Klipsch Forte III Test

i heard one of those in a record store a while ago, two of 'em  mounted high on a wall, didn't notice how much space there was behind 'em. but i was struck in that they didn't have the forward bright sound i'd heard in every other Klipsch product [aside from their Heresy] i'd heard up to that point. they were decidedly mellow. i don't know what kinda amp the store was using to power them with. but i decided then that if they all sounded like that, that i'd like a pair or two.

So satisfied was I with the Forte III’s that I purchased a pair of Forte IV’s as well. The IV’s have more refined mids IMO. On the right amp, I have not experienced listening fatigue as is sometimes the case with horn drivers. The Forte pair wonderfully with vintage solid state and particularly well with tubes. 

I love my Forte IV , they sound great.   Not even thinking about upgrading them anytime soon.   They stri,e a good balance of cost and performance 

One day I have to try a set in my system.
