To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...

@mrdecibel ,  You are totally off Sir/Madame.  I'm not "ready to move on".  In fact, the Forte IIIs are so wonderful that it will be a long time before I do sell them.  They will remain in the stable with other speakers for some time.  But even more importantly, how do you know that I don't "sit and listen" or am not "engaged"?  I am not offended in the least yet I do think it's super important to note that your post has nothing to do with the original subject and you make some huge assumptions about my listening habits and amenability to selling the Fortes.  It's posts like yours that make me scratch my head.  Enough said--on to the topic at hand. 

On the question of what I am coming from--I've used Monitor Audio, Totem, PSB, Wharfedale, B&W and a few others which escape me right now.  The Forte IIIs are my first horn speaker. 

At AXPONA I heard some Volti horns that seemed to be larger and more elegant Forte IIIs.  I was impressed with them and left thinking the Forte IIIs are very similar (getting me about 90% of the Volti sound), which made me happy.  So, "before I move on" to Volti or another more expensive horn, I'm going to love my Fortes and enjoy experimenting with them on my own journey.  

One character trait of the Forte IIIs is their ability to sound so different with different pieces--whether it be amplification, front end sources, tube rolling, etc.  

@schw06 , you get the point of the post--we are curious to hear about others' experiences with the Forte IIIs!  I'm just looking to hear and share our mutual journeys with them. 

I don't doubt, as others have posted, that there are some cheaper internal parts (resistors, caps and maybe wiring).  Even my Primaluna uses middle grade caps in spots when I would prefer Clarity, Jupiter, Jantzen, etc.  

I see my 1 glass of wine- long winded response  may of had nothing to do with  your question , other than my personal search for a better sound  from a  supposedly  better hi end speaker actually lead me back to a  much lower end speaker   that  had a much better emotional sound  that engaged me like no other speaker does .I was in Portland Or in July , there is  a Hifi  shop that sells Focal and Harbeth and others , got to  hear the Focal  sopra 2 and maybe I was tired   or something , maybe spoiled or maybe I just need to hear them next to my Fortes  to understand what they can do for me . I was bored ..

I am hoping my next purchase is a LM 219ia , used of course  .There's a tiny tube amp shop in Phx that sells them new , $8K .They now come in 2 pieces  because of the weight .:)

JBhiller , I think you were a little offended , your response sort of suggest it .

jbhiller....you were offended, and I am sorry for that. I am a somewhat educated guy. When I read a statement such as yours, saying " before I move on ", I take it to mean one thing, and one thing only. So, say what you want. If you are able to sit, listen, and stay engaged in your musical selections, while listening to your Forte IIIs, excellent. This was very gracefully pointed out, by our Heresy III leader, wolf. I do not know you....but....I do know you, and many like you, more than you think. Want to improve the Forte IIIs, for very little money, and a bit of time ? Remove the mid horns, and apply to them, from the rears, equally, and systematically, some Dynamat, and you will hear some improvements throughout the entire spectrum. For some, this is subtle, for others, dramatic. If you are asking why a new 4K, Forte III, would need improvements....Everything is made to a price point. Just like the crossovers. BTW, and excellent speaker, has shown me subtle, and dramatic differences in upstream equipment, cables, fuses, etc. Based on the high efficiency and sensitivity of the Klipsch, it is easily more apparent. So, good for you. Enjoy ! and let's all stay engaged....MrD.
