To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...


What is your setup?
What have you learned?
What loudspeaker did you come from? 
Have you experimented with placement, sources, cables, etc.? 

The Forte IIIs are such a keeper.  I've enjoyed the journey with them and before I move on I'll exhaust possibilities with them first. 

Let your thoughts run...

I have owned many speakers over the years. The Forte iii are the best speakers I ever had the pleasure of owning. They captivate me every time I listen. It was stated in an earlier post that when a speaker can move you emotionally and engage your senses completely you have found it ... The Forte iii do this. Power them with a Parasound pre and amp with Audioquest cables and this combo works beautifully. When the music fills your room as if it was being played right in front of you, I don't know how it can get any better!!
I enjoy listening to my Forte iii speakers. I have never enjoyed music as much as I have with the speakers. Music is fun, exciting and sometimes scary in a good way. Great with vinyl and streaming sources. Positioning and set up is important to get the best out of these amazing speakers. 
Nothing like kicking back and listening to the Forte iii speakers. Put some Tom Petty on the turntable and transport with a great American rock band with great American made speakers. It just doesn't get any better. The Forte iii are a unique speaker that may not appeal to everyone, but if you like to be transported musically to a live presentation of your favorite artists then Klipsch has got you covered. It's a fun and engaging speaker. Feed the Forte's some solid power either SS or Tubes. Enjoy!! 
Jbhiller I agree with your assessment. Not sure if I can go back to something other than the Forte iii.... and the sound they produce. 
Key word is engaged. No other other speaker engages me quite the way the Klipsch Forte iii does. I love speakers and love to listen to many. Just something about the way Klipsch engages the listener. 
The F3 vs H4. You will get a much bigger soundstage and the bass is deeper and slightly more natural sounding. F3 fills the room a little better than the H4 as they are a much bigger speaker. IMHO they just sound bigger and more present than the H4 due to their bigger size.
