I just picked up a pair of original owner Forte I's for $1100 with original boxes and manual etc. Only a few VERY minor imperfections but otherwise in stunning condition. REALLY enjoying them!! Powering with a EAR864 preamp and Threshold S/200 amp currently but also have an EAR890 I'll be swapping in to compare.

Even though I am more muscular and physically intimidating now than when I was 20, the reality is skinny 20 year old me could easily kick 64 year old me's butt. IMO 85% of self defense as an older man is just looking like you can defend yourself to deter the vultures hunting for an easy mark.

What is crossover?

I ran two Bryston 2b amps in the 1980's and I bought then from Harry's HiFi in Regina, Saskatchewan. Amazing journey for this company. p.s. Frank Zappa used Bryston. RIP Frankie

fun review

Thanks for the review. I have one coming in a few days . Lookign forward to listening to it.

chill papi

I may pull the trigger on a pair of Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2EX V2 for my nearfield setup at my PC 😀

Νo testing on classical music at all.Every company does the same in Hi-End shows.

A lot goes into best sounding besides the amp.

Best ever really,

Okay, so what’s the second best 😅

VERY Nice! !!

I really like the sound of my Forte 1’s. I’m thinking of upgrading to Forte 4’s or Cornwall 4’s but you are giving me something to think about. My only concern with my Forte’s is that the bass sounds soft. What do you think?

Thanks, what age are you and how many years have you been lifting?

Why should i listen to you over any other fitness youtube?

Do you do rampup sets for only compound movements or isolation as well?

Thank you very much sir!

Thank you!

Tu fai allenamento in jeans??😮

Very nice. I follow the mentzer approach i must admit... all eggs in the intensity basket on some select exercises. Build them overtime and allow time for not just full recovery, but also overcompensation to occur. 30 yo man here love the videos

LMFAO --- you look better than that guy from I am Longevity? `That guy would literally destroy you. You look like a corpse and an ey drunk. I cannot belive you have the audacity to even compare yourself to him. I am literally LMFAO. I mean, just look at you. Can you even move? I can set up a meeting with you and him. Would you like that? I mean in person.

Your 💯👍👌😉

100% agree and this is how my training runs now. I work on the exercises that I feel work best for me and limit injury risk. I rotate them, hitting a push, pull, and leg exercise in each workout. Maybe some calves or Stretching as assistance to finish. Getting more gains and better recovery and the workouts stay interesting.

You ought to see my ADS 1230s, purchased in 1983. Talk about mint condition. Not for sale. Not yet at least.

nice video

I agree 100% on the idea to train to live and not live to train analogy. Health is the absolute treasure and training helps to achieve that.

The Press Behind the Neck gets a bad rap, but it has always helped my shoulders feel good. I don't lower the bar as far as you do, I go just below the bottom of the ears. Stay Strong!!

I am doing some crazy training at the moment, I am just using it to help the fat burn, a temporary phase. In recent years I find my training has become very seasonal, I tend to go heavy barbell in the warmer months and light and fast and voluminous kettlebell in the cooler months. I doubt this is optimal but there is a good argument that doing what keeps you interested in the process trumps perfect robotic programming.

the kinobody and leangains guys are on gear. Just saying, you cant use them as examples of abbreviated training.

not even close to a vintage Tannoy unless you demoed with tubes and a sub

needs a sub and tube gear

Top alnico sound ❤one of the best demos, very impressed

30 yo guy here.. just found my new favourite fitness channel

I have to show this to my coworker who is about your age. He has.given up on himself physically and spiritually. He ridicules me for continuing to get after it.

This is very timely. I'm taking a few days to travel visiting family. I was already looking forward to work out with my brother in his garage gym. After watching this I think it will be better to chill with mom by the pool.😂

I'm ten years younger than you and training since 13. I needed to hear this from someone like you. My biggest problem is doing too much. Thanks for sharing brother! Just found your channel and working through your catalog.

Great advice! 2 weeks off most people get stronger afterwards.

I agree! It should alway be about getting stronger and staying strong as we age. There is no reason to "slow" down as we age. Of course the weight on the bar may come down because of aging but JUST KEEP PUSHING! As long as you do it relatively safe (there is always a risk) being older should never stop you. Learn while your young not to overtrain and be reasonable with your form you will remain structurally sound. Having big muscles is definitely part of why we lift but should not be the sole reason. Being stong for life is a far, far better reason to lift. A stonger muscle will definitely grow so just get stronger. Stronger muscle will also keep you healthier. One more thing, stay strong with awkward lifts also. Heavy sandbags, stones and logs. Chop wood, jump, sprint and throw stuff.

I bought my Forte 1,s in 1988 and still have them, they're almost in the same condition as yours with a few minor blemishes, they still sound great on all kinds of music 😊

good video bro

Came very close to buying the Forte in 1986. Got a deal on Polk SDA1-C's I couldn't turn down and I still have them in mint, upgraded condition. I am finally getting the Forte lV ( in Cherry) and will be picking them up 9/10/24. They will be my main speakers in my new "retirement" home. I'm very much looking forward to relaxing, looking over the lake and playing every CD and piece of vinyl in my collection. I'm also happy knowing my 2 sons will have to figure out who gets which pair of speakers. Boy....living would be great if that is the most difficult decision they have to make in life.😆

I bought the first gen round box version new…use them with my Panasonic VT60 Plasma.…also have 1 forte 2…They look amazing…

Nice find. Loving the dance tracks.

Great discussion point and those are good numbers. I agree around the need for safety when lifting. My rack has let me push my limits and not fear failing a lift. I value the importance of the basic exercises but have moved to the variations to overcome long term injuries and what i feel works for me right now. Will still return to the standard's as a strength test once in a while to mark my progress. Its a long process training totally natural but i just enjoy the privilage to work out the health benefits and see the gradual improvement.

I agree just about 100%. In my 40s I had a 330 lb bench, 470 squat, 590 deadlift. But life got in the way, I emphasised work and I also got into endurance sport. Not terrible but it chipped away at my strength and only at the beginning of this year did I decide I need to address this, so I am making a comeback with the barbells. The problem is that the mindset to succeed this way, naturally, flies in the face of current societal values. It is very hard, it takes time. It’s not the instant consumer self gratification. It is “ old school”. All you need is a basic bare bones set up, no shiny machines, no real need for the attractive commercial gym. A bar, plates, bench, rack. That is it. And a gut full of fight.

Try some quicksilver amps on them if you want to step into the music

Ive had an audio business for years and everybody that comes in likes the forte 1 better than current speakers. They were also Paul Klipsch favorite model. The 2s have a nasy peak in the upper mids and the larger horn will tear your head off

These are great speakers. N9ne of the other Klipsch are as good. Ive had them all. The 1s are much better
