DrWho Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 oooo, Forte II's....now that's gonna be an interesting comparison against them Dahlquists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 oooo, Forte II's....now that's gonna be an interesting comparison against them Dahlquists! I hope it blows them away. Otherwise I gave away a perfectly good pair of CW's. And if they do, what do I do with the Dahlquists? I know- put them in my bedroom, then I can sell those Maple RB3II's to the guy looking to complete his Maple Ref setup. That should net me $300 or in the trade, I'll be rid of excess inventory, and two rooms would get speaker upgrades. yeah, I did good!

Gilbert Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Happy B-Day Michael....... and I don't think you'll regrett the Forte swap. I loved mine (had them for about 2 years), but sold them because my little girls started messing with the passive radiators. Otherwise, I'd a kept them. Congrat's again on another birthday. See ya!

colterphoto1 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Forte idea- get those 'waffle' speaker grilles like used in PA and auto applications and install over the passives- keeps dogs and little fingers out. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Happy birthday to come, glad you have some Forte's I think you will like them, hope you are suprised by the sound.[^] Dtel, how do they sound at low volumes? I'm planning on replacing my Dahlquist M908's in my office which are 8" 2 way with dome tweeter. They sound exceptionally smooth. Room is 14x14 and its usually levels where I can converse on the phone. Tried Heresies in there and they were too 'shouty'. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Happy Birthday, bro! Sounds like a nice swap for the Fortes if you ask me! Let us know what your thoughts are after getting them. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael I might not be the best person to ask that , I have a little problem with hearing some mid and high frequencies at low volume, they just sound a little dull, but to me everything does a low levels .[] I need a little volume to hear the upper half, my wife says i am deaf, somewhat true.

Bill H. Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Michael, Have a Rock Star Cola on me......... You will find the Fortes a Dream speaker! I bet they bring a smile to your face. Smooth, full bodied and plenty of Punch! I predict you will want to sell off all your CW's and start a Forte HT ! Congrats on being able to do a swap, thats really neat!
