| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations Klipsch Forte IIIs with 9w amp. I do swamp in a bigger push pull amp when I want to blow my doors off or have a listening party. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... Hificrazed, I agree with your view on it being hard to go to something else. I’m torn between selling the Primaluna to fund a new lower powered amp versus staying put. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... With the Forte IIIs it is really a different kind of imaging than a lack of imaging. It’s more akin to live music. I hear specific image locations and depth but not as pronounced. At first I thought I might miss such imaging. Later it seemed more... | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... hifificrazed, great idea. I wish I could. Both amps do not allow for it. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... I think that my two amp situations fall on the extremes of what I need. My 300B sounds glorious with the Forte IIIs but my room is a bit large and I wish it had more power. My other amp is a Primaluna HP premium integrated. The Fortes sound best... | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... @bigjohn9095, Welcome!!! With your interest level, I'd say you definitely have to give the Forte IIIs and Heresy IIIs a whirl. I'm in Chicagoland if you want to pop by to listen to your music to put them through their paces. I'm familiar with the... | |
| I need some techy help in order a preamp--resistor values. Thank you Dan! | |
| I need some techy help in order a preamp--resistor values. Wow! Fast responses--thank you. I can't find any specs on the Elekit's gain. I'll email them. The kit is built and been in use for nearly 2 years. There's no fear of soldering here. I was just looking for a reasonable suggestion/starting place. ... | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? Raul, your post is intriguing. $5k is not in the budget (yet) so I cannot move on that Etna. Nontheless, your sage words are not lost on me. I'll keep a lookout come December when I may have cash to go that high. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... dromme, very interesting that you found the Harbeths boring. I get that. Did you mention one you are using for 2 channel music now? Sounds like the Fortes are being used for television/movies. Did you ever try the Fortes with you Primaluna? If... | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? @pani, you sound like a fun and adventurous audiophile! Keep posting! Your candor and humilty is refreshing here. @rauliruegas , Am I reading this right--the Etna is a $9k cart? Oh my. Not happening. Your overall expertise is, as usual, spot... | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? I've got a lot of miles on this ART9 so I know there's a funeral coming up. 80% of me says to repurchase or send it in for a retip. 20% says that was wonderful so there must be something more wonderful. Admitting that feels cathartic. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... No worries Mr. D! I'd bet the markup on the F III would be $1-2k if better components were used. I know that caps have really impacted my budget when building tube amps. And they do make a difference in my opinion, which sounds similar to what ... | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... @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 int... | |
| 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 mo... |
