One owner and lovingly cared for with the original boxes. He said that he was upgrading to Cornwalls. Are there any maintenance concerns or upgrades that I should consider with these Fortes? Congrats! If they sound good to just enjoy and maybe a pic or so, if you want... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Forte 1s that were my fathers before his passing. I upgraded the crossovers to Crites and replaced the tweeters with DaveAs lmahl tweeters and they sound better than new. I use them as my surrounds with Forte IVs as my mains. As good as the modified Forte 1s sound the IVs are much more enjoyable to listen to.

Roy did an amazing job upgrading the IVs. More accurate, better deeper bass, wider and deeper soundstage with zero fatigue. They sound like much larger speakers than their size presents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent choice. I'd take them over the III or the IV. They also take up very little real-estate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
