Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III

Yes, while not completely fossilized, I remember the cassette advertisement- although with a Tandberg ( off topic but a Dragon killer ) I would never use Memorex.....

ya sound anchors will rock solid couple to floor and make micrometer ( near) tilt adjustment possible....

TDK was my favorite. 
I still have my splicing kit with the splice tape and all. Have TEAC reel to reel still, in a box though. 

One of the reasons I switched to the Treo's is the Sound Anchors on the 3a sigs made them so hard to position in my crowded room. If they kept the same footprint as the speaker, instead of extending backward, things would have been less complicated.
In any case, it was a good move. The Treo's are a much advanced speaker, and they look much nicer.

I have owned all of the Klipsch models mentioned. I just recently sold, locally, a pair of self modified ( I modify everything ) Epic CF2s ( the best out of the 4 Epic models, imo ), but, just like the 2 pair of Heresys I still own, I was not listening to them, as I have multiple systems set up. The Epic series was a different animal for Klipsch, and were a good design. Roy Delgado ( Epic designer ) is still with Klipsch, as far as I know ). Parts for them are hard to come by if needed. My Lascala system is the one that brings me my " joy of listening ". The biggest upgrade you can make to a Klipsch speaker ( any model ), is to heavily dampen the horn, using a material such dynamat. However, any upgrade takes them further. And yes, I am saying it ( as I have said elsewhere ) that all Klipsch were manufactured with a specified price point, and that all can be taken to a much higher level with upgrades and mods. My favorite Klipsch models have always been the Khorn, Belle, and Lascala. As a semi retired, single ( divorced ) man, I have free reign of any room. Any Klipsch lover should go to the Klipsch forums. Enough of my gab. Enjoy all. MrD.
