Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel

The wife has banished my 2 channel audio addiction to a spare bedroom and I need some input on my selections. I have 2 klipsch rf7iis that front a 5.2 in the living room. Pushed by a Denon 4311ci. My wife loves them and won't surrender. My pioneer sx-1080 is the receiver I use for 2 channel and used to power the rf7s . I have JBL Northridge towers as well that I can't stand for stereo. I have been looking at some Klipsch KG4s as well as some Heresys. Looking for some opinions on the pros and cons of each. I listen to mostly vinyl and I like it loud.

i really liked the quartets, which had plenty of bass, are inexpensive and will match well with your pioneer

Look for some used Fortes. The new IIIs look nice and the reviews are good but pricey @ $3600ish.

I have been driving Heresy I's in my spare bedroom and Heresy II's in my master bedroom for years and can find no reason to change.  Either of those will sound wonderful with your Pioneer 1080.  Look for either of those and also Quartets and Fortes.  I once owned and enjoyed KG4's but sold them after finding my Fortes.

I have owned Khorns, Forte 1s, and Lascalas. Friends have Heresys and KG4s. If you don’t want to use subwoofers I’d go with used Fortes. They will be great For the type of music you listen to.

In the right room, Heresys will get you "close" to "full range".  My spare bedroom Heresys benefit greatly from boundary gain with audible frequencies just below 40Hz.  Not perfect but still very enjoyable with most music.
