    ETA: The wall that the rig will be placed against is exactly 6 feet wide.

     

    Have a SVS Sub for any application here. It is the sealed sub version.


    I’d go with Heresy then.  Smallest footprint but huge sound for their size.  I have 5 of them in a home theater setup along with two horn loaded subs.  Pretty awesome experience.

    I would go with Klipsch.  In my opinion DIY is cool for some things (like my subwoofers) but if you go Klipsch you'll have speakers that will hold their value very well, know that all the components and the synergy between them have been tested (and possibly even signed off on by PWK himself) and have access to replacement parts and support.

     

    If you don't go with a subwoofer I'd recommend forte, Chorus, Cornwall or Quartet.

    Expand on Klipsch R51m Loudness and bass

    Hi,

     

    I have a pair of Klipsch R51m, I’m not any audiophile or sound expert, I just love how they sound. That said I was wondering if the Rf82 would sound the same? I mean the stage and clarity and separation, I’m looking to have “bigger” sound and more bass.

     

    Would you rather have another R51m plus sub instead? Or another model that would just scale up the R51m.

     

    Sorry if it sounds silly, I don’t know how else to express it, also I cannot hear the rf82 beforehand, I just got an offer to buy them.
     

    Thank you!


    As you can see by its title, this section is for discussing the Klipsch museum in Arkansas.

    Building new cabinets for my Forte IIs?

    I just bought a pair of Forte IIs to pair with my Mcintosh MC60 amps.  The combo sounds wonderful.  I am not happy with the mid 90s yellow oak finish.

     

    My buddy owns a cabinet shop with several CNC mills.  I discussed veneering the existing cabinets and he suggested it would be much faster to build new cabinets out of MDF and veneer those.  

     

    Has anyone done this before?  What are the pros/cons?  I have read that Forte's can benefit from additional bracing, I would assume the MDF would be a better material than the stock plywood?

     

    Thanks,

    Chris


    Your speakers are MDF.

    I did the Forte IV upgrade and have perfectly good Forte III crossovers and tweeters for sale. I gifted the mids to a friend, so they are not available. Hoping someone can put these to good use. Asking $200 plus shipping. 


    If you’re selling the items they should be posted in the main Garage Sale section.  👍

    The R41SA should match the other speakers pretty well timbre-wise.  I’d highly suggest against mounting them on top of other speakers as up-firing speakers though since they will add virtually nothing compared to mounting them on the wall as height speakers.  Better yet is to get in-ceiling speakers for Atmos.

    Since this got resurrected, @wuzzzer do you still have the surrounds on the furniture like in the original pictures and do you have your LCR elevated too?  I am still using my old RF-10s for my surrounds. 

     

     I have a Heresy center and Forte's mains so I feel like I could go either way.  I was originally going to pick up 3 Heresy's but when the wife said the Forte's "looked better for the scale of our front room" (and asked if they were the same price to which I said, "basically"😆) I didn't question my good fortune and went for it!  Seeing your pictures reinforced my thought I should get stands to get the highs and mids up to ear level at which point my brain immediately started to justify another set of Forte's since they would actually take up less floor space, stand at the right height as-is, and less prone to an accident than Heresy's on stands (big dogs, wild kid). I really enjoy the new and remastered Atmos songs on Apple Music, so I'm looking for that seamless blend you seem to have found. 

     

    So, I suppose I am essentially facing an A or B question (assuming I don't win the new AL6s) but I'm wondering if you have any updated impressions after using your 5-pack for the last few years, how similar the bass is front to back, anything you would change etc.  Thanks, and congratulations on that system, truly exciting for those of us just getting into the obsession hobby. Cheers!


    Yes, everything is still set up the same.  I watched part of the new Planet of the Apes last night.  Amazing bass and surround effects.  The panning back and forth is completely seamless.

    Very happy to have seen them twice in concert.  They put on an awesome show.  Aerosmith is definitely in my top five favorite bands of all time.

    This is an awesome setup! I've inherited 2 original Klipsch Heresy speakers and plan to purchase 2 more at my local Hi fi store.  I'm looking to get the new Heresy version 4. What 5.1 receiver is good brand? Thanks for any info.


    My Sony ES receiver has worked fantastic for both music and movies.
