Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel

Heresys are the way to go. Adding a powered sub, later if need be ( cranking Deep Purple loud ). They will be cleaner than any of the other Klipsch mentioned here. The best way to connect a powered sub ( providing the sub has the connections ) is to use the speaker outputs of the amp to the high level inputs on the sub ( or you can do amp to sub to Heresys ). I was never a fan of Klipsch with rear facing passives ( because of rear wall placement ), but having the mid horn is better ( dampen the mid horns, from the outside of the horn , with a product like Dynamat ), as this takes the speaker to another level. Enjoy ! MrD.

As I mention often (too often maybe, but hey...I’m an insecure attention monger!) I have been enjoying a new pair of Heresy III "Capitol Editions" (meaning they’re signed or have different finishes than stock...or something...mine are labeled Ebony but actually ARE "deep purple") for months, with 2 RELs I already owned...a simple tone generator from a test CD will tell you exactly how low the Heresy will go (so will reading any reasonable review) and I simply enjoy the room charging feel of a good sub providing that extra sense of realism to things. Without the subs and with these things on the floor where I think they belong, the Heresy will still display a powerful tone palette. RELs can be unobtrusive, they’re powered of course, and you can get ’em cheap as good ones like mine (Q150e and a Q108II) show up on Ebay frequently. I make my own REL cables from Canare Star Quad and Neutrik Speakon plugs. Read the recent Ken Micallef review in the June Stereophile...he experienced some strident tweeter issues here and there, but otherwise he seems to really like these things. 

Thanks for all the input folks. I have decided to go with some forte 1s. Located a pair on the Bay in FL for 600. Just waiting to see if the guy will give me a few weeks to pick them up when I'm down that way on business. They have a few smudges and no badges on the dust covers but nothing I can't refurb. Thx again

Fortes for sure. Excellent fast bass and they like it loud. Can find a used, excellent pair for 800 or under. 

The Forte's will treat you right. I had the Forte II's recently and loved them, best Klipsch speaker of many I have owned. However the Mrs. and I went our separate ways and I needed to relinquish some valued audio gear :(
