New used forte 2

[dtel]

Well I picked them up last night, Mike the man I bought them from was very nice and has bought, sold, and owned quite a few different klipsch models and is always looking.

The condition of the fortes were just how he described, one of the corners had a small chip of veneer missing but overall very good shape. All drivers working and no dent's or any other problems, that's the main thing , overall better than expected.

I had never heard the forte 2 so I didn't know what to expect. They sound much bigger than the sb3's , not a surprise there but the big surprise was the mid and high freq.

To try and explain it let's say there is a knob for mid and high freq. With the sb3 it's set on maybe 2 with the forte's it's set on 9.9 but not to high just about right. Also much more bass but I still use a sub. Overall very nice.

They sound better in 2 channel than sb3 front's ss1 rears and sc1 center all together.

To give you a better idea, my wife listened for about 2 min and said < I guess you have to start looking for more for the center and rear > how's that , pretty good if you ask me. So I guess I must listen to her she is the boss!

Thanks for posting them up for sale I would have missed them without reading about it here.

As they say in Picayune, "those are good speakers PawPaw."

Glad to know you are happy with them. And now the wife's blessing to pursue more. Icing on the cake.
