New Klipsch... Forte' III's

[MORE CARVER'S PLEASE 99]

Got some new exciting stuff coming out from Hope Arkansas (home of Klipsch)

 

Klipsch has brought back one it's best speakers ever made inho.... The Forte' ...... Forte'III

 

I have been a Klipsch collector for over 25 years now and have owned quite a few.... Most of my Klipsch have been from the heritage line: Klipschorn, LaScala, Cornwall, Heresy and the so called extended heritage line: Chorus I's & II's Forte' I's & II's and the Quartet.

There was some rumors going around last year that a ChorusIII was in the works, but I don't think this is going to happen. The Chorus was the replacement for the Cornwall.  Klipsch brought the Cornwall III back a few years ago. There seems to be a great love for the Cornwall. I owned some Cornwall II's some years ago. I thought they were a good sounding speaker but the ChorusI's or II's kill the Cornwall in the bass dept. Since I owned ChorusI's & II's I decided to off the Cornwalls.  My old shop helper owns them so I can still visit with them and if he ever decides to sell them he MUST give me 1st shot....

I think the new Forte' is going to be a hit. The Forte's can put out some serious sound. I own Forte'I's and use them for my little HT set-up. I would love to up-grade to some Forte'II's and maybe in 10/15 years I'll buy some used Forte'III's lol lol....

Enjoyed the clip MCP.

This is truly good news...

I have been looking at the vintage models but sometimes it's nice have something new!

I hope they use the Heritage finishes.

Love the horns, I have 2 pair with horns, but it's hard to beat good ribbons.  Cheap horns can sound canny but the ones in the Forte are top end pieces of art that truly produce very nice sound.

Your going to buy a pair and bring them to Carverfest right! ?

It could happen.

 

If you think about it, the Chorus I & II's and Forte I & II's were built during the same time the original Cornwall II's and Heritage Cornwall II's were being built. Even back then, the Chorus and Forte lines were outperforming the Cornwall's, at least in the bass region. Though the Cornwall's were always a little more efficient.
