Yes that sounds like the thing to do but countless posts on this thread have people not having this problem rite out of the box…

@fmer - I fashioned them from copper pipe. Later, I learned about some copper anode strips (on Amazon) which would be MUCH easier to work with.
You need some tin snips (or a break press) to make the actual strips then drill a 9/64 hole and slide it over the binding post screw. you can use the existing stainless steel strip as a model. Another alternative is to find a copper "ring" terminal with a small enough hole and solder this directly on to the wire which goes to the crossover (eliminating the need for the strip). I couldn’t find a terminal with anything smaller than 1/4 hole. Note: Using the ring terminal probably voids the warranty. I saved all the strips so I can replace if new owner wants them. Also, the (stock) Fortes sound good at low volume but were melting my ears when cranked up. |
dweller Thanks for the info I definetly will make the change and report back after I do some listening. Installing the iso GaiaIi made a good amount of difference. |
Sorry to hear you're getting less than great results. I have had the Forte IV since they were launched. I used them with a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono amps and they sounded great. 40 w Push-pull, plenty of power. In my medium room I barely used a few watts. I switched gears and had a 300b amp built, sounds amazing to me. I tried my brother's 200 w Acurus amp..... not a good match. Agressive , kind of in your face. I believe it is a synergy thing with these speakers |
