wayneair Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I recently acquired a very nice Forté I set. One of the previous owners removed the labels. Is there a way to date them based on appearance, driver model numbers, the “..completed and inspected” internal label, and/or crossover components? They’re oak, light green grills, the passive radiator had no sealing medium, and the crossover autotransformer is labeled “T2A-D1”. I understand that T10A autotransformer replaced the T2A at some point. The “completed and inspected” is dated 9-9, 9-10, and 9-11, which I don’t think really helps..

The forte 1 were produced 1985-1989 the very first run early models have a round input cup marked 4 ohms the later models have the larger rectangle input cup marked 8 ohms. Not sure how long they ran the early vs older model but that would be the only way to guess age that I know of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneair Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Well, looking at the rectangular input cup, I don’t see “8 ohms”, however I do see “1986 KLIPSCH AND ASSOCIATES, INC.” Seems that you’ve inadvertently pointed me in the right direction. Guess that pretty much answers my question. 😆. Many thanks kind sir. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
