Klipsch Heresy vs Forte

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.

I have both too, and will hang on to them until I run out of space and forced to decide what stays.  Thank you for the comparison video, and, please, give the dog some treats for his performance!  Tom

I've had both of these in the latest series and the Cornwall. The Cornwall is the winner for it power and finesse, but the Forte (currently using) is a close second and Heresy is great too but just smaller in sound and impact.

I've owned some pretty well regarded speakers in excess of $20k and I really like this series. They are fairly ugly but they sound engaging, detailed and are fun to listen to.

Some of the speakers I've owned have more transparency or disappear into the room more, or allow you to hear deeper into the music, but that's expected at different price points.   

I never thought I'd be a Klipsch owner, and in the afterlife I might have to spend time in audiophile purgatory, but I'm having lots of fun with them. They do enough things right for my tastes. 

Thanks for posting, nice video.
