the issues can be resolved by calling tech support , now mind you , the problems posted on the forum are always super amplified while they may only be user related issues , put it this way , a handful of complaints is nothing , there are 1000's of sales , all are backed by returns for refunds and a warranty

out of stock , but you can place a back-order

Re-install the latest firmware if the issue is not resolved after the FW upgrade , contact klipsch tech support via email to open a ticket https://support.klipsch.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

2 choices , the RC-7 was already mentioned , or the RP-504C

@dkalsi

aint that somethin

is that a Rottweiler / Doberman , sure looks super intelligent

W stands for Walnut , L stands for lacquer

The prices are inflated in Germany , the RP-160M at €368 a pair were discounted under 200$ a pair brand new in the USA last year , instead try to locate a used pair of RP-600M

please give us your results with the M-5000 when you get a chance

maybe adding a center

a quality preamp does the contrary , technology marches on , high end preamps with Tone Controls are now mainstream

the Dealer installed optional grilles with klipsch fabric and klipsch copper badges were stapled

you must have been quite a young guy to serve in Nam , the war ended in 1975

definitely . 1500$ is a steal , grab em before someone else does and I do mean run dont walk , cause the speakers I see are worth 3000$ , regardless of a bad tweeter or mids diaphragm .

yes

no , ideally you need a quality preamp with separate tone controls to allow you to EQ the sound , I would recommend the Mark Levinson LNP-2 , one of the best preamps ever designed by Mark Levinson himself .

pictures would help us to see what you have

the Forte IV will do fine with the RC-64 center plus you already own other speakers with different timbres already and so far , this is un-noticeable ..the other solution would be to buy the RF-7 III instead of the Forte IV to have a perfectly matched timbre up front , the difference between both speakers is a tad more bass and a more detailed HF for the Forte IV .

dont wait too long klipsch slashed the price for the 1200 and they're selling out like hotcakes , https://www.klipsch.com/products/cinema-1200-sound-bar-and-surround-system

the Cornwall III are definitely a good deal if the speakers are in mint condition , otherwise pass , and dont wait too long because someone else may grab the deal before you do

he sure is , but these are long gone
