Klipsch Speakers

I have a pair of Forte IV’s that was connected to an NAD M33 Int Amp and found the sound to be thin and bright. I then was able to acquire a McIntosh MA352 hybrid integrated amp and it changed everything! I found that positioning the speakers made accentuated the bass and balanced everything out  I added a KEF KC62 sub and it’s now an incredible system. 

Using a Bluesound Node feeding a Chord Mscaler to Chord Qutest.

This system is in a small room 14’x12’ home office and it’s where I spend a lot of time and listen at low levels most of the day and then crank it up. I listens to Jazz, electronic, classical and a bunch of other genres  

I have another more upscale system and the forte IV’s w my current set up are so pleasing  

Hope you find the pieces to make you love them  

ps-I was never a Klipsch fan 

@silverfoxvtx1800 ,  Can you tell us about your system components, room, and listening preferences?  

I have La Scalas powered by a McIntosh tube preamp and amp setup. No brightness at all to my ears. 

The system is simple which maybe was a bad idea, the Naim Uniti Atom a two streamer,dac and 40 watts hooked to the forte IVs. 

THE room is 12ft wide and I sit about 13 ft from everything, carpet with lots of my wife’s quilts on the walls…

I try to listen to everything except jass and country…

I have found that horns made from plastic or metal can ring enough that some people hear them as bright or brash. Any brand of horn mid or tweeter can have this ringing.  I put damping material like Dynamat on the backs of these horns with great results. No other changes made and the bright bite is gone.
