Echo what others have said...The 5.5 is more of mid 90s party era speaker for Klipsch...kinda fun but not the most accurate or refined sound...however...on blues rock these things are very lively and punchy...the Forte I have less experience with...but they have a loyal following..hope this helps..Omega makes some highly regarded single driver tube friendly speakers...good luck
Klipsch KG5.5 or Klipsch Forte or...??
Any thoughts on these two speakers? I've recently switched to a 38 watt tube amp and with my current stand mount speakers, I'm not getting the volume or bass impact that I'd like to have.
I'm currently using a pair of Jamo D830's (in walls mounted in a speaker cabinet) and even though I'm still using the crossover designed for the in walls and not the freestanding d830's, I love the detail (drums and cymbals in particular) I'm getting.
I do think the Klipsch's will give me the volume I'm after but I don't want to lose the quality of sound that I have with these Seas Excel drivers...
