Looking for opinions and advice from you knowledgable and experienced Klipsch fans.
I have a pair of Forte IIs that love, but I don't listen to music as much as I once did. I don't really consider myself an audiophile, just lucked into some good speakers that I've been happy with. Been using them lately with some no-name el-cheapo bookshelf speakers in a makeshift 5.0 setup. Finally got the wife to go for a 46" HDTV and I want to improve the HT setup.
I've been thinking about selling the Fortes and getting someting like the Quintet or HD Theater setup. After reading around and listening to the Fortes some more, I am reminded how good they sound and worry that I'll have seller's remorse, so I am considering trying to build a real 5.1 setup around them.
I might try for an Academy, but it's probably more reasonable to get a single Forte I or Forte II for the center. For the sides, I need something smaller - preferably on the wall, but maybe not (locally I've seen a pair of KG 3.5 for $200 and saw at least one guy here post that he was happy with them as sides). Also, would I really need a sub with that much floor speaker?
The HT room is about 12'w x 13.5'd. I can't help but wonder if 3 Fortes and 2 KG 3.5s wouldn't be a bit overkill. Wife Approval Factor is an obvious concern, too.
If I moved to something like Quintet would I really regret it? Or, would I be satisfied in getting a decent matched set of speakers for HT in my small room?
What would you recommend?
