Don't really like them much, too in your face, but I think the Forte are the most "musical" of all the Klipsch, but definitely not the loudest. I had the MkIII

Your tastes seem to be in the upper echelon.... Wilson , Magico.... which most can’t afford.   Why dis a speaker you aren’t even interested in, and I’m willing to bet you never heard the Forte IV .

I've had Klipsch-Horn and La-Scala and the Forte. I don't like "horn-shout" is that ok ? And like I said the Forte was the most musical of them all.
And my tastes if you search are big ESL's.
It took all three of those to realize that?   I hear them calling you over at AudioAfficianado.....

Fine in the headbanging days, but slowly that in "your face shout" gets to you after a while you when you mature. In the last 30 years it’s been big ESL with Plasma highs for me with proper bass subs that go down >150hz with detail.
But like I said the Forte was the most musical of those Klipsch’s
