K5SS Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I have heard of them but haven’t seen any pop up locally. Look very impressive to me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Once you hear a set of them setup in the right environment you will be in amazed of the detail and depth and power and impact of the speakers but most the time people set them up in theWrong room that is way too small for them and they cannot breath and operate properly to their full potentialThey where and are ahead of their time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkwa1959 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Yes, to the they need a good size room.I have a pair and my room is 13.5 x 15.5 and they really need a bigger room to sound their best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Almost bought a veneered pair a couple of months ago ... they were "gone" when I got to the seller. They made several different models ... think those are the A7's.

K5SS Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 170lbs and 58” tall! These would probably be overkill in my 750 SF apartment.. Heck, my new THX Ultras are massively overkill in this place😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 170lbs and 58” tall! These would probably be overkill in my 750 SF apartment.. NO way..... There is no such thing as too much speaker in too small a room on this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Looked at the listing ... not sure if they are original or home build copies. Also ... no clue, but think $3500 is way too much. The pair I was looking at (original, pristine and oak veneered) sold for $2800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K5SS Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 I missed out on what appeared to be some FREE Oak Forte speakers earlier today and I ran across these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hmm I guess I did alright then when I bought the parts for one of these the other day for $250. 808 8A horn drivers in great shape cabinet needs some work but not bad woofers need reconing but all said and done I will have maybe $600 in them when done. I like that cabinet around the horn too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
