Klipsch Heresy vs Forte

Had them both. Forte is a much better speaker. 

Love my Heresy IIIs and did not like the plastic diaphragm in redesigned mid horn of the IVs, preferring the sound of the titanium IIIs. Have wondered if the Forte IV suffered the same as the Heresy. The Heresy requires a good front end for sure, and with that they're great (I use a couple of REL subs with mine).

The entire IV series has the upgraded mid-range horns.  If that's not your cup of tea skip the Forte IV.  I think many would agree it was a welcome change, but you can't please all the people all the time. 

There is always the Quartet, a much missed little brother of the Forte :)

I wonder why they got rid of the Quartet, there's plenty of room price wise between the Heresy at 3,200 and Forte at 5k, its actually a bigger price gap then the Forte to the Cornwall (6,600), especially when expressed as a % increase.  Worried it would cannibalize Heresy & Forte sales? 

Getting back to the original video, I think the main takeaway for me is that the older models represent some incredible used bargains, especially if they can be found in pristine condition like the ones in the video.
