To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...

As a follow up to previous message, I did experiment with speaker placement - more like I adjusted my seating area to be 8-10 feet away, and I turned them a little inward based on some suggestions I saw. And I have them about a foot from the back wall. So after moving around I found that to be the best sounding set up. It's crazy, I hear things that sound to the left and right of the speakers sometimes.

One thing I do need some guidance on is speaker cables. I know they say just crank down bare generic speaker wire, but I'd like to go for something not quite so primitive. I don't like the banana jacks, and would like to go to the spade connectors and crank them down. Any suggestions?

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on some Forte'  III..... been enjoying my Heresy III and have been on the fence whether to upgrade to the Heresy IV or Forte.  Going to demo them side by side within the next week or two....hoping the extra $1k is justified.

If you can hold out for a couple of months, the Forte IV is right around the corner.

For a while I sold  Klipsch for their  largest dealer in US.
I thought the only one that really any good was the Forte . And it was very
good .Would even sell it to a Classical  fan.

I was wondering if a "IV" version was on the horizon.....Im sure there will be a price hike.... $4k is my max and im getting a fair amount for mine on trade so I think I am going to get a pair in distressed oak.
