dan.derby Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Second owner. I purchased them from the original owner in early 2021. They had been in his climate controlled warehouse for some time. He documented the serial number on one (#8656832 - the tag was loose) and that they were bought together. The tag(s) are gone to tag heaven. Crites titanium tweeter diaphragms were installled. Originals will be included. The Crites cross overs for that time (2013) were also installed. Bobby Crites (RIP) personally did not recommend the midrange diaphragms at the time and told the original ower that. Walnut finish which was just reoiled (see photos). Cabinets and dust cover fabrics in excellent shape. Some abrasion on passive radiator dust caps but no harm no foul. Sound great but I have three sets of Klipsch speakers and these are just too much for my tiny listening space. These are currently set up and I'd be happy to demo - N. Hampton, NH (03862). I've run these with a 2 watt Decware tube amp and a 400 watt Bryston 4B SST. Both sounded great. If you want them shipped, you will need to manage that because it's above my pay grade. I have them listed at $1350 on FB, CL and USAUDIOMART. Will put them on eB*y eventually...yuck. Since there's a size limit on what I can post (one setup and one when I was oiling them), here's a link to reasonably large images: https://www.danderby.com/forte I'm email@danderby.com if you want to contact me directly.

jjptkd Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Beautiful speakers! Are those k-28 woofers? They don't appear to be the stock k-23's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan.derby Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 I have no idea if they are k-28s. How would I find that out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakeydeal Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewdude44 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Very nice set of Forte's there but like the gentleman above said those definitely are not the original woofers. Look like they could also be the crites replacement woofer. But without yanking them out and looking you just can't tell. GLWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan.derby Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 I wish I'd paid attention to all your comments. Might have saved me some discussion with the buyer! They sold locally and quickly. Sorry I didn't remember to come back an edit the post. I do miss them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
