Klipsch FII's with mods vs. FIII's

Haha. Thanks

Ozzy, thanks.
So what are you coming off of speaker wise?  Are the III's blowing you away compared to some comparably priced 3-ways?

Cornscala's, interesting. Ok, let me say, I'm not big on change if I like what I got. I have the same system since 1980 with ADS 1230's. I moved into a new house with a different dynamic in the listening room, Vaulted ceiling, glass, open room on right channel, furniture, etc.  Anyways, it's not sounding as good as it did before the move. Speakers have never been recapped. Could that be the difference? 38 years?  Wish I could do an A/B. 

So I went and auditioned the 1991 Forte II's today with no mods.  I had not listened to Klipsch speakers, La Scallas & Kornerhorns, in 30 years. I wanted to like them but.....I found the highs too bright for my liking, just like 30 years ago. I listened for a long time and they tired me and I wanted quiet !!  I believe I'm not a tweeter and/or mid horn guy. It's been almost 20 years since the now resurrected Forte III's. Can I, should I expect anything different? Or is a horn is a horn is a horn? Don't know if I can even find an audition for them. 

Sorry, he had a tube amp with a tube pre-amp. He did caution that they would sound altogether different with a SS amp. 

Yup. Darn. I first saw La Scallas when I was a kid a loooong time ago. I love the Klipsch history, the story, US made, etc. Who knows, maybe some day it'll click. Gotta go with what your ears like. 
Thanks for the input.
