Klipsch Speakers

I have tried for 50 years to 'like' Klipsch speakers, I have always failed.  I have listened in stores, at shows, in Klipsch demonstrations and friends homes. I have listened with solid state, tubes and hybrids of all possible configurations and prices. They, to my ears, have been universally awful. If you don't like them changing amp, speakers, rooms, treatments, sources, cables and anything else will make no difference. They will, to you, continue to sound bright beyond belief.

I would suggest using tube amplification from the same era as the speakers, such as Conrad Johnson mid range amps, which were renowned for rolling off highs.

Check with online stores and inquire about a home demo. Many offer a trial period and could offer suggestions as to what pairs well with your Fortes. Demo a couple amps and if not happy , try different speakers. 

Everyone has given me great advice. Thank you

Yes I have run them in, after wasting some cash on these speakers, my budget for new speakers is $10…

ATC powered comes to mind… Amphion Argon 7LS 

the Naim Uniti Atom might work with Focal being they merged… 

anyone have any ideas… I listen to everything except jass and country
