I got the crossover kit for my Forte's, and was wondering if anyone has a good pic of the completed assy to help guide me through the assy process. Thanks much.

Shoot us an email on that and we'll send one over.

Thanks Danny, email sent.

To avoid crowding of the inductors and general ease of installation, I mounted the tweeter section of the crossover to the upper back right behind the tweeter and separated out woofer and mid sections at the bottom panel to opposite sides.
Text me with your email address if you want closeups or any other advice for this upgrade.

Hey pwag,
Looks like you did a very nice job on your Forte upgrade. How did the sound change and do you like it?

Tom,
Thanks! I didn't have much time to listen to the stock Forte IIIs and had no time for measurements, but I can say that the resolution improved quite a bit with Danny's crossover upgrade and the bass is cleaner too. I have been running them with Don Sachs pre/main and soon will do more listening with some of my other low power amps (Danny's new chip amp, Elekit 8600s, and Sony VFets). The cabinet is now dead quiet with the bracing and the No Rez.  The wood is really rough on the inside.. just like cheap plywood so getting that sanded a bit for the No Rez to stick was quite some work including the fitting of the No Rez pieces between the braces. Since I was so busy, I had Elon wire up the crossover for me. I highly recommend him for those who are busy or don't know how to get around building the crossover. Overall, I would do this upgrade again and highly recommend Danny's kit.

Beautiful crossover!  I love the idea to double up on + and - wires at the tube connectors for each board instead running each connection in series between boards.

If anyone's interested, I'm about to put up my Danny-modified Klipsch Forte III's up for sale.  Figured I'd give the GR Research people a heads up before posting it in the Sales area.
