| Klipsch Forte McLaren Sale @allenf1963 should not have been removed.... oh well, sorry. I am all for joking till I have a pulse, but as you say, you can't read the room here. And yeah, this is one ugly speaker. | |
| Top two most important sound qualities Details and upper midrange. You can tweak a lot of qualities but if these two are lacking, it won't please me. | |

| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @kokakolia I am not entirely clueless but closer to clueless than informed.

| Klipsch Forte McLaren Sale @allenf1963 got it... Maybe I overreacted. Hard to know with so many trolls here what's a joke and what's a booby trap. PS: I am not a Clinton "groupie", that's not where I was coming from. | |

| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @w123ale @thyname Understood. It's fun. It's just that there are 70+ hifi speaker companies to choose from, price narrows it down to about 40, looks to another 20 and then I have to find a way to filter it further as to which ones I listen to. | |
