Bought my Klipsch Forte II's new in 1990 and still use them every day. Had a copy of 1812 Overture with real cannons firing, there was no distortion. Really a magnificent speaker.
Ese amplificador es lo más hermoso que puede existir. Como quisiera yo poseer esa joya divina de sonido. Cuantos recuerdos maravillosos unidos entre Klipsch...Scott....Dire straits. Thanks a lot.
Sounds unbelievable. Great stuff man. So dynamic but smooth Got some Forte IIs in walnut coming with the crites Crossovers already in, titanium Diaphragms already in, some nice Dynamat and no rez mods. Etc. Basically same stuff I did to my KG4s, but someone else already did it. They're in unbelievable shape too. Pretty dam excited. Got em for $725 too and no shipping as I'm picking them up. Mods, that I would have done anyway, alone are $400 so I basically got them for 325. Can't beat it, especially how the prices are skyrocketing. Patience pays off. Right now I'm using my KG4s with my 1959 Bell carrilion 6060 EL34 amp, all Telefunken and 1950s amperex 12ax7s and Mullard xf2s in it. Love that bell. Although Scott's are what got me into tubes so big fan too. Using a separate lounge audio gold lcr max phono stage, and my JVC-QL75. Rotate between my signet TK10ml and Empire Edr9 cart. Right now it sounds great. And I was honestly never a Forte fan. But j finally heard the IIs and loved them. I like them better the Is. Changed my impression of the Forte. Sounded wider. More depth imo too. And midrange was better Anyway I can't wait as they're going to fit in perfectly I was going to go crazy and spend an ton of money on "Audiophile" speakers. But imo not only do good klipsch sound unbelievable, but they dominate in dynamics, presence, realness and soul. They get my feet tapping immediately. And imo those are the most important things behind sound quality in general. Thera nothing worse than a speaker that doenst get my feet tapping imo. And they love vintage tube amps. So it was an easy choice. Hell my KG4s sounded great.
After sweating it out for almost a week I just bought a pair of these for 360 on ebay . Going to pick them up at goodwill in the A.M. . I can hardly wait !
These Scott tube integrated amps were usually pulled from old consoles which is why the chassis is mostly exposed minus the faceplate. This one is a 299c that has been fully restored and it sounds great!
Thanks for your comments and inquiry! I still plan on doing videos. Over the last few months we've moved into a new home and I've been busy getting moved and settled. I'm also working on a new recording setup, so I'm hoping to offer even better SQ on these recordings. Stay tuned!
please, at the least , list your equipment paired with these speakers. its a stereo chain, all items interact and influence the sound. you did a video so why not at least list the complimentary items in your system? also, you do realize that album was one of the 10 best mixed and recorded albums of generations, and that also impacts what we hear.
Sorry, I usually add the recording setup in the info, but in this case I didn’t. The audio was recorded with a Zoom H1 external mic mounted on a tripod at listening position.
I really like when my sound systems sound is identical to my headphones it sounds great but at first it sounded strange because my tweeters loudness is a lot lower then what it used to be
what is your sound system , my grado ps1000 is very good , but no real match for my klipsch hip with upgraded filter and amp camp home made amplifier ...
I didn't say I was pleased with my sound system and my sound system and headphones sound has only been identical since 2 days ago so I don't know the sound of my sound system very much

Sounds amazing. Smooth and transparent with solid bass.

I bought my cornwall 2's in Cincinnati ohio in 1985 and still enjoy
Classic tubes & Klipsch made for Marks guitar
bravo 👏
And now I want some Klipsch Forte II's!
Would love to hear one of these in real life. If they can sound this good on you tube, I can't imagine how good it sounds in real life.
In my opinion these put the new Klipsch to shame!! Not phony highs and lows! Pure sound as it was meant!
Agreed
Amazing song, amazing sounding speakers 👍
Not only lovely tubes, but also they are warm up the music room for winter time. Nice set up!

Same exact thing. My walnut Forte 2's came with Crites crossovers and the tweeter diaphragm upgrade. Have you done titanium in the squaker?
Great warm and different sound, good music choice, you are a professional, man! More music, please :-)
Sounds GREAT.

Richard V well done, my friend. You're going to love them!
And do you have them richard?
360? Wtf. And you sweat that out? They're like 1200 nowadays which is 2 years later than your post
@@el34glo59 ya i saw some for 600 and almost got them, 360 is a steal. i would of picked them up all day for that
@@HealhoeGaming I just watched a beat to shit pair ,with a torn passive on top of it, sell for $640
Beautiful
Very nice clean simple setup, Matthew!
Very quality sound
Muy hermosas las klipsch, y que bien se escuchan
Have you thought about getting them higher off the floor? I removed the stupid little base and then raised 10 inches. Huge improvement!
Aw shit! Just realized when I subscribed I didn't hit the notification button!
What's the story behind the Scott? Looks like a Rolex Integrated (if Rolex made integrateds)!
These Scott tube integrated amps were usually pulled from old consoles which is why the chassis is mostly exposed minus the faceplate. This one is a 299c that has been fully restored and it sounds great!
I have a 299c that needs restoration. Is there someone you recommend? Yours looks and sounds great.
Great system!
Super system !!!
Klipsch should've used this video ,
NIce setup, I like!
Thanks, Anthony!
very nice
How did you record this? The bass is excellent.
This was recorded with a Zoom H1 mic placed at the listening position. I loved the way the Forte II's could pressurize this room. Really fun speakers!
making my tv sound better for sure.
I got SCOTT 299 (A) Stereo Tube Integrated Amplifier with Walnut Cabinet
Are you not doing videos anymore? Haven't seen you for awhile.
Thanks for your comments and inquiry! I still plan on doing videos. Over the last few months we've moved into a new home and I've been busy getting moved and settled. I'm also working on a new recording setup, so I'm hoping to offer even better SQ on these recordings. Stay tuned!
@@FaSTiEJ257 still have the Fortes?
Sounds very good! How big is your room?
Thanks! That room was around 13x20x8.
@@FaSTiEJ257 Is that the short wall?
@@el34glo59 The speakers are setup on the 13' wall.
I'd really be glad to hear your opinion about Fortes vs. ADS 910 and L2030
Just my opinion - but I think 910 would be close but the 2030 would blow them out of the water.
@@lesmatthews459 I'd go klipsch within the 910. But the 2030 is a monster I agree
I had this exact setup. My wife ruined it.
Do you miss her?:):):)
TUBES AND HORNS sweet!

Wonder why the audio doesnt change with camera position.

@@FaSTiEJ257 gotcha thanks. Sounded too good to be true 😛
nice
Klipsch Forte II Jempol...
I really like when my sound systems sound is identical to my headphones it sounds great but at first it sounded strange because my tweeters loudness is a lot lower then what it used to be
what is your sound system , my grado ps1000 is very good , but no real match for my klipsch hip with upgraded filter and amp camp home made amplifier ...
the lowest frequency my mid speaker makes is 300 hertz that means my mid speaker is better then your mid speaker Matthew Krepp
I like your logic here. All bow to patk2, king of mid speakers!
Matthew Krepp the sound from my sound system and headphones is identical
I'm glad you're pleased with your sound system. How about sharing the details of your setup?
I didn't say I was pleased with my sound system and my sound system and headphones sound has only been identical since 2 days ago so I don't know the sound of my sound system very much
Nobody cares.....
