Dale A B Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 This is not my sale, but I called the guy in S/W MIlwaukee, WI. He has a pair of Forte's, pair of Kg 2.2, pair of KG 1.2, an Academy center channel, and a SW-10 subwoofer. Sub is finished in oak, the rest in walnut. Has original boxes, manuals, etc. Excellent condition. Is looking to get $850 or best offer - will not split up. Ad was originally listed in the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel. Call 414-541-5474 (Tim) The system is apparently stored at this time in their boxes, but sounds like a great deal to me! Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 If anyone is interested in this, I could work as a go between to inspect / evaluate equipment conditions and or help with transportation. PM me if needed. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruschi54 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 JM-that is a cool thing to do. I just found a similar local deal. It was supposed to be an all Klipsch set-up. However when I got there the only thing Klipsch was the SW-12 sub and a pr. of KG 2's. The other speakers were all Snell. I bought them but wanted Klipsch. How he could confuse the two I have no idea. He had been using them for 8 years and thought he had an all Klipsch set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSport Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Chorus IIs for Left and Right Mains...sweeeet... Academy for Center...(same tweets as the Chorus II and Forte II)... Forte for rear surrounds... SW 10 For your Sub... Sell all the rest and get another pair of Quartets or Forte' IIs or Chorus IIs...or Klipschorns...or ... Do a search for member popbumper for his Academy upgrade...the Academy is sweet as is...popbumper takes it to the next level as a center...careful though...then you will want to upgrade the crossovers in the left and right mains...enjoy what you have for a while...you got a KILLER package. Sweet! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Exquisite advice, exactly where I would have taken him. Note that the 'leftovers' make up a pretty nice sm 5 ch setup on their own. That $850 paid for the Forte's and Academy, all the rest basically came FREE. Excellent deal there. I'd keep the KG/V lineup with the SW10- put in a second room or sell as a package, then upgrade the woofer. Those Chorii/Fortii could use a bit more sub than the SW10. I think an RW-12 would be a nice fit, and not too spendy. But you done good. REAL GOOD. Merry Christmas and Welcome to the Madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplummer Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I agree with silversport about chorus mains, academy center, and forte rears. I also agree with Colterphoto about the sw10 not being enough sub for the chorus. I have the same setup and that's exactly what I experience. Although I would not scrap the sw10. Instead, I would use it as a center channel mated to the Academy to help with the Academy's shortcomings, namely the bottom end. you will notice a large timbre difference between the chorus's and Academy, but adding a sub to the center eliminates this timbre difference. Then you will have to add another sub. I still haven't found that part of nervana. I have a large homade sub with two 15" drivers in it, but WAF frowns heavily. Better luck to you.

davewrit Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 okay, how would you set it up as a 7.1, Fortes on the side or in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Fortes for side OR back, whichever is furthest from your seating postion. Use one of the other sets for the other surround pair. That will help because the efficency will compensate for distance a bit. No point in putting the Fortes right beside you then having to turn them WAAAY down. I'd stick with 5.1 or 6.1 for now. There aren't any (or many) soundtracks with 7 discrete channels anyway, so unless your room and seating area is tremendously large, I can't imagine the need for 7 channels.
