RobertK Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi, I have a pair of Forte IIs, a pair of KG 1.2s and a KV-3 center speaker. They all have the clear oak finish. I am now looking into getting a used pair of KG 2.2s or 2.5s. Does anyone know if the light oak finish is the same as the clear oak finish? Thanks, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted November 19, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2010 Not sure, but I have Forte ll's in Oak clear and a Oak oil and they are very close to the same color/shade of Oak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCliff Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 The clear oak is lighter shade, to me almost white lookin. My clear oaks were on a mid 90s pair of Chorus II and they were much lighter when new then my light oak KG 5.5s. As a matter of fact my wife was so upset with how light they were, because they did not go with our other woodworking trim, which were golden oak; I had to refinish them to keep her happy. I must admit though after all the work was done I do like how they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertK Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Thanks for the info. My clear oaks have a rich golden hue, but maybe thats because the finish has been aging for 16 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My clear oaks have a rich golden hue, but maybe thats because the finish has been aging for 16 years! Mine also, this is a Oak oil, I can't see a difference in color from the other set of Oak clear in the same room. Age could have made them a little darker ? I use Linseed oil on them and just wipe off the clear with a damp cloth.....right now they need it there dusty ! [:$] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertK Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Your clear oaks and oak oils are on two different pairs of Forte IIs? In the same room? Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
