No eq on this setup, 1970's pioneer turntable, pioneer reel to reel and then a 845 single ended triode amp.

I agree that if klipsch built in L-pads the could have double the audience !

Bass is great, mid is great, treble is great with polyfill shoved in the tweeter horn, lol If I get a chance I will do full sweeps from listening position later today while the wife is out in black friday hell, lol

This isnt my first go around, I also own modified khorns, heresy 3 and cornwall 3 and have built a few pair of my own design. The mic is a UMIK-1 calibrated, I was at 1 meter and 0 deg and height was 1/2 between mid/tweet. pointless in looking below 400hz I am only pointing out that Klipsch dialed the Forte III in with a "hot" tweeter. Some like that, I am very sensitive to it. A couple of reviewers also comment on the "hot tweeter" I love the speakers, just need to deal with the slightly "hot" tweeter, this temp fix of polyfill actually works really nice. gives about a 3db reduction

Anyone else think the Forte III is too bright ?? I measured ( at 1 meter ) the mid to tweeter region tonight and I see why I feel fatigue with Forte III, looks like Klipsch has the tweeter running almost 5db louder then the mid. Now to figure out what to do about it..... As a test I stuffed some polyfill in the tweeter horn and it is much better....
