it’s possible! he’s been toying with miniDSP for a couple years now, I think this has always been the plan, he’s just been slow about committing.did he watch that I built the best stereo system in the world video or something ?

I saw one of these in the listening room of an acquaintance once. It was one of three tables he had in there and my favorite by far. I bet the bass was startling ? I heard one playing a Little Richard record once and was gobsmacked. He has a Fairchild belt drive with wooden tonearm now thats...

About fair for MkI's, I have seen them a little lower, and up to 1200 in the last year. Seeing you do not have to drive a distance is a bonus. Just keep in the mind the Mk1 has a 10" passive woofer in the back as opposed to later models 12". Some like the Mk1 better than mk2/3 tbh. Just test them out and make sure there working ok. I nearly went with Forte's before finding my Cornwall's. Every pair I have heard sound great and they are quite efficient.Someone by me is selling a very good looking pair of Forte I for $800. Is this a good deal or about market for these? I'm not in the market for new (to me) speakers at the moment but I have started thinking about endgame and my plan to get there. If this is the deal of the century and would satisfy the endgame speaker itch, I might pounce.

Very good speaker, totally fair price if they are in good shape. As @JohnnyCashFan mentioned, people tend to be divided on which revision of the Forte they like best, but all are good. It may be in need of a new crossover network at some point.Someone by me is selling a very good looking pair of Forte I for $800. Is this a good deal or about market for these?

Thanks both. I'll probably hold off unless the price drops to something I can't pass up. They are gorgeous speakers and it seems like everyone that gets a pair keeps them forever.

I wanna hear these so badly.
Scroll down and there’s an interesting article about Advent speakers. I bought a used mint pair of Large Advents from the then service manager at Conrad Johnson, which wasn’t far up the street from the shop I managed. The “gang” used to get together every Friday for lunch.Watch: Vintage footage of speaker genius Paul Klipsch at his Hope, Arkansas facility | In Sheeps Clothing

I only have about 20 hours on them so far. I hear the bass opens up a bit after about 100 hours (time for speaker surrounds to loosen up). But I really don't need more bass. I was listening to The Cranberries - Everybody Else is Doing it... and spent the whole album just focused on the drums. Never were that real and obvious to me before. It was a fun experience.
I mean, I love my Forte IIs, but the IVs are awfully tempting.
Have you ever tried elevating your Fortes? When I am sitting on the floor with head closer to midrange driver I think it is even more open and dynamic.
Due to some water intrusion, I actually had to dispose of my old bases, and replaced them with elevated/tilted metal bases. I lost a little of the lower bass reinforcement from the original footers, but it otherwise sounds great.
