keep the turntable close to the speakers.  Problem is will you miss anything when you add the subsonic filter.

     

    When I was a kid, I had a 12x15 room with a 4 foot deep dormer.  Kept the equipment in the dormer (second floor) including the turntable.  Used to crank my Frazier Mark Va's to crazy levels.  Never an issue tracking at light weights on cartriges like Stanton 681eee, Sure v15, and ADC cartridges.

    So you think a nice isolation platform would solve the issue?  I was thinking about getting a wall mount and putting the isolation platform on that too.  Thoughts?

    Hello all,

     

    I recently got a set of Forte's and I love them already.  They sound great, but I plan to get the Crite's upgrades soon. I've noticed an issue with the front and passive woofers though.. When I turn the volume up too high (higher than I usually play them) the woofers begin to kind of lose control and become very distorted, they start to shake violently and the only way to stop it is to turn the volume back down.  This only happens with vinyl also, not with CDs.  The needle/cartridge on my turntable are only about 7mo/1.5years old, respectively.  Anybody else experience this or know how I might go about fixing this?

     

    This is my first post on here btw, many forums have been helpful to me in the past.  I couldn't find a post with this specific problem so I decided I would post it myself. 

     

    Any help is greatly appreciated!
