I have only been a Klipsch fan since I bought 2 pairs of Forte speakers back a "few" years ago. The only trouble I have ever had with ANY Klipsch product was about 8-9 years after I bought them. I was getting a lot of buzzing noises at considerable volume levels. I took the offending speakers to a local dealer, who called Klipsch, and they were told to take the speakers apart and check for glue separation inside the cabinet. This was the case, that the glue had in fact separated!! I was given WHOLESALE value for the 8+yr old Forte's in trade on a pair of KG 5.5's and a pair of KG 2.5's, with $$$ to spare!!! These were OLD speakers and I tried like crazy to blow them out...or my neighbors out...and only the glue came apart!! As was mentioned above...it could be that your friend saw a lot of Klipsch's in the shop, was cuz a LOT of people buy them!! There is always the "loose nut on the volume knob" option as well. Believe it, I tried to BE that loose nut.....to mixed reviews!!!
