The best thing to do is post a price and a few pictures. There are very few members here anymore. Be careful of the first-time posters trying to lead you away from here using emails or PMs.
GLWYSThanks I appreciate it. I will post some pictures in the next days.

No need to look inside the cabinet.. You can see the tweeter diaphragm just looking down the horn from the outside.

Confirming the tweeters are silver so most likely upgraded!

do you still have the original Klipsch Forte 1 parts
Hi unfortunately I don't. When I bought it I also received one new passive radiator since the currently installed one was pushed in and dented. I installed it on the affected speaker and that was a stock Klipsch part. My understanding is the only modifications are the crossovers and potentially the tweeters. I'm pretty sure the tweeters are Crites too. I plan to check in the next days and will report back.

Beautiful condition. They’ll go quick.
If you look inside the tweeter horn you’ll be able to see the dome of the diaphragm behind the phase plug. If it’s silver, it’s most likely titanium. Crites or otherwise.
Thanks for the tip I appreciate it. Yes I'll take another look inside the speaker base. I'm pretty sure the previous owner upgraded the tweeters too and will confirm.

Hi there!
After a few years of wonderful listening, I am selling my beloved Forte 1s with dark green grills. Consecutive serial numbers. To my knowledge I am the second owner and previous owner upgraded the speakers to Crites crossovers. I believe the tweeters are also Crites but I'm not certain. The sound is excellent. I've also applied a few coats of Tung Oil which give them a very nice finish. Two notes: 1) the white mark on the top of one speaker is just from paper left on it and can be removed - the veneer is not damaged. 2) The slight mark on the left of one of the speaker grills is just because it is slightly pushed in and is a light effect. It can also be easily fixed. I still have the original boxes for shipment. I can ship these but much prefer local pick up in Madison NJ.
Speaker Specifications - Each: WEIGHT: 56 Ibs./25.4 kg DIMENSIONS: Height: 35-3/8" (89.9 cm) Width: 16-1/2" (41.9 cm) Depth: 12" (30.5 cm)

Hi, I know this is 7 months old, just wondering if amp is still for sale? Thanks, Ted
Hi Ted thanks for checking. The amp is still for sale. -

With this amp, I assume that one has to bias power tubes? (Possibly why the seller doesn’t want to deal with tube headaches.)
That's correct, a bit annoying but really not the end of the world. The bias process just needs to be approximate and not exact and apparently only once every few months. I'm a first time tube owner so it's just something to learn. I'm having second thoughts about selling and will likely keep them and if needed put in a set fresh of tubes. Beyond the sound, these also look amazing especially when turned on and warmed up!!!

What’s the deal on these amps with the exposed board?
I wish I had that kind of extra cash right now...
I would say it's more of a "barebones" or "raw" amp. Nothing to worry about with the exposed board except you shouldn't touch it when the tube is on as you could get an electric shock. Just something to keep in mind and tell any curious guest that comes over - I haven't had any issues
. Like all tubes the amp does get warm and the stainless steel + exposed board definitely helps keep it cool(er).
It's a heck of an amp. Bob Latino knows what's up. Definitely try to give these a try at some point to see for yourself.

Hi folks,
After almost three years of enjoyment, i'm selling my Dynaco ST 70 Bob Latino. For those not familiar, Bob Latino sells modernized versions of the classic Dynaco amplifier with enhanced and improved components. You can see more on his website here http://bob01605.50webs.com/.
The result is an excellent amp for the price with great components. I hooked these up to my Klipsch Forte 1s and the sound is..... fantastic. Especially 20 or so minutes in. The unit has "triode" and "pentode" mode, see the two switches in the middle of the amp. These modes are useful to identify the sound you prefer. I would mostly use the amp in triode mode (smaller wattage).
I'm selling because I can't take the time to manage the tubes and I'm not so familiar with replacing them, etc. As a result, the unit is fully stock and I have not made any changes to the installed version upon delivery. The unit was fully built by Bob Latino's colleague.
My specific unit configuration is VTA ST-70 wired and tested with the EL34 tube set and capacitor upgrade.
I am located in New Jersey and prefer to sell locally but can sell nationwide too if there is interest.
Please see photos below and feel free to ask any questions. Thanks!

Okay, no offense, but why am I getting recommendations for Kilpsch Pro Audio?? I just wanted to keep this to the Heritage series. My Cornwalls are PLENTY powerful. I just thought maybe LaScalas offer a slighty higher sound quality at the expense of being bass-shy (which could possibly be remedied with more powerful subwoofers).
I appreciate the responses so far, but is this how it works on this forum (i.e. you mention Heritage series and start getting directed towards pro audio)??
Falcar - you didn't mention anywhere that you wanted to stick to Heritage. I would be more open minded in the future. Forum members responded to your questions thoughtfully and suggested Pro as well as Heritage models. They are just trying to help. The least you can do is be respectful in return.

Perfect! Years ago, my dad picked up five red oak solid core doors at an auction for $5.00 each. I used one as the top of a computer desk, and it was nice to have the 32 in depth for the CRTs.
TCSMs are what you are trying to do...
That's encouraging thx Marvel. I hope to find something not too expensive. Yep TCSMs looks like the professional ideal setup. I like analog and old schools setups like doors 😁 much more charisma !!! The rest of my system will be analog too - tubes and vinyl

Pick up 4 solid core doors, check them out for the weekend and then determine that they must be returned.
That's an excellent idea. Thank you USNRET and jimjimbo. Solid wood will project so much better than cardboard!
Cheers, Alex

Big wooden boxes, or big cardboard boxes?
Cardboard boxes were my initial idea since they are relatively more simple.

Hi folks,
It's been a while since my last post but I am still a passionate Klipsch fan (perhaps more than ever!). I am hosting a small gathering in a few weeks and plan to take my Khorns for some fresh air (outside).
These are '79 Khorns and need some wall support for optimal sound projection. I was hoping you could advise me on how to build performing yet easy to make walls to replicate right angle corners of a room. My current plan is to go to Lowe's / Home Depot / UHaul and buy some big boxes that I can use specifically for this purpose.
Also, in terms of positioning, do you recommend I keep them as if they were in a square/rectangular room? I plan to test a few methods and see what gives.
Have a nice day and thanks in advance! Cheers, Alex
. Like all tubes the amp does get warm and the stainless steel + exposed board definitely helps keep it cool(er).
