I think that my two amp situations fall on the extremes of what I need. My 300B sounds glorious with the Forte IIIs but my room is a bit large and I wish it had more power. My other amp is a Primaluna HP premium integrated. The Fortes sound best with KT150s in the amp. BUT, the PL volume control must stay below 9:30/10:00 o'clock--my sense is it's too much juice. Would I be better off with a 30w tube amp?
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.

, interesting , those are the reasons I like the F3 ;) nasal, highly colored quality of the vocals and the lack of imaging and sound stage depth |
With the Forte IIIs it is really a different kind of imaging than a lack of imaging. It’s more akin to live music. I hear specific image locations and depth but not as pronounced. At first I thought I might miss such imaging. Later it seemed more natural to me. Both are interesting frameworks to listen to recorded music. After living with the Klipsch for a year, it did change my perspective on hyper imaging. Now, I still appreciate it but I’m more after a bigger holographic sound. I’m not as desirous of hearing something so perfectly placed because it sounds more processed to me now. |
