Klipsch Speakers


I have a pair of Klipsch Forte IVs, they are bright will a tube amp really help?

Tube power may help since a few roll off a bit. You could try more toe-in an EQ or maybe some room treatment to get a proper balance to your sound.

I hear you, I have moved these things around so much it’s crazy lol

I was thinking about a equalizer but don’t know if messing with the sound is the answer…

 

The drivers used in Klipsch loudspeakers are not very sophisticated/expensive, you cannot expect them to sound as good as some very well-designed modern drivers. It sounds like you don't like what you are hearing and in that case, it might be time to move on. 

Some tubes are a bit softer than others, so it depends, but they’re likely easier on your ears than most solid state. That said, there are a lot of things in your audio chain that can come across as brightness and cause ear fatigue, and your speakers and internal components are certainly among them.

I’d also consider other speakers, or upgrading the wire and any cheap crossover components inside your Klipsch. Make sure your wires and cables are decent too.
