John Chi-town Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 1 hour ago, Marvel said: Duke, this is a 16+ year old thread. Things may have changed... I spoke with Ralph when forte IV were released inquiring whether he could re fabric my forte II grills in lambswool. At the time I had not moved from Chicagoland. He told me to drop them off or ship to him and he would do the job. Cannot remember what the quoted cost was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark6388 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I have a pair of Forte II grilles that I would like to get recovered in the Lambswool fabric. I sent an email to ralph@duracrest.com on 02/17/23 and it did not go through. I am going to try to call the company at the number that I found on Google and see if I can get mine recovered as well. The Forte II grille covers are held on with magnets. From what I can tell from the photos of Forte IV's, they use a different type of method of attachment. I bought mine in the fall of 1992 and they still piss the neighbors off... lol and still sound great. I would love to updates the tweeters and midrange speakers to the ones used on the Forte IVs but I am unsure it that is even a possibility. The reviews of the IVs speak about better imagine and separation. Any input on this would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others may know more on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the email I have for him so not sure what is up on that. They have always answered during regular business hours. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
