To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...

If anyone is familiar with me, and my posts, I will remind everyone here, that given the price points, and the easy and inexpensive way many Klipsch models can be improved upon, they are more musical, and enjoyable, to most anything else out there......And, I have been stating this for over 50 years now...My statement above, was based on the fact, that jbhiller was ready to move on...So many audiophiles, cannot " sit and listen ", because their systems are not musically engaging. Obviously, the other posters here, Klipsch owners, are engaged. Enjoy ! MrD.

My Heresy IIIs are a less expensive cousin of the  Fortes, and need subs (which I have), but man...what amazingly well designed fat little gems these things are, and I agree with the esteemed mister "d" as these things steal big chunks of my time every day.

happiness in the music IS the goal, enjoy!!!!!

I have a pair of Forte lll's. I have an Ayon Spirit lll, Line Magnetic LM-518ia, Yamaha A-S2100 and a separates system using a Schiit Freya S and Parasound A23+. All sound great with the Forte lll. Source and room are critical.. Garbage in garbage out as it is with all systems.
My source is a Bel Canto 2.7 DAC and Bluesound Node2 streaming Tidal hi-res.
When you hear the brush on a cymbal, Patricia Barber taking a breath in between words in a song and Miles Davis turning away from the microphone while playing his trumpet in YOUR listening room ... That's as good as it gets my friends.
The Forte lll's do that.
Happy listening regardless of what you own!

I have owned many speakers over the years. The Forte iii are the best speakers I ever had the pleasure of owning. They captivate me every time I listen. It was stated in an earlier post that when a speaker can move you emotionally and engage your senses completely you have found it ... The Forte iii do this. Power them with a Parasound pre and amp with Audioquest cables and this combo works beautifully. When the music fills your room as if it was being played right in front of you, I don't know how it can get any better!!
