I think you should trade them out for ones that are what you want, both cosmetically and performance wise.

Very true 😀

I would love to get both, but I probably would be looking for a new wife and home 😂

Thanks everybody, I think I’m leaning towards the Fortes III too. I have been a long time reader on the forum and this is the first time I’ve posted something. I’m 54 and I was introduced to Klipsch when my older brother bought some Heresys in the early 70s. Later in the early 80s I bought my own pair of Heresys and then later my Cornwall’s. I love Klipsch and really appreciate everyone’s opinion. Thanks

I listen to mainly rock, but also alt country, classic country, and a little jazz, and everything else. Currently I just have our condo front room as my shared music/entertainment room. When we get a house I will have a music room probably in the basement. I love loud music but because of my current situation in the condo, I am only listening at low volumes ,which I still enjoy. Thank you 😊

So my wife has agreed for me to save up for a year to buy new speakers. We live in a condo and I currently have RF 82s hooked up with a Anthem 2 Channel(MCA 225) with a Rogue Audio Magnum 99 preamp. I am interested in music only, so home theater is not a concern. I have some 1985 Cornwall II’s in the closet because of the condo thing(no space). I love them and they aren’t going anywhere(I got the crossovers changed and the tweeter diaphragms from Bob Crites). I would like to upgrade the RF 82’s and I love how the RF 7II’s look with the wood veneer on the front. I also love the classic Klipsch sound and have never thought of the “brightness” as being a negative. They also are significantly cheaper. I know no one has heard the RF 7 III’s yet(and I do have a year obviously to save up and hear them), but I do like the upgrades in theory but I’m not sure about the tweeter dampening. Last would be the Forte III which I have seen nothing but rave reviews for. The only thing that makes me hesitant on them is I already have the Cornwall IIs and I’m telling myself, and more importantly my wife that I won’t need anymore floor standing speakers after this purchase. Also we will be moving to a house within the next 2 years. Anyway I love the forum and Klipsch, but thought I would get everyone’s opinion on it as I fret about something a year away😊Thankyou

I definitely will have to listen to all 3. I love my RF-82’s, so I’m sure all 3 will sound great. I love how the walnut and cherry veneers look on the front of the RF-7’s. I have a R-115SW in the closet too waiting for our house where I can use it.
