Bsherck Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 OK, I have a new-to-me set of Forte III and I noticed a fair amount of distortion in the left midrange when I play White Stripes "Seven Nation Army". Right side has no vibration. Other music seems to be fine. I have added sound-dampening material to both the tweeter and midrange horns. Thoughts? Should I be worried? Replacement?

John Chi-town Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Was there vibration prior to modifying the speakers? What did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 may I ask... how sure are you that the former owner did not abuse that k55 by over driving it? That's a beautiful looking speaker by the way! post script: I wanted to also add, that I had a similar situation with a few songs on an old pair of LSii's... I was sure that there was a cap issue or a diaphragm issue... but it only did this distortion/screeching on the same songs, and all other songs were perfect. it turned out that it was actually the recording and not the mechanics or electronics of the speaker.

Bsherck Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Adhesive-backed foam. I don't believe that is the culprit. I am wondering if it is the individual track. May switch sides tomorrow to confirm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
