  1. Ha! I did an in-store comparison using an SPL meter to level-match them when I was using the former as surrounds with RF-7s up front. I couldn't tell them apart so I stuck with the 3s until I found a second pair of RB-75s to use as surrounds and back speakers in a 7.1 (2) configuration. 😊
  2. Thanks for posting this @Paducah Home Theater. There are no frequencies that dip below 4 Ohms so I don't understand where the Fortes would struggle using a quality, mid-grade AVR... Impressive and that's with a lower end AVR. 😮 Did you hear any clipping?
  3. Interesting...Where are the impedance dips on the Fortes that cause the most problems? 🤔 I actually thought they could be classified as "8 Ohm" speakers because they didn't have the jagged Frequency Response Curve that affected the RF-7s (and assumed others in the Reference line and below).
  4. Afterall...This IS s Speaker Forum. 🤓
  5. I wouldn't say "0" complaints, but most seem happy without purchasing aftermarket crossovers. I toyed with the idea once but decided I was happy with what I had.
  6. Fwiw, the original RF-7s do GREAT with music when set up correctly. I upgraded constantly until I got these bad boys 20 years ago. I auditioned for another couple of years and then decided we were set!
  7. Fwiw, you have a very nice system already and I would listen to the Forte IVs before considering them an "upgrade." It's easy to spend someone else's money and at what cost? Regardless, thank you for your service.
  8. Fwiw, if you are running them as Large you aren't crossing the lower end to the subs. If you set them back to Small I'd definitely lower the crossover to 80 Hz or below.
  9. I didn't see if you were running a sub but if it can keep up with the RF-7s I'd set a crossover (60 to 80 hz) to relieve some stress on the AVR. Of course, if you don't have a sub set the speakers to large. That's my 2 cents
  10. Nice post Gilbert and I feel the same way...
  11. This seems like good information and should be on the first post as an alternative. Fwiw and given this is pinned Roy's response could be outdated My unsolicited 2 cents.
  12. Fwiw, I didn't see anyone making that claim. Otoh, saying anyone should "get used" to lousy Customer Service on the company's Forum seems outta place.
  13. If that's the case maybe THAT'S what should be on the first post of this thread instead of what's there? This is a current stickied thread dealing with a problem Klipsch acknowledged on the first post they had. Again, I have to think YOU could have the answer to this guy's question. @Erik WithaK take a shot and ask your question here. 🤔
  14. Hopefully after reading this they will reach out to you. Fwiw, I had a similar situation 15 years ago and I'm still here. Of course not. Fwiw, this is a CUSTOMER SERVICE problem and Klipsch should be able to respond to the OP appropriately. That's my take and feel they will resolve the situation with this dude...Heck, if it's advice he's looking for you may be just the person to help him!
