Rex Everything Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Forte Audio Model 3 stereo amp. The Model 3 was the last amps Nelson Pass was involved with while at Forte Audio. The amp is rated at 200wpc at 8 ohms and 400wpc at 4 ohms. Amp has no issues driving demanding speakers. The amp is fully functional and sounds excellent. It is used and has a few light marks. $600 Edited December 5, 2023 by Rex Everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triceratops Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 At one time I owned both the Forte Audio Model 3 and its sibling, the Forte Audio Model 1a (which is a Class A 50 wpc power amp). One very cool feature of these two amp models is that the Forte Audio Model 3 can be converted to a Model 1a and vice versa. I never tried it because I already owned both amps, but it is something that Nelson Pass has written about. It's worth noting here, because the high efficiency of Klipsch speakers make Class A amps of moderate power an attractive option for many Klipsch fans. My Forte Audio 1a is now owned locally by a close friend, and he uses it to power his 1977 Klipschorns (also purchased from me) with great results. https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/converting-forte-model-3-to-model-1a.273990/ In summary, these are unusually versatile, excellent sounding amps!
