Hi Bob, Welcome to the forum Certainly not a crazy idea Probably would work ... are you thinking of building a set? However, slowly starting to think trying to add "non-pro" Klipsch speakers is just going to be a mismatch with the 510/691 horns OK; the Eminence Pro woofers just arrived Will hook them up and let you know the results - withing a couple of days. Cheers, Emile

Awesome place! Definitely "the space" for Grand MCM's Or ... if you are "not ready" for those, I would consider some smaller Pro speakers like the KPT-942-T. (I have the 904 version with the smaller 510 horns ... but haha, you have the room for the larger 904 horns ) https://web.archive.org/web/20130603050449/http://www.klipsch.com/kpt-942-t Sorry for spending your money

OMG ... tasty

Haha ... long drive from the Florida beaches to Tennessee hills Was just "chiming in" and amazed at some of the bargains I see. Jeez ... I paid seven HUNDRED for mine (OK; for 3). Cheers, Emile

Haha ... $70 makes sense now

Ha; see what you mean But ... why would a spammer try to collect 5-10 email addresses via CraigsList?

Looks VERY good for $70 If I were closer I would take a look ... haha, with $70 cash.

Bob Cries has the black fabric ... used it and it's very nice https://critesspeakers.com/speaker_fabric.html

Haha Just take the grilles off ... and use them as a template for new ones .. very easy ... only need a circular and a jig saw - or someone can do it for you for $20. Then buy the covering material you want ... cheap at many places, but if you want the real stuff it's $80 (?) from Bob Crites ... https://critesspeakers.com/speaker_fabric.html . Staple and/or glue it ... SimplySpeakers.com has pretty good glue, but sure you can find it locally. Yeah ... $200 saved Cheers, Emile Add-on ... Don't forget to spray paint the wood. Haha; I forgot when I made a small pair of grilles for K-510 horns and had to do it "again." Also; the eBay guy used 1/4 inch mdf ... I build some grilles for my KPT-904's (bit larger than CW) using 3/8" plywood and it warps a bit

Awesome I should have gotten them but just NO room left. (Have a pair of 904's.) Have fun with them!

Hi EBEB, Welcome to the forum Have tried a bunch of amps on my Forte's Marantz 1030 (15wpc), Marantz 1060 (30wpc), Marantz 2252B (52wpc), Yamaha CR1020 (100wpc) and a Crown K1 pro-amp (350wpc). Actually preferred the moderate power of the Marantz 1060 ... to me it had the best sound. If you do not want to go the "vintage" route, have heard some of the new Yamaha's (not heard on my Forte's) ... like the A-S801 ... and was pleasantly surprised. Cheers, Emile

Hi Rich; welcome to the forum OK; one more opinion Have Cornwall I's in my main listening room (as rears) and Forte I's in a small stereo room. The Forte's are "anemic" compared to the Cornwall's If you like to play your music loud, there is no comparison, Just ordered some PRO woofers to replace the regular ones in the Forte's ... OK; trying to get these Forte's to play "evenly" with K-510 horns ... very "knowledgeable" people on this forum have advised me that I might get "close" to Cornwall's using this approach Good luck! Cheers, Emile

Haha ... had me there Was wondering what those dual woofer , dual horn speakers were ...they looked very interesting. OK; stacked Heresy's ... still awesome

99.9% sure the Marantz 2270 will be great Had a Marantz 2252B (52wpc) on (800W) KPT-904's. Awesome, very detailed and loud enough for the neighbors to enjoy Switched to a Crown K1 amp (about 400wpc) and think (?) there is a slight difference ... tighter bass and better highs ... but would have no problem putting my 2252B back in Sorry; no clue on the Outlaw ... but's it is "only" 110wpc ... may get you "1dB" extra, but not much more than your Marantz. Cheers, Emile

Pretty sure about this ... if I'm wrong someone will certainly "chime' in. If you run speakers opposite of each other, the sound waves start cancelling (and/or reinforcing) each other. If you change the speaker wiring on the back ones (red wire to black post, black to red) it will negate this problem. Have fun

Haha ... you already know you are going to buy these Good luck negotiating a better price

Haha ... why not? I have KPT-904's up front and Cornwall's in the rear (on a separate amp). Don't use the rears often, but sounds incredible If you do, remember to chance the phase on the rears to avoid "cancellation." Haha; just buy another set for your office Cheers, Emile

Welcome to the forum. Haha ... YES, "that's what this is all about."

Sorry, but never called you a "madman" ... my "Madman" reference was to @Madman1 And apologize for "jumping on you." You'll find out we are pretty nice here ... haha, sometimes a bit too opinionated.

Hi Pal, Haha ... guess @Ski Bum found them for you No clue about availability of used amps in Norway, but you may want to check out musician/guitar/etc stores. In the US these places have hundreds of Crown (and other) pro-amps. One more FYI ... I have an older (20 yrs ?) Crown K1 - excellent for hi-fi - and NO fans. Just got a XLS402 (about 5 yrs old) WITH a fan ... sounds nice but you can hear the fan when the music stops I may try one of the newer (smaller/lighter) XLS models ... think the fan rarely kicks on (during "home" use). Skol, Emile

Smart move ... always TEST ... but admit I have bought several speakers w/o trying them

Too big? Nah ... can never go too big ... remember we do have volume controls ... too big at half volume is much more defined than "just right size" at full volume

Bidding ended at $780 ... did you buy them?

Update Yes; dual 12's or even a single 15" will be THE way to go. But, having a knee replacement in 3-4 weeks so won''t be able to do much lifting/fabricating for a couple of months Had some GREAT PM discussions with @wvu80 and @moray james (THANK YOU guys) and first going to try a pair of Pro woofers (Eminence Delta 12LFA) in my Forte cabinets. Moray thinks it might get me close to Cornwall's. Hey; for $150 it's worth a try OK; will probably build another box in 3 months ... stay tuned. Many thanks for everyone's input! Cheers, Emile

Welcome to the forum Interesting ... looks like he has redone the fronts ... oversized? If they are 100% "operational," I would go for it if you can live with the appearance. Good luck! Think @wvu80 keeps track of prices ... hope he can "chime in" for you.
