Brothers from another Mother ?


   My wife and I attended the Tampa show two years ago and found  'Horn' speakers to be to our liking .
So , we have been trying to find something that will fit in our 13' X 24' rec room , look decent and give us
that 'Horn' sound that we desire . I would also like something that is efficient enough for SET and Class A  amplification . We currently have a Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated amp .
   I have been reading about the Klipsch Forte 4 and the Volti Razz . These two seem to be more alike than different . About all that I can tell is different solutions to bass management . Klipsch's rear radiator and Volti's
front ports . Both are able to meet our requirement of close to the wall behind them , about a foot or less .
   We are not able to audition anything so have been relying on "You tube" vid's and written reviews . I know , but it is all that we are able to do !
   A reviewer has a "You tube" video comparing the Klipsch Heresy 4 , Forte 4 and La Scala 5's . In that review he 
plays all three speakers with the same equipment and song for each . My wife preferred the Forte 4 over the Heresy 4 . She stated that the Heresy 4 had too much energy up top and it was harder to understand the lyrics  as compared to the Forte 4 , we won't consider the La Scala's . I thought that the Heresy 4's were quite good on the vocals putting them up front and the instruments in the background , sort of . Whereas the Forte 4's kind of recessed the midrange/lyrics to be equal to the bass and treble . Sort of all areas of bass , midrange and treble to be on an equal plane . This was through both existing speakers and headphones . ( I  don't understand the difference but that is for another thread ! )
   Can anyone help with how the Volti Razz would compare to the Klipsch Heresy 4 and/or Forte 4 ?

   Thank you for your contributions and be Safe .

So actually I just was buying a sound bar for my daughter....but naturally I wanted to hear the Heresy IV ...I had heard the Cornwall IV and they are awesome e but too big ... for me anyway.   I would buy them if space allowed. 

So I hadn't heard a Forte in a long time and listened to the Forte III....  my dealer told me the Forte IV was coming out which I waited for.   He only had demo III in stock .   The midrange is definitely the reason to buy the IV over the III....
To all of you Forte 4 owners ... do you find the treble , midrange and bass to be equally represented ?
Or do the Forte's accentuate one particular area of sound more than others ?

Happy tunes and be Safe .
Just brought home a pair of La Scala IIs. To say I'm gobsmacked is an understatement...
Hello,
You should listen to the JBL HDI series. $2000 for a pair of bookshelf speakers that seem to run nicely on lower wattage. Very good sound. Off Axis response sounded great too.
