Hello, new to the community. The fiancee and I are finally able to move out of our cramped 1 bedroom apartment to a proper home, which means I will finally have room for a proper audio experience. I have been looking at Klipsch's heritage line and believe it would be the best way to go. Coming from others in my audio social circles it is quite popular to buy the vintage Klipsch forte's and modify the crossover for a better sound profile. I have been looking for used online and have found 3 solid options for speakers that would be well suited for my situation.
I originally looked for forte II's and these two were are my options:
forte II great condition, stock. Price, $1100 for the pair. 1 hour 10 min drive one way.
forte II basically mint condition. Crossover already modified, Crites titaniam tweeters(something I had planned to do as well), $1500. 4 hour one way, willing to make a day trip out of it if worth it.
And then I stumbled on the cornwall II's:
From the pictures, it looks like its also near mint condition, stock. Price also $1500. On the way to where I will be traveling in a week so no commute factor. Color better matches our living room style(Fiancee's input).
I am leaning towards the cornwall's as they seem to have a great reputation within the lineup in general and I figure I can take time to swap things around as I see fit as I go. I also have a contact who puts together and does crossover changes often(but would have to ship it to me as he lives across the boarder) so access to that would be pretty smooth as well.
If it helps I also attached the blueprint of the living room space it would be in. Where it's marked TV is where we have our TV wall mounted now so it would be on either side of it at least for now. We wouldn't have two table areas shown in the blueprint so the couch area would be able to be pushed back to make room for more speaker clearance from the wall. So a lot of room to play around with speaker location wise.
Any input and recommendations you guys have would be very much appreciated!
