I have owned a a pair of Forte's since the mid eighties - love them and need nothing more till I die. My hearing is not what it used to be but wonder if the caps and resistors might be worn after decades of really loud music. My Q is, might they perk up with a new set of resistors. I still have some hearing left to lose. Thanks everyone, Adam Welcome to the Forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the Capacitors do go bad, especially if the original ones were electrolytic types. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
