To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...

avanti1960  , interesting , those are the reasons I like the F3 ;)
nasal, highly colored quality of the vocals and the lack of imaging and sound stage depth

With the Forte IIIs it is really a different kind of imaging than a lack of imaging. It’s more akin to live music. I hear specific image locations and depth but not as pronounced.  At first I thought I might miss such imaging. Later it seemed more natural to me. Both are interesting frameworks to listen to recorded music.  

After living with the Klipsch for a year, it did change my perspective on hyper imaging. Now, I still appreciate it but I’m more after a bigger holographic sound. I’m not as desirous of hearing something so perfectly placed because it sounds more processed to me now.  

Jbhiller I agree with your assessment. Not sure if I can go back to something other than the Forte iii.... and the sound they produce. 

I'm going to have some older Heresys(vintage 80s?) here on Friday to listen to courtesy of my brother.He wants to hear them with tubes.I've never heard them before.We listen to his Cornwalls when I visit him.It'll be fun to compare them to my Tektons.I'll let you all know!

Hificrazed, I agree with your view on it being hard to go to something else. I’m torn between selling the Primaluna to fund a new lower powered amp versus staying put.
