JohnJ Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 If one of your Forte IIIs makes a noise like wire hangers bumping when you move it around, it might not be awful. Could be a design miscue I've found. Put this out in case you experience it. Not powered on, on a anti resonance pad to level out a corner of it being up on a half inch thick wool rug. My nephew's nerf ball went behind it and I placed my hand on top and it rocked a little....I heard a rattle inside. Crap. They sound great, but could this be trouble in the future? I'd read about LaScalas with not completely hooked up wiring, loose screws behind the grill of F3's. Called @MetropolisLakeOutfitters looking for advice and being concerned. Thanks for the time and your help Cory! If you need some new Klipsch look this guy up! I pulled out @Chief bonehead's mumps masterpiece, it's hefty like 7 or 8 lbs! Nothing loose in there at all, I rocked the speaker a little and saw the wires from the tweeter bump the metal frame for the passive radiator making that metallic sound. There's no tension involved, no sharp edge to chafe the wire, no bow or stern in my home either. My new 027 gem in the corner of the room is safe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Glad it worked out well for you. There's a member on the AVS forum with the screen name Itsmyforte, ironically he's a Klipsch engineer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 And I threw around Roy's name hoping to get it noticed by somebody that could effect change too! Not that it's major, I could put an anchored cable tie in there if I was inclined to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 You should. That will eventually cause an audible noise. Wash, rinse, repeat on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 @John Albright Heck I didn't even want to go into the brand new $$ speaker. Did it `cause I didn't want to turn it back on without knowing! Save that for another rainy day, I've got tacks and cable ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
