Dad heard my Forte... Now he want's some. RF-3 pair for sale $275

[Loudogp250 105]

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.

that's going to be a tough trade there... Nice looking listening room though

[Loudogp250 105]

This is his listing room. He introduced me to vinyl and I have never looked back.....

:thumbsup:

For sure a Three way is going to bring that vinyl to life and you will probably never look back from that.

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.

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

Not to hijack your thread but what klipsch speaker would be good , I only play vinyl also . price range 3k and under

Dad (me) got his first pair of Forte's yesterday. Now my son wants some!!

[Loudogp250 105]

@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. The cravings never stop. :-)

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.

[moray james 1790]

oops but I see a K79 there and I expect that the T5000 woofer is the same as used in a Heresy ll

[garyrc 1537]

Isn't the mid driver/horn the same in the Heresy II as the ones in the Forte I?
