I owned Forte II's years ago. The biggest issue I had with them was amp. I used them with B&K and before that NAD. I was young and poor and didn't know any better. They were too bright. Yet, I would love to have them back now. I'm putting together a small cabin system and have a Jolida JD-1000a integrated amp and Spica TC-50 speakers which are not cutting it. The 1000a is a EL-34 tube based amp and I feel, it would be a perfect match for the Forte's. I currently looking for Heresy's or Forte's. Advise: Try out an EL-34 tube based amp.
Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ?
Help? Certain music makes my ears hurt from my bright sounding Klipsh Forte ii's (Sonny Rollins Saxophone Colossus), Or is it my room full of glass and tile? Or am I listening too loud (80 db), or my 1970's Pioneer receiver? I just ordered some dynamat to put on the rear of the horns. Some music is good though. I have often though about getting another pair of speakers so I can switch back and forth or run all four depending on the music. Any advise?
