RT FAN Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I agree with HVN and like the term "Extended Heritage". PWK worked on them and that's good enough for me. Besides, they sound awesome. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbajner Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I diagree, they are Heritage since they where in Klipch brochures along with Klipschorn, La Scala and Heresy they have the 3 way speaker design which is Heritage, not like the two way desgins of later product lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 7, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2010 I think they should be Heritage but I am biased. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbon summit Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I saw this too but can't remember where. It did group the Forte or Forte IIs in with the Heritage line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon summit Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ok I found what I saw, the 1990 Klipsch line up. It doesn't really call them Heritage. Whatever the Forte IIs are called I'm happy with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 The Fortes were introduced in the mid '80s by Klipsch as part of the Heritage series. However, only after four years Klipsch discontinued producing the Fortes. For some reason I've never found that familiar heritage sound in the Fortes. They never sound the same as the Heresies, Cornwalls and La Scalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadklipsh Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 carbon summit id like to know hows ur experience from ur fortes are they better than rf 3s by far a margin or just the mids r better bcoz of the midrange horn? hows the overall delivery of sound and experience do they beat jbls of the same age and prices adios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I disagree. I think heritage should be grouped separately as a timbre-matched series. The Heresys through the Khorns all have a similar 3-way horn design with the same sonic signature. You can put them all in a HT or a 3-way setup and be happy with the seamless timbre matching. Don't the Fortes, Chorus and Quartets, etc. have a different sonic signature? Isn't it the tritrax horn that differentiates it from the heritage line or was that just in series II? The Legend Series got its own name as did reference, synergy and KG (although was KG really the official name of a line?). Does it really matter?[:^)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no fear I'm sure plenty of guys have and can give you a good comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The originals and II's had/have a smoother sonic signature than the cone bass heritage line, to my ears anyway, and the all horn loaded heritage models are a different animal all together. You're right it doesn't matter what they are called, I wouldn't turn my nose up at any of the models in these lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
