Montigue231 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I purchased a set of forte's not long ago locally. This is actually the second pair ive had. I do have a concern... The first pair i had sounded so musical and dynamic.. This pair i recently aquired sounds a little different. If I could use one word to describe them id use the word stail. Not near as dynamic as the first pair I had..stail and a bit dull. I was wondering if these could use new caps. not sure really . Could use some input here Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Monty, Assuming all drivers work, yes I do think you need updated crossovers. It should be as if you lifted a blanket off of the Fortes when the mod are done. Marshall and Mike helped(okay, did all the work) recap my Heresy crossovers and the difference in sound was very noticeable. Maybe your original Fortes had just been recapped before you bought them. I will eventually get Bob to build me crossovers for my Fortes. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2011 Assuming all drivers work, Just what I was thinking, sometimes it's hard to tell especially if it's only one driver, without getting close and covering the others. Like willand said then move on to the crossovers, were the crossovers done on your first set ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montigue231 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thx Bill....Dtel not sure. I aquired them on a trade with bonzo year or so ago.. He might of very well did the caps ill have to ask him. The difference is very noticable..have to get some work done on these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2011 It would be interesting if that big of a difference is new caps or something he did to the crossover. Everyone says there is a big difference but I have never done anything to mine so, I can't say. I use them for movies so it would be not cheap to do 6 of them. If i were using them for 2 CH it would be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
