KLIPSCH Heritage speakers .


 I have been an audio enthusiast for most of my life.
 I have went through a plethora of speakers.
 Way too many to name.
 I have been a sales person at Sensuous Sounds in Tampa  as well as  Sound Advice where we sold high-end McIntosh  equipment and speakers and so much more .
So I do have a little experience .
 I now have a McIntosh amplifier preamplifier and tuner.
 And the speaker I have chosen for my mains are Klipsch Cornwall..
 I think they are amazing..
 Is there anyone here that has any of the Heritage line...
Thank you.

Several weeks ago I purchase Forte IIIs.  They are listed as Heritage yet someone on a different thread begged to differ and I'm not really sure. 

They are wonderful loudspeakers.  I disclosed my previous anti-Klipsch bias as well as my use of Totem, B&W, Monitor Audio, PSB and KEF loudspeakers in the past.  The Forte IIIs are audiophile speakers.  

I will say that to show their true stuff they need (in my system, my room, to my ears) tube amplification and are sensitive to the products feeding them.  I thought they weren't sensitive to room placement; they aren't in the general sense that they will sound great just about anywhere.  Soundstage depth, imaging and holography increase inordinately if care in positioning is taken. 

I'm smitten with them.  I have a dedicated room for them that works well for their size and positioning.  
I have a pair of Forte Is with Crites crossovers and titanium tweeter and midrange diaphragms: they are amazing speakers that punch way above their price (I've invested about $800 total in them).  If you have the space -- I'm currently running my Fortes in a 12x15 room and it is like trying to drive a muscle car through a congested suburb -- Cornwalls will knock your socks off.  

Klipsch and McIntosh is a fantastic combo.  The McIntosh tames the Klipsch tendency to being bright and forward whilst providing abundant detail: the Klipsch brightness keeps the McIntosh from sounding too warm and syrupy.
