lobster999 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 lobster. how big is this room.n whetes ur listening chair usually. The room is 13x13... my love seat is a few inches off the back wall. It's equidistant from the speakers. I have three GIK acoustic panels hanging behind the seat which help a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could play that thing, but it's my 9 year old boy's guitar. It's a fairly entry level Ibanez. He's been playing for about a year now and is getting pretty darn good [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 That's great did the same with m son he is 20 now has a couple of guitars still plays has a lot of fun. The inexpensive enty level guitars can be very good these days. Not a lot of money but the look great and work very well. Best regards Moray James.

quadklipsh Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 a pair of fortes shipment charges between hope arkansas and lahore pakistan , can anyone guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hey Buddy: have you considered buying a pair of Forte ll here and having just the drivers and networks shipped to you in a solid well packed cardboard box? Build up a solid set of cabinets where you are. Driver weight for a set of Forte ll would be around 45 lbs total in the box. If you really want this make it happen. Works for me. Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironsave Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 GOD i love the looks of these cabinets .and the way they say these speakers sound , always gets me goose bumps Quad, Sorry to add to your frustration, but I recently got to hear Big Cliffs Fortes downstairs and Chorus IIs upstairs. All I can say is OUTSTANDING!!!!! Definitely have the Heritage sound.... with tight; accurate bass....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It gets even better. A Quarter uses the same mid and tweeter horn as the Forte ll the only difference is that a Quartet uses a single 10 " woofer and the Forte ll uses a single 12 " woofer/ The cost of a Quartet is generally much lower. For example there are a pair of Quartet; in Florida for sale at $275.00 the pair. The parts of a Quartet in a cardboard box weigh in at 37.5 lbs the pair and they will pack into about 1.5 cubic feet of space. Small and light enough to ship to where you are by Parcel post my guess $100.00 or less for shipping. The original owner can sell the empty cabinets with grills to someone who wants to upgrade their Heresy speakers for $50.00 each so everybody wins. You can build a set of cabinets 13" x 12.5" x 39" and you have the drivers at the exact right height. Estimate cost of the cabinets where you are $40.00 each or less. That's a good deal and it's affordable to do.Over time you can upgrade to the Titanium compression driver diaphragms and you then have a brand new set of speakers for a very reasonable cost. Just something to think about. Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Here is a pair of Chorus ll for $325.00 the pair. Have a look pretty good price. Pack each set of speaker guts into a separate box and they will go Parcel Post to Pakistan.

J M O N Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I purchased my WO Forte' on 11/05/1988 at Naval Air Station Sigonella for $649.99. They are now part of my HT system (12 x12 semi octagon room) How long were you in Sigonella? I was there from Oct '88 - Aug '89. I even took a second job at the Sight & Sound. Might've even sold you those speakers, but I don't think I started working there until sometime after Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Chi-town Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I have always believed that the Forte/Chorus line were the best bang for the buck in the Klipsch line factoring in real world considerations such as space, WAF, etc. I have onwed my forte II new since early '92. I have modified, some would say to the point of "Bastardization", but all of my upgrades are reversable, and the titanium tweets and mids are simply outstanding. Just to lazy to take a pic but 10/10 asthetics,etc. Clear oak finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Ah, well I probably didn't see you then. But who knows, I think I spent a lot of time at the Sight 'n Sound even before I started working there.
