nlt6mor Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I am getting tired of waiting for another pair of walnut Forte I to come up that I can afford. Seems their price has gone up since the release of Forte III!!! Have seen quit a few Walnut KG4 that I could afford. I will be replacing my current Oak KG2.2. What are you feelings of a KG 4 between Crites updated Forte 1s. I have Forte 1s also in place for the surrounds. Thanks for your thoughts.

wuzzzer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 It would definitely be an upgrade over any KG2 speaker. I love my KG4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlt6mor Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks Wuzzer. I am sure there would be some tonal difference between forte and KG4. Any guess what frequencies would most express that difference? I ask because my hearing is very poor in the upper registers, and if that is where tonal differences would be most noticeable, I might be OK with KG4. I hear they have tight accurate bass and that is right down my ally. Midrange is probably most import for the center any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The midrange of a forte should be a little clearer due to the squawker covering that portion of the audio. However, the exponential horn in the KG4 should be a step up from the dhorn in the 2.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 36" space under the TV so it can stand upright. Use newly aquired KG4 for the surround speakers? Just one lonely left over Forte1.

wuzzzer Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 That would be perfect! You shouldn't have a problem selling a single forte if you chose to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
