On an impulse, I bought some Forte I's from their original owner off a CL ad. I brought them home and put them up against my Snell Type A's. My initial reaction was that the Snells were more musical and smoother and the Fortes were fun with deep bass and a forward, involving sound. But the bass was a little flabby. I did more listening and am reaching the conclusion that I care more about the energy/fun factor the Fortes give me vs. the sophistication of my big Snells. So I want to make the Fortes better. I want to tighten up the bass and get more clarity in the highs - I expected the highs to be bright, but they aren't. Here's what I plan on doing (I'd love some input): - I've already ordered Crites crossover caps and tweeter diaphragms - Dynamat on the horns - wood glue along interior seams to better seal against air leakage (when I push the passive radiator in, the woofer comes out and returns to its starting spot in about 1 second) - remove all drivers and add rope caulk when reinstalling them and round terminal cup to get a better seal - add weight to passive radiator using pairs of small disc magnets (not sure if this is going to help with the flabbiness - I care more about tightening the bass up rather than increasing extension) I've read that I should also seal the grill hole openings, but don't know exactly how to do that. Are these the right things to be doing? Thanks in advance.
