I got a call one day for a set of Chorus I's I was selling on Craigslist. the guy was desperate and the some of the people on Audiogon had convinced him that the minimum he had to spend for entry level high end stereo was $80g. He was distraught because as a retired postal worker he did not have that kind of money. Out of desperation he was considering Klipsch and then said he had been advised against Klipsch because IT WAS TOO LIFELIKE!! My jaw hit the table. I happened to have some KPT-456's also and I told him for $1500 he could have something really good. He bought a set and on his way out the door I asked him what he had heard that these were similar to. He only mentioned expensive B&W speakers which by the way he said did not sound as good as the Klipsch KPT-456's.
He later fixed them up to look quite nice and got them featured on Steve Guttenbergs home owner systems page. I have no idea why the animosity towards Klipsch but I find it pretty strange considering how odd signature sound from expensive speakers can sound at times. The goal for me is lifelike sound replication and not some flavor of trendy distortion.
I have not heard the Forte 4's but I have heard the CW 4's which are simply superb in accurate sound reproduction.
