resh333 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I have a pair of Forte and I think after 23 years of hard use they are dying......Does anyone know if the Hersey III is comparable to the Forte... Also, are my old Fortes repairable....Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Also, are my old Fortes repairable....Thanks Resh333, Welcome to the forum. Yes, 23 years old Forte's are repairable. A new set of caps and maybe titanium diaphrams will set you back about $100.00. Contact Bob Crites @ critesspeakers.com/. Unless the woofers or the midrange horn are blown, you need not spend any more than that. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastlane Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 If you have a blown woofer or midrange, I have spares that I would sell. If you love your Fortes, it would likely be cheaper to freshen them up than buy new speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend the $100 bucks....Heresys are great but the low tones the Fortes will play make them one of my favorite speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon summit Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I've got both Forte IIs and a pair of Heresy (not sure the proper plural for Heresy so I just say I have a pair... [:$]). If I had to pick on of the two as my only pair of speakers I'd pick my Forte IIs. I'm assuming Forte/Heresy would be almost the same.
