I would buy the badges if they are available, determine after the grilles are done witch badge looks best. Good idea's Jason. Thanks again for Duracrest lead as well. BTW, Ralph said he has been supplying the "cloth" for all Klipsch models since the introduction of the original forte in 1985 Best regards.

Good point dtel; Certainly will. Will be at least mid January. Unfortunately, I have to wait till after the 1st of the year based on Duracrest work load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Chi-town Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Well I am bringing in the grills on my forte II for the lambswool forte III makeover on either Monday or Tuesday of next week. Decided to keep original copper badges on them. I will post photos once returned to me if anyone is interested. Best regards, John 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvetcha Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 @John Chi-town ever get around to this? I called Duracrest a few times last year but they always seemed too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junx Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 bump - would love know if this is being done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvetcha Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Sadly, Duracrest is not currently taking any orders for this, they're swamped with their official Klipsch work-load and already struggling to keep up. I was told to check back after the 1st of the year during a lower-traffic period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
