I just purchased a pair of Forte 4’s a week ago, and the listening session I had with them was fantastic. I am driving them with a Music Reference RM 200 tube amp, coming from a Rotel 1590MK 2 preamp. (My other speakers are JBL L100 Classics)
Klipsch Forte IV ... what amp ?
No , I am not asking for a particular amp style and brand here . Although I am not refusing any suggestions either !
What I would like to know first is what characteristics to look for in an amp to drive these speakers (Forte 4’s) to full performance .
Such characteristics as :
1.) What is needed to handle the low impedance of 4 ohms ?
2.) While the sensitivity is listed at 99 dbs. it is considered to be closer to @ 96 dbs,
3.) What about negative feedback ?
4.) Will the 12" woofer and 15 " rear radiator need special attention also ?
5.) Do the horns require special consideration ?
I feel that these considerations will go further to getting it right than , " hey , just get a tube amp and enjoy " .
Thank you & Be Safe .
