Loudogp250 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) A few years ago I gave my dad a pair of RF 3 speakers. Today, he came over and we sat around listening to some LP's. My pair of forte's recently purchased from a fellow forum member where so wonderful that dad now wants a pair... So here they are. Willing to trade for a decent pair of 3 way Klipsch.

Schu Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 that's going to be a tough trade there... Nice looking listening room though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudogp250 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 This is his listing room. He introduced me to vinyl and I have never looked back..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) :thumbsup: For sure a Three way is going to bring that vinyl to life and you will probably never look back from that. Edited February 17, 2014 by Schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loudogp250 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Picked these up yesterday for dad. After hooking them up to his vintage pioneer and listing to some vinyl I can say they sound good. He likes the sound better than the RF 3. They are T-5000. Looks to have the same mid and high as my forte when they where stock. Edited March 18, 2014 by Loudogp250 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeker Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nice trade. very interesting. crite ti tweeters are a nice upgrade and eq them or update crossovers helps them too. Your dad just got an apparently very rare speaker! Peeps around here are saying their rare. I have 5000's and really like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert B. Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Dad (me) got his first pair of Forte's yesterday. Now my son wants some!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudogp250 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) @beeker the seller was running the RF 5 as his mains and wanted RF3 or the 5 for his rear. We did a even trade. I will definitely order Bob's diaphragms. @A1UC so many to choose from based on size of room etc. You should start a new thread and I can guarantee you will get a ton of suggestions especially in your price range. @Robert B.

Woofers and Tweeters Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yep, those do have the same mids and highs as Forte I. I have the T-3000. Glad the Forte are working out for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 oops but I see a K79 there and I expect that the T5000 woofer is the same as used in a Heresy ll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Isn't the mid driver/horn the same in the Heresy II as the ones in the Forte I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
