tk49 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Forte II's were my first kilpsch, then kg 4's, then Forte's and now Lascala's and they are all still with me. See a pattern? They look great, thew oiled oak is timeless and I know sound even better, enjoy them. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutesk Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Congratulations!!!! So...do you love them????? Yes I do. I need to experiment with positioning a little bit, but I'm very happy so far. They rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted July 30, 2007 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2007 We moved our Forte II's around quite a bit before they were given their final place of honor. I am sure you will achieve the sound you are looking for once you accomplish your goal. Congratulations again and keep us updated on your progress.

rplace Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Congrats! Nice looking speakers. They look a lot like my pair. You will love them. Looks like the credit card trick woked to get the grills off[] Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 That's a happy little system (ok, NOT little). Start with forte II's about 12-15" from back wall, toed-in a bit helps. Do THIS! It can save $$ in new passive radiators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paully Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Those look so similar to my Chorus II it would be fun to compare the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Very clean setup you have there. Looks just like my OO Forte IIs. Great 'little' speakers, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsched with Yamahas Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Forte's on Tubes........Cool! Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Those look so similar to my Chorus II it would be fun to compare the sound. Believe it or not, the smaller Forte II actually digs deeper. It's also voiced in such a way that the bass is more prominent compared to the mids/tweets. The mids on the Chorus II are a little smoother and the bass, though not digging as low, is definitely more accurate. The larger baffle also throws a slightly larger sound. Otherwise the two sound very similar...I would describe the Forte II as more forgiving of poor recordings, but the Chorus II are going to sound better with good recordings. Since not all music is recorded well, choosing between the two really becomes a toss-up. Well that's my 2 cents on the differences. I'd love to hear them side by side in the same room sometime just to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 31, 2007 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2007 Wow nice clean looking setup, but it looks like you have 2 really nice corners just begging for something. [6] You know you have a problem when 2 nice size speakers on a wall looks empty compared to what you see at home ! If I only had a choice of one pair of speakers it would probably also be Forte ll's. The room looks really nice, it's my addiction to Klipsch that makes me want to make what is called around here ( the wall of sound ), wish I had enough control to only have one pair.

paully Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 while some may say that the speakers just disappear, the wife begs to differ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutesk Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Congrats! Great looking setup.[Y] Thanks fellow Hoosier. I put them in the corners last night. Definitely better bass and a little mellower top end. Sounded real nice, but that could have been the Knob Creek working. [] This is fun.

tk49 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Keep playing with placement, it all depends on the type of sound you want. The Forte sounded great in my livingroom where I have my Forte II's, when I moved them to the finished basement, which has similar demension the bass became boomy. I now have Lascala's down there and the sound is nothing short of stunning. As said in an earlier post, you have a clean set-up, I'm sure by now you are more than pleased with your choice.
