Klipsch Speakers

Sorry to hear you're getting less than great results.   I have had the Forte IV since they were launched.   I used them with a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono amps and they sounded great.  40 w Push-pull,  plenty of power.    In my medium room I barely used a few watts.   I switched gears and had a 300b amp built, sounds amazing to me.  

I tried my brother's 200 w Acurus amp.....   not a good match.    Agressive , kind of in your face.   I believe it is a synergy thing with these speakers

First mistake right there , reading ASR.   The ONLY thing they care about are measurements.   Me?  I care about sound.   

I had Quicksilver Mid Monos with my Forte IV and they sound great.   In fact i had a preamp that cost about 4 x as much driving them and they were not one bit out of place .   They sounded better than they ever had .    Value proposition is high with Quicksilver.
