Klipsch Speakers

No mention of room layout/treatment (or lack of) it.

After my third pair of Klipsch speakers…now Heresy 4’s… I can’t think any speaker sounds as good. Efficiency is the major player. 96 db sensitivity. Wow! I think they sound great…Spring-Summer solid state ( Marantz 2226 b), and my (Cary Rocket 88 ROM-CAD) tube amp Fall-Winter… (keeping the Mancave cooler and warmer)!

I find adequacy in the Node, (streamer), and Integra CD Player. With streamers, ask yourself: can you really hear the difference? 

But with Klipsch…you WILL hear a difference. People can’t believe horny midrange works, but it does. Best to keep your amp low powered( 20-40 WPC), and play low volumes to really HEAR the Klipsch difference…cause they can be loud if you need to be ANYTIME!

Save money on Amp power, get decent cables that run a medium price range, and insulate your cables picking up PVC rubber insulation at Home Depot. 

I've had a pair of Forte iv's for about six months teamed with a Mojo Audio Evo DAC, PS Audio transport, Don Sachs pre, and First Watt F7. I do not think that they are bright with this setup.

Klipsch speakers can provide a lot of dynamics and a "live presence" - maybe that can sound bright?

Current Heritage Klipsch speakers are anything but bright. If these are giving you trouble, look to your room or associated equipment.

Doing a lot of research, I think the update they did on this forte speaker really messed it up. Everyone so check out the review in Audio Science Review. After seeing it I really can’t take the chance. So far it’s the Quicksilver.
