Pic's will be good. If they do sound lower than that, the "new way" of measuring might rile up some folks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just guessing, since mid bass is roughly 40hz- 80hz when a speaker goes below 40 they seem to have nice bass. I don't know how they measure, but I would think they can back it up with proof. Amount of bass can make it deceiving also, like with the Cornwall, there is alot of bass and most people would say so, it might not be terribly deep but there is plenty bass. It can be deceiving. I really can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the new forte lll, I predict a big hit. People will like the bass but the mids will surprise everyone, good design Chief Bonehead worked out to improve an already good speaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 What started my thinking about new main speakers was the bass was the little discontinued speakers I bought last fall to improve my led tv sound. Polk TSx220B for about $160 literally had lower bass than my Heresys. They can not produce the sound "stage" or pressure like my old speakers though. The talk of how nice the Tractrix Horn on the titanium drivers in the Forte IIIs earlier this spring is going to be an experience for me soon. Cleaned up my "Leftoverture" lp today thinking how their harmonies might come alive. My "Low Budget" lp got eaten with a dozen others by by my rott-n-pit pup angry at me one day two decades ago. Found a great sounding import cd of that a couple weeks ago. I know what the killer bass on that recording makes my Heresys sound like. "Presence" "Rocks" "Telegraph Road" "461 Ocean Blvd" "Magazine" Everything will sound different, I'm sure. I'll probably be time travelling by next weekend.

I can still remember getting in my sisters little white Toyota Corona with red pinstripes, and her taking me to Bi-Mart to purchase the album.

USNRET Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Confused, I am. That doesn't look like my living room so what gives here? I expected that you would have them set up for me before I came back from 4th fishing with the kiddos. Ribbon fish in abundance with gnarly teeth.Nice! You might as well PM me a price for 3. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parlophone1 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Very nice looking, with these bright colored grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Nice.. You can see like they stated at their site that the hybrid California Black Walnut grain varies a lot. Means we'll have a surprise when we open them up. I searched that before ordering and besides what's been shown at CES and here with Cory's the look of this "Claro Walnut" can vary wildly.

It's striped nicely but some of the product pics made it look like it would be 3d like flamy maple is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 @MetropolisLakeOutfitters I'd like to be able to get my hands on some of those silver luster grills. Depending on if mine come with the burl or the streaked look at the graft of the English & California Walnut like the first photos it could look great like those rosewood Heresys. Let us know here if those kind of extras ever become available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 The black matte ones are cool as hell BTW. Going to be parked right next to my Jubilees. Might as well just print Roy's mug off and hang it up in the general area as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
