USNRET Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 I will hold that in hand for a bit. but I have 7x200 and 2x75 available to tie together since 901s are not very efficient 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus89 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Forte III's are beautiful, but I can't imagine going from Khorns to anything else without an empty feeling of a huge downgrade, unless you got an all La Scala surround with better subs or Jubilees. Though his living room does allow for a 3rd for a matching LCR of any kind of speaker be it FIII or LCR RF-7 II's (or III's?) Congrats to the buyer. What an amazing deal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard them in Hope where they had the F3's, K-Horns and RF-7II's in the same listening room and switched between the 3 sets. The F3's were my favorites. The voicing on them is perfection. Roy hit it out of the park with these IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everyone that didn't think the K-horns were better before even listening to them. The K-horns have a very loyal following and have their own signature sound. I personally preferred the balance of the F3's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience is that the Khorn is at the top of the heap for 2.0 but I have not been successful integrating them into a 5.x environment.

CECAA850 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I went into the listening session with no pre conceived bias and was open to what I was about to hear. They could put them all behind an acoustically transparent wall and I could pick out the F3's every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 To be fair, the K-horns sounded bigger but the F3's sounded more natural (to me). I didn't like the fact that they didn't level match the speakers though. The difference in sensitivity was obvious. It would have been nice to have the speakers switched from one to another and maintain the same volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 How far away was the listening position from the Forte 3's and the distance apart between them? How far off the back wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
