Missing tube integrated for Klipsch Forte III?
tuberist516 posts05-17-2020 12:57pmForte III is not a low end machine. Mapman made a very good suggestion to add subs. tuberist, I'll tell you, their not bad.. really.. They may not, LOL, SLAM, whatever that means, go deep enough? Maybe? But they measure pretty well, the bass is not bloated, nor is it lacking. Compared to most, in that range, 802 and a few other, They can reach right down there, with pretty good authority. If you want, Boom Boom, in the room room... different, question.. OP was asking about Valve, Amps, and EL34s for god sakes.. hee hee Got to get the guy on the same page first..BASS and EL34 don't really go together with the word SLAM! But they play pretty good down to 40 hz or so. Very Klipsch. like.. It's a horn... But OP, knew that going in, right?. Klipsch is horn loaded. and, a loudspeaker, in every conceivable way. Get them close to the back wall really.. I've actually tinkered with this speaker, nephew has a pair. Don't pull them out from the wall. Won't image well, but that is the factory preferred way 2-12" Regards Report this |
With my Heresy IV speakers I am using Tung-Sol 7581a tubes in my Primaluna Dialogue Premium. Find they have almost the minds of the El34 but stronger low end with the extra watts. Used KT88s, EL34s, and KT120s previous but the 7581a is the keeper for me. Not likely a fix for the lack of bass though. Subs or a different speaker. |
