  1. I've got an Anthem MCA 225 g2, which is 225 watts per channel. It's brand new, I bought back in February the week before the new Schiiters came out. I'd like to buy two of the gjallarhorn just to see what it does in stereo and mono-block. I don't regret buying the Anthem, I just want MOAR!!! LOL!
  2. Schiit Modius and Anthem MCA 225 g2 with Forte Ones. Also Schiit Freya N preamp.
  3. The title says all of it, I think. Wiring a Heresy I as a Center Channel on a 2-channel amp. I have a set of Forte 1's and the guy I bought them from threw in a Heresy I. He said he used the Heresy as a center channel for home theater and I supposed he meant with a 2-channel amp. This past weekend, we watched John Wick 3 as the first movie just using the Fortes. The dialog was laid back. It was just different than with music and I thought using a center channel would resolve the issue, but I didn't want to go the way of a AVR. Can someone tell me how to wire the Heresy I up to the amp without killing something expensive? Setup: Schiit Freya N Preamp Anthem MCA 225 gen 2 amp Forte I's Heresy I
  4. Andrew typically reviews AVR type stuff with 2-channel gear sprinkled about from time to time. When I first started getting into hi-fi about four years ago, I watched everything he put out, but over time I moved towards 2-channel I watched less and less. He tends to use language coloring that just doesn't make common sense in a lot of reviews. Almost like he's trying to best himself from previous reviews. This is different. The tone and tenor of the review is different. I swear, there is an emotional vibe in this entire video that warrants a watch. Please watch it, you owe it to yourself if you're a Heritage fan!
  5. Well, he obviously didn't review these in his NYC apartment. Could you imagine? LOL
  6. I actually enjoyed reading through it. LOL
  7. I appreciate all you guys chiming in and giving some feedback!
  8. You know, after reading his website, I think "if it ain't broke, I'm not fixing it." I figured the crossovers could use refreshing, at least the capacitors. We're talking 40 year old speakers. But I'm thinking they'll do just fine.
  9. It took me a bit to figure where BEC was at, but I guess he's at ... https://critesspeakers.com
  10. So, what kind of pricing do they run?
  11. Hey guys, I just made arrangements to buy a nice set of Forte 1's. I haven't picked them up yet, but according to the pictures, they are very close to being perfect. Only a couple visible signs of wear and one of those is on the back (just a rubbing spot). The speakers and passive radiators are pristine, which is unusual from what I've seen in eBay and Facebook marketplace posts. Questions: Who is BEC and where's his website or whatever so I can look at caps or crossovers? Is it worth upgrading the speakers in the Forte I to newer model speakers? Got any thread links you think may be interesting to me? Thanks again for your input. I know this thread is from 2012, but hopefully you guys can wake up for me.
  12. So, guys...what's this worth? He still has them up for sale. It's about a 2 hour drive for me, but I haven't contacted him as of yet. What has Klipsch Restorations done to a set like this other than put this veneer on them? Did they swap out the speakers? Crossovers? What does Klipsch Restorations do when they "restore" a speaker? Thanks
