rplace Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi just stumbled upon this place. Looks like a lot of good info. I am a long time Klipsch owner. I am currently in the process of finishing off a portion of my basement as a dedicated theater. The finished size will be about 13 X 16. I have a pair of Forte IIs and a SW 12. So I am looking to outfit the rest of a 7.1 system. I could steal my Academy from my other system however I am thinking of going with Chorus and a single Forte up front and my Forte IIs in the back with the SW-12 Questions. First any one have a similar set up and care to comment on it? Next since I already have Forte IIs is there any real issue with CI vs IIs? I have read several posts and it looks like in general given the option people would lean toward the IIs because of the base, but I will the SW-12 so base is not a problem. I have not been able to find any conclusive posts that state C I/IIs are really all that different. I do conclude that both are well liked. Finally I dont know much at all about side speakers or what I should be looking for, any thought there? Power for the front/rear will be 2 Carver-TFM 25s with a Carver TFM 15 for the center. I dont have a tuner/preamp as of yet other then my Carver CT-17 which is Dolby Pro logic. I would be interested in any and all thoughts to pull it together. Kicking around the idea of a Sunfire Theater Grand IV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I'm running your proposed front speaker configuration, and I like it a lot. Having the full range center speaker of the quality of the Forte makes a huge difference over a "center" speaker, IMO. You'll like it!

rplace Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Thanks for the reply. Do you have your Forte center on it's side or upright? Thanks again, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I've been using it upright, inverted, on a shelf over my RPTV. However, when I switch to a front projector, I'll probably have to reconfigure it for horizontal use - possibly even rebuilding the entire cabinet so the motorboard is "horizontalized" (or "HornEd-ized") - so that it will fit below the screen.
