travisc Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hi welcome to the forum. The forte II or chorus II will dig a little deeper than the quartets. other than that they are the same mid and tweeter horn. and yes they do sound pretty darn good!! quartet_specs Forte_II_specs Chorus_II_specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerohm Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I am going to ASSUME you are comparing a Forte II and a Quartet (same midrange squawkers)??? They sound remarkably similar IF you raise the Quartet's Base up 6" off the ground or so; they are just TOO short. This MAY be just me, or completely in my head, but I have always felt that the K76 tweeter (same as Heresy II and Academy) was a bit shrill head on. I don't find the same with the K75 (Forte) or K79(Chorus) which are the same horn with larger magnet structures... so take it for what it is worth. The Quartet is definitely limited by the size of the room you are trying to fill. It does fine if the room isn't too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 these are interesting (to me) observations...I really enjoy my Quartets and find they have no problem filling any of the rooms at my house they have been in (just like my Heresys don't struggle with this) but I have never heard the Forte' (or II) or Chorus (or II)...I had heard kg4s and didn't care for them preferring Heresy IIs in 1989 (my big brother was buying and bought the Heresy IIs and I ended up with kg2s)...I thought the Quartet/Forte'/Chorus would be similar to the kg4 and never gave them a second thought until a set of Quartets showed up near to me for a price that I couldn't pass up...a true three way that has more bass than my Heresys...I haven't kicked the Heresys to the curb (I have a Heresy 5.1 with an Academy (popbumpered) center Home Theater that I love) but I was wrong about the Quartet/Forte'/Chorus (maybe I should revisit the kg4s? [] ) Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
