To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...

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.   

The used market for Forte IIIs is healthy.  I had mine for 27 months and sold them for $2600.  [I upgraded to Cornwall IVs]. 

I'd be curious to see the Forte IV, as the III was a great design in its own right. 

Was running Focal 807’s and looking at ATC and Buchardt. Heard Heresy IV’s and that sealed it.

My H4’s are being driven by an Odyssey Khartago with Morrow SP4 speaker cables (backed up by a pair of Rythmik L12’s because my room eats bass like I eat pizza).

Each Klipsch model does some things better than others, and are different enough from one another to accommodate those personal preferences listeners have. Of course, anyone who can stretch to the CW IVs, will be doing themselves a favor. At least, Klipsch is showing non believers that they are very fun and enjoyable speakers, that truly engage listening. Enjoy ! MrD.
