mjcmt Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I have a pair of Klipsch Forte I (For WO RV on back label) that I purchased from the original owner a while back. They have low hours and alway indoor kept in climate controlled environment. They are in excellent condition cosmetically except for light water marks on top from plants. Most importantly, they sound fantastic, lively and clear, deep tight bass. I didn't have any intention of upgrading them as they sound sublime w/ modern tubes and British SS as well as vintage NAD. I decided to remove x-over to see the condition and it looks new as it left the factory. So new looking I thought I'd check to see if the x-overs are original. Back label says 'For WO RV' I'm assuming it stands for Forte Walnut and not sure what RV is...Revised? Please tell me what I have and if x-over is factory original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 on the cornwall and heresy the RV stands for the Riser on the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjcmt Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Thanks for confirmations. You answered my questions. My Forte I are in amazing condition and don't plan on changing anything. Just wish I hadn't sold my '88-90 Mcintosh Mac-4280 receiver one year earlier, for cheap on top of it. The paring would have been a match made in audio heaven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeezerSH Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I have the exact same speakers - walnut with risers. The passive radiators have the cones pushed in (young kids years ago). Any way to reverse this or should I look for replacements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
