xfontanax Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I just want to say hi to all the klipsch members. I'm a new member here and I just recently purchased an excellent-condition pair of Forte IIs. I have to say, I'm quite impressed. I'm powering it with an Onkyo Grand Integra M508 and Dodd ELP tube preamp. My source is a Toshiba SD-9200 DVD player and I'm using Cobolt Ultimate Speaker Cable. The highs are very smooth; smoother than I was anticipating and the bass is very tight. These are my first pair of Klipsch and I'm really looking forward to "getting to know" these speakers. By the way, this is a great forum. Grady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 The Toshiba you have is supposed to be a cool player; never heard it yet. Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flason Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I use an Onkyo Integra M504 to power my Klipschorns. I switch back and forth between it and a Scott 299C tube intergrate. Love the sound from both though I with the Scott had more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurenc319 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 hi, Fortes are great speakers. They will astound you with the quality of sound they can deliver. They do show up poor source components. IMHO they sound better with tube amplifiers. Good listening Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfontanax Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Thanks for the welcome everyone! I've spent some hours with the forte IIs last night. Another cool quality of these speakers is the imaging. They present a very wide soundstage. Slightly toe'd-in seems to work best in my setup. The Toshiba you have is supposed to be a cool player; never heard it yet. Welcome! The Toshiba is an excellent player. Eventually, I'll upgrade (as we all do) but for now, it beats out my other CD players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiobliss69 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Congrats on the purchase! Glad you like them. That Dodd ELP is one nice pre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
