mbash Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I will ask on more question about timber matching and will have the info I need to complete the 5.1 in my home. Will the Klf C7 match up to the Forte II w KG 2.2 effects or do I hold out for the Oak Academy ( has to be oak to make you know who happy ) As always thanks for you help and guidance it has been great.

fastlane Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Some like the C-7 with Forte II's. It is supposed to be a close match and an alternative to the harder to find Academy. I would suggest buying whichever one you find first, as both are rare. If you decide you don't like the C-7 you should be able to resell and recover your investment. Another alternative would be to find a single Forte II or Quartet to go above or under your TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisc Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I knew I wouldnt be happy until I just sucked it up and bought the academy. Now mind you the academy isnt a perfect match for the fortes, there is now horn covering the mids. and youll probly want the damn holy grail thing in your head to be at rest. I say spend the extra, Im sure you deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popbumper Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Bash: In a pinch, the KG2 will ALSO work as a reasonable timbre matched center. I have Forte's, the BEST match was another Forte, the NEXT best is an Academy (which I use), the third is a KG2. Can't vouch for KLF-C7, but do NOT use a Heresy - it will NOT match. Good luck!!

mrock Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I use a KLF-C7 between Forte I's and I can't be more satisfied. Granted, I've never heard an Academy. I went with the C7 because I wasn't about to pay the $$'s for an Academy and they are not very available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feersum dreadnot Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 there is a pair of Forte IIs on e-bay right now - you could have a matching center and rear center, or surrounds, if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
