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...

Hificrazed, I agree with your view on it being hard to go to something else. I’m torn between selling the Primaluna to fund a new lower powered amp versus staying put.  

"Yes, the Klipsch Heritage, and the Cinema and pro lines, are made here. The other Klipsch products, have been made in China for quite a while now. And ?"


@jsautter ,


And the RF-7 III and RC-64 III.

Just to clarify.

Just finished up listening to the Heresys my brother brought over for the day.He looked up the serial# so these were made in 1977.They were really fun to listen to,a really nice midrange.hashy on top though.We most enjoyed live acoustic music rather than a full rock band just because of the hash that replaced the cymbals.We think with an upgraded crossover they would be great little speakers.We tilted the front up with books for a positive change.My Tektons have much more inner detail and are more refined in comparison.We enjoyed both.
I sent my brother home with my old Rogue preamp(tubes!) a couple of power cords and ics to try.I'll bring him over to the dark side yet;-)
jtcf, Dynamat the mid horns and the tweeters of the Heresys, before the crossover upgrade. Lots of info on the net as how to do it.
I didn't know I was supposed to "dynamat" the tweeters! Mrdb has let me down (and I have no idea where I put the leftover dynamat) ...also, I heard a pair of new Cornballs, uh, I mean Cornwalls today at a dealer...sounded great and looked gigantic in person (as opposed to in articles)...made my beloved Heresy IIIs look relatively tiny. When I got home I apologized to my Heresy IIIs for enjoying another speaker, put some music on, and realized again how utterly great they sound.
