In Reply to: Alternatives to horns posted by jaydacus on September 7, 2011 at 00:29:04:
I have 1974 factory stock Cornwalls & 1989 Forte 1 with Bob Crites upgraded crossover & new tweeters. The amplifiers I use are either a DIY SE 2A3 or a highly modified Eico SE EL84. The EL84 has been tweaked to the point I like only specific El84 plate, bias & screen voltages, other select tubes & capacitors. The 12DW7 junk tube was replaced with a Tungsram E80cc (thank god) & amp is rounded out with Mullard EZ81. the EL84 actually gives the 2A3 a run for the money, but not a 2A3!
Anyways, I like the Forte better than the Cornwalls. I do not get any harshness at all, just a poor source sounds poor. I can hear these speakers are horns. The horns have an immediancy that is impressive IMO. But, the sonics are not true high-end. I rate the Forte 1 speakers mid HI-FI and enjoy the sonics. For the money the Forte is a good value.
