Without subs? 100% the Forte III. The Heresy has no bass extension and needs subs.
Klipsch Forte III verses Heresy IVs
I am considering buying some Klipsch speakers. Due to budget I can go Heresy IV or Forte III. They say the Heresy and Forte IVs have never better crossovers. Can I get some input from knowledgeable Klipsch folks on how these two compare? Please keep the conversations limited to Klipsch Heresy & Forte. TYIA

I owned the Heresy III, really liked them. I went to buy a soundbar for my daughter and saw the Heresy IV sitting there and had to listen.... then I listened to the Forte III and wanted to buy but they were out of stock. I ended up getting the Forte IV and it was absolutely worth the money. Great speaker ....if you can be patient and get a used pair, or B stock,, maybe stretch the budget a little you will not be disappointed. |
Having heard both the forte iii and IV the IV is worth waiting for a deal on. The different crossover design/drivers make a big difference. I know you don’t want other speaker speaker recommendations but… it is audiogon lol, so… the JBL 590 is worth looking at. They list for $2000 BUT they are on sale from JBL every 3 months or so for 1/2 price. They have free shipping and a 30 day (maybe 60) trial. https://www.jbl.com/loudspeakers/STUDIO+590.html Not sure this link will work but you can download a review as a pdf here with measurements. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?attachments/jbl-s590-australian-hifi-review-pdf.5... |
