dp1954 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I don't own any fortes, but I have a very nice pair of chorus I's in Roanoke, va about 240 miles away. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roc Rinaldi Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Sorry dp1954, it has to be forte IIs. My goal is to add 5 to the 2 that I already have in support of a 7.1 system. Anyone out there know of any forte IIs in oiled walnut in mint condition for sale located in MD, PA, VA, WV, NY, OH, NC, DE, MA ???? I'm so desperate that I will offer a $50.00 finders fee if anyone provides me with a lead that I actually buy speakers from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Roc, the Chorus is the slightly smaller brother to the Fort'e. I have two of them as rears to my Fort'e 1s and they are just great. Either series would do just fine and can be mixed, esp for rears. But your goal is your goal and good luck in finding them [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roc Rinaldi Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks Cal. You know it's a funny thing. I started with KG-4s as my first Klipschs. They sounded just great, so five months later I bought forte IIs. Then in comparing them side by side, all of a sudden the KG-4s seemed to pale by comparison, not bright enough in the high notes and mids. So what seemed just great five months ago then seemed a little bit weak compared to the forte IIs. Its just my ears I guess. Every day is a new opportunity. Maybe tomorrow, the forte IIs will show up for sale. I guess I have become fixated on them. Somewhere I read that the forte IIs were Paul Klipsch's last speaker that he was intimately involved in designing. I don't know if this is true or if that matters. My guess is that it does matter. Fortes and forte IIs seem to cause quite an interest among a lot of audio folks. Michael Colter, why doesn't Klipsch bring back the forte IIs? I would bet that the market demand is high enough to justify it. Oh well, just dreaming I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
