New Klipsch Forte III’s


Just got my new Forte III’s in yesterday. I’ve put about 8 hours on them thus far. They sound fantastic, but the bass is a bit anemic, it’s there, and deep enough, but seems turned a few db down relative to the mids and highs. Now I know the room is some of this, since every speaker I’ve used has had the same issue. I have a REL sub, but I’d rather not use it.

Anyone else have these speakers, and does the bass get louder with break in?

Im using a BAT preamp and Parasound A21 amp. Source is NAD M51 DAC or Technics 1200gr TT.

You could bi-amp from your BAT pre using the RCAs to the parasound and the XLR to a nice VK-220/225 amp. Not only would you have more power overall but the output via XLR is like 3db greater giving you a nice bump to the bass! I briefly heard the Forte III in a showroom setting and it had very nice low-end output.
