wuzzzer Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Woofers are definitely not original. Check eBay or post a wanted to buy ad in here for the parts you need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Forte II woofers should say Klipsch K-25-K and the rear passive would be marked Klipsch KD-15. Here is a link to the Klipsch Forte II specs. https://f072605def1c9a5ef179-a0bc3fbf1884fc0965506ae2b946e1cd.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/product-specsheets/forte-II-brochure.pdf For the tweeter horn, search ebay for the Forte II / K-75-K. The K-79-K, the K-76-K and the K-84-K are all the same "plastic horn" piece as the K-75 with different driver motors. Buy any of those and bolt it on to your K-75-K driver, exact fit. I would go after whoever you bought the forte II's from as a scammer worthy of a discount if they were sold as original. Keep the speakers, you can restore them back to OEM. The wool material is also not OEM. It is supposed to be grey foam rubber pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad though if the person you purchased them was unknowing and they made sound for a while, they might not of had a clue or they were scamming someone and you bit. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte IIs in good shape are hard to find and fetch a premium. Where are you located? Perhaps you should post a WTB ad here in the "garage sale" section. If you can fit em, look for Chorus I or II also. They usually aren't far off in price and are a step up from the Forte line. Good luck on the hunt and welcome.
