    1995 Forte II's for sale

    Pair of 1995 Forte II's for sale, BC tweeters, caps just done, cabs really good, looking to get back into to RF series.  These speaters have the wonderful Heritage sound and serious output.  I used them for primarliy for Country music and movies. I will consider a swap for a good pair RF series speakers, or $500 or b.o.


    Thanks,

    Re: 1995 Forte II's for sale

     I do love 'em  Truthfully it is one of the best speakers I have ever heard, the power of the Heritage series with a small footprong,  but I kind of want to change back to RF series so I can get matching center and surround channels.  Heck, worse comes to worse I keep 'em and buy a Heresy as a center channel.  The RF stuff doesn't quite have the personality of heritage equipment, but I'd like to get a complete and acoustically matched system if possible.  If they don't sell, I'm just going to have to stay all Heritage, man life is tough :-).

     

    Personally, I still have a mind to go with the heresy center concept, but I just don't have to room for it.  The Forte II does everythng right. If I could grab a pair  of RF 5's and an RC-62, my day would be almost complete.  My listening room is no way big enough to support HII or HIII center and surround channels.One of the things I love about the Forte II is Cornwall sound in a smaller footprint.

     

    I am rearrainging my sound room, and I'd love to have a complere RF system with fronts, center, surrounds and subwoofer.  All that stuff could actually fit in my room.  The RF center channel speakers are shielded, so I'm good there.  There is no way I can fit two FII's and three HII's in my listening room, the trouble with city living.

     

    I didn't see it either, then I went over to a friend's house, he had the complere RF-62 based home theater system, it was great, I prefer the RF 5, it is more dynamic, but this RF 62 based system really was impressive.  The more I write, the less resolved I am to selling them, so I better stop.

    Thanks,

    Don't do it man!  I had a pair of RF-7s, bought Forte IIs and sold the RF-7s!!  My Fortes are the one piece of audio gear I've owned the longest of all of my equipment.

    You have a lot of options for a center speaker with a Forte II:  another Forte II, a Quartet, an Academy, and several have said a KLF-C7 works well too.

    Re: 1995 Forte II's for sale

     I hear ya,  but I have to look at my surround options, and they are alll big.  Since so much audio programming comes out of the center channel it has to have the kind of dynamic range that the sides do, putting me in Heritage land, Heresy III's.  This makes it problematic  Surround channels have to be up there as well, which puts me back in the three Heresy world. Heritage goes really well with Heritage.

    I was  impressed with the the entire RF theater system, but no worries, no one will want to buy speakers in this economy.  Yea, it would be nice to have two Forte II's and three Heresy III's, now that would be a theater system,.

    Thanks,
