vondy Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Would love to compare the Forte IIIs to my Forte IIs. Would love to know the specs as well. Good work guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not usually privy to new products being developed until we are close to releasing them or getting them ready for CES. I'm just a lowly Web Guy™. That said, even if I did know something, I wouldn't have risked my job by mentioning it here. OK, I take you at your word. You just sound like you know cool inside stuff. And the more you refuse to answer, the cooler you seem to be. Very clever. We're on to you, but we won't say anything. Mum's the word.

Deang Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The internal amplifier makes me a little nervous, but as much as I like the Forte III and RF-7 III - I really want a set of 15s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It's weird - the newer subwoofer plate amps are pretty solid, but the other stuff seems to have issues. I'm willing to risk it though - it looks like a great design. Familiar with the new NAD D 3020? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_745D3020/NAD-D-3020.html?tp=34948&awcp=1t1&awcr=105211353803&awdv=m&awkw=nad+3020&awmt=p&awnw=g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm asking. I don't like their current metal speakers cones. Too bright, to much ring to them. Imho. But it's cheaper to stamp some aluminum than produce some woven carbon fiber or Kevlar cones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to cory about this last night. If the amp failed and could not be fixed you would be forced to go active from that point on. Or have a passive crossover designed by someone.

I'm pretty much out on these but in love with the 7III's and Forte III's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Bum Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Chad, do you know...wait a minute, you're the wrong one to ask. Roy, Chief, if you're tuning in still and don't mind answering questions, are the Fifteen's fully active, or 'amplified passive speakers' a la the R-15PM? Are there any plans for a passive version, for the tube nuts and others who may not be as interested in the electronics as the speakers?
