    Klipsch will make available a kit to upgrade from Forte III to Forte IV for $399 per pair of speakers. The usual misinformation was offered by fanboy Randy who stated it was $399 per speaker. Not true, per Bonehead.

    If yes, what would be the sonic advantage? If not, why not? Preamp would be either a C22 V3 or an MX110Z. Asking for a friend...... OK, and if so....how to accomplish this? Thanks.
