ClaudeJ1 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The Cornwall will definitely thump a little more than the forte, That's because of the 90 Hz. hump in the FR. My ported Super Heresy's would give the Forte II a run for it's money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) The same sort of definitional advantages as the Corns, IMO, and apparently a different balance between the deepest bass and midrange. But, unless things have changed, the C/W III uses the HERESY treble complement, a smaller, 700-Hz horn, crossed over at a (relatively) stratospheric 800 Hz. When I talked to Gary Gillum, former Klipsch chief engineer, long retired, he didn't like that they went to the Heresy horn on the Cornwall. Thought it was not good. Personally, I would fit a Fastrac horn in there, then all bets are off. Edited June 1, 2014 by ClaudeJ1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 PS..... In doing so you may find yourself putting the rest of your Heritage line up for sale! BS. Only if you don't try tri amping with PEQ first. Let's not get carried away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I've heard all the speakers mentioned here and have owned most. The Forte IIs are the best kept secret. I've had chorus IIs also. The forte II's are in my bedroom. ....... considered my wife's speakers now. It's a tossup between those two. Had them all too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
