I picked up some Quartets this week. Hooked them up last night and I'm really enjoying them so far. Nice bass compared to the Heresy's. I had the Heresy's on stands that didn't help, but I did have the sub helping out. The Quartets don't need a sub IMO. That wasn't really a surprise. What was a suprise was the highs/mids. The Quartets sound a bit more laid back to me than the Heresy's. Maybe it's the bass balancing out everything more. I'm still going to keep my eyes open for a good deal on some Fortes but I can see myself living with the Quartets and being happy.

Bought some 1983 Heresys in raw birch. So far I like the look of them on the floor with the risers but I think I prefer them on stands. Veneer is in nice shape on both. Was thinking about wrapping them in some woodgrain black vinyl since the rest of my speakers are black, but I may just leave them as is. Vinyl wrap would be easy to take off if I would go that route. Now I need to dig out my Dirac microphone and run some new room calibrations.

I've had the sub for a while, the main reason I have it is for home theater. I appreciate all the input, I've got some more models to add to the radar.

A few years ago I purchased my first pair of Klipsch speakers and my first horn speakers ever, KG 3.2's. I had avoided Klipsch because I had always heard that horns are fatiguing. I guess I like fatiguing, because I really love the KG 3.2's. I'm not looking for more bass since I have the sub (it's a DIY 15" sealed box). For those that have had the KG 3.2's and have moved onto speakers in the heritage line, will I see enough of an improvement in the mids and highs to justify the change? I'm currently driving the 3.2s with a NAD T758 receiver. Love the DIRAC room correction. I prefer the look of the Quartets or the Fortes, but if I found a good bargain on some Heresys I wouldn't say no.

Dang, that is pricey. I think I've changed my mind anyway. I think I'll get the mounts that have the expandable articulating "shelf" that holds the speaker. That way if I run across some KG 2.2's I can use those as surrounds and move the .5's to rear surround duty as the shelf models will hold up to 30 #'s. Currently I have some small crappy Polk Audio speakers there. Thanks for the ideas though fellas.

I've recently picked up some Klipsch KG speakers and I'm really enjoying them. I have some .5's that I want to use as surrounds. Does anyone know what size the threads are for the mounts on the back? I'm hoping something like this will fit them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BV0FHG/ref=s9_acsd_simh_hd_bw_b1FUB_c_x_4_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=1B455Y0FVAGWDYZN6WHT&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=9855b6d4-2ff7-5656-a6e7-9f907e03fed4&pf_rd_i=297859
