Thoriated_Tiger Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Um.. whooz? You're in the fringe area right now. I'd say most of us have figgered out, in audio (and many other things!) numbers mean precisely squat. My tube amp has a THD that would send a scope dope running to his mommy! Would I swap it for a .002% THD solid-state? no. Not in a million years. Get the fortes in, feed 'em some clean, clean power. Then come back and say what happened. ^.^ Don't sweat it man! You got Fortes! most folk out there are *clueless!* They got bose, boston-acoustic, whatever the local hi-fi *cough* emporium pushes. Numbers and specs matter not -- only what it does to your soul when you hear it! FOr some perspective, a pair of Fortes did my friend's wedding. A 30x50' hall. I was getting kudos from random strangers on how 'live' and 'real' it sounded. And that was pused by a very modest digital receiver (not mine, his ;o) You'll have no probs. with the Fortes. At all.

Thoriated_Tiger Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 That's why she's Clueless Oh, and whooz? Somewheres I read that Paul Klipsch had a pair of Fortes in his office. Strange, ne? Out of all the speakers created in his time, he picked these for his office... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hello: The math is not truly applicable until the power, furnishings and desired sound level is stated. IMO, stay with the Fortes whether you go to a larger area or not. Unless that larger area is a football field. You could save by not changing at this point. The savings could go to different Klipsch Speakers, the larger room, a different source either upgrading or adding something different. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After processing the data for a little over an hour and a half (P4C with 1GB 800Mhz ram) it gave me the following answer....... 4 hope it helps you...

Hofy Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I calculated the meaning of life once. MoL=42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 42 is not even prime. The MoL should at least be prime. My answer has always been 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Un proven math does not equal a theroem. No wrong decision here. Just another auiophile torturing itself. Sounds like me and DAC mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Gee Wizz, WYD has been peppering us with odd questions; and expecting us to reveal the secrets of the Universe while he stands on one foot; poised to interject another variable. In my view, there is no reason to believe that one speaker or the other of the type mentioned is better in a room of any reasonable dimension.

maxg Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 WYD, Correct! You have just picked up the best possible speakers for your room. Now repeat this to yourself 100 times and stop wondering about all the other alternatives - time to start figuring out what you are going to drive them with!
