To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...


What is your setup?
What have you learned?
What loudspeaker did you come from? 
Have you experimented with placement, sources, cables, etc.? 

The Forte IIIs are such a keeper.  I've enjoyed the journey with them and before I move on I'll exhaust possibilities with them first. 

Let your thoughts run...

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.
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!!
Good potential garbage Xover parts . I know threw experience 
on most all Klipsch speakers .a friend has them he replaced all the garbage resistors ,inductors,and capacitors , even the $12k Khorns  cheap Xover parts totally beyound believe made in China 
when in fact if you spend just 1k in Xover parts you would totally 
refine the speaker at least a 15% increase in resolution, imaging,
and soundstaging. Pull the woofer out you will see what I mean .
you want 1% resistors mills decent Pathaudio the best, 
abunch of Quality capacitors , Inductors Jantzen  Copper open coil.
