Aufwuchs Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I have been searching these forums over the last couple of weeks and wanted to introduce myself because I have found them to be a valuable resource. This weekend I drove up to Nasville to buy a pair of Forte II's that were on Craigslist. I started searching for a pair of speakers about 2 weeks ago to go with a Fisher tube amp that I have sent out to be refurbished. Well, as serendipity would have it, I found this pair on Craigslist a week later. While the Fisher is being restored I am using the Forte II's with a SS Yamaha CR-2040 and they sound pretty darn good. I am looking forward to hearing them with tubes though. The Forte's are oiled oak and manufactured in 1993 (see I never would have known how to interpret the serial numbers without this forum) Anyway, Hi !

Johnny dB Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Welcome to the Forum... let the madness begin. Forte's are an excellent choice, what Fisher will you be using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Welcome and congratulations on your Forte II's; they're excellent speakers! Don't be shy about asking questions, although you can find out a lot of useful information about the Forte's on this forum using the search function. Again, welcome!

Aufwuchs Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thank you for the welcome. It is a Fisher KX-100 that was originally built by my father. It has been out of service for as long as I can remember so I can't say I have ever heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the Fortes' too. Having your dad's Fisher is a regular treasure and should sound fabulous with the Fortes'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufwuchs Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thank you again for all of the welcome messages. This seems like a great place. I am really enjoying these speakers as well as the forum. The speakers sound MUCH better now than they did even the first day I got them. They had been in storage for quite a while from what I could tell from the seller so I guess the old caps needed some time to wake up.
