Sticking with the Forte II's. After Crites mods (over recap and Ti tweeter diaphragms) and finding good placement in the room (15" off long wood wall), I feel they sound great. I did feel with elevating them 10" off the floor they became more dynamic. I might build some stands.

I have an opportunity to pick up some minty LS in birch. All original /no mods. My listening area is approximately 30'x12'x9'h all wood and large glass windows. Initially, I will match to Onkyo A9070 amp with Thorens 125 mkII TT. I plan to mod the LS with Crites goodness and upgrade to tubes in a year or so. In everyone's opinion based on what I have outlined, are the LS an upgrade over my Forte II's with Crite's upgrades and worth the $1500.00? thx... BS

Room size (elongated) and surfaces (wood and glass) has been the biggest struggle getting my big Forte II's to work to my satisfaction. I tried a lot of different amps and receivers thinking that I would find the "one"-I am happy to report that I am finally in place of joy. This "hobby" can be frustrating and spendy.

How much for the Cornwalls? Interested.

Last bump then off to CL.

Spent a rainy morning upgrading the Forte II's with the Crites Ti tweeter diaphragms and replacing the caps on the x-overs. Breaking them in now.

Love the Onkyo. Pushing the phono stage with the Forte IIs with clear, distortion-free power to spare.
