    I'm not really a fan at all, but I really liked it.  I didn't really care for last two and had to be drug kicking and screaming to this one,

     

    Maybe it was because I had low expectations? 

     

    Possibly. I just think they ruined quite a few things. Don't want to spoil anything but I was not a fan of it.

    I was unaware that you had to own something to have heard it.  Wow!  Guess that means no one has any experience with a lot of things then...

     

    Also, was not addressing you, so "moot point."

     

     

    That was just a strong endorsement just figured you owned a pair. No biggie.

    Who ever said Paradigm was a step up is wrong.  You have not experienced HT without a Klipsch setup.  It will be more dynamic, pinpoint clarity and blast you off the set.  
    '
    If Klipsch is not hi fi, what is? Clarity, power. accuracy, and constant directivity.  I am not sure what you are looking for in an HT.

     

    This is true. My local Klipsch dealer also sells Paradigm and they really push Paradigm over Klipsch. I started with a Paradigm Monitor v7 5.1 setup which apparently is their best seller. That was a mistake very dull. I'm not good at describing how things sound but underwhelming to say the least. I then switched to a Prestige setup definitely a step up but for the money I didn't feel like I was getting good value. I was happier with my 2.0 Forte setup. 

     

    And to the OP you will most likely be happy with Klipsch. I'm sure if you give a few more details on budget and what type of setup you want you will get many suggestions from the forum. Me personally I put a hold on my HT pursuit until I can afford a Heritage setup. It will be worth the wait!

    If you consider any of this stuff to be "hi-fi" - don't ever listen to a pair of Tekton's...I love Klipsch, but a spade is a spade.  Still, some of the best bang for the buck.

    No one was comparing Tektons. So moot point. Also do you even own Tektons? Didn't see any in your equipment list.

    I wish that my 'humble' setup was that nice. :wub:

     

     

    First, what Marantz is that?

    Second, the Forte have magical sounds in them ...if they are set up right. Not sure how far off the wall, how far apart or how anything else yours are. I have moved the ones I had until they were "right"...it really did make a difference for 2 channel. 

    Thanks! I do enjoy this setup it sounds very good with the Fortes. 

     

    They Marantz is a 2250B it's a nice receiver. I had it running some Heresy IIs in a second system. Sounded decent. 

     

    I'm always messing around with placement. They are about a foot off the back wall right now with a small toe in. The system is taken apart right now because I just put up a tv and deciding where to go from there.

    Thank you for the welcome! I appreciate the advice and the discussion. Seems like it's leaning towards the Fortes. I do love these speakers. For music with tubes they are fantastic. I like the look of the rp line and have heard the rp280s but not in a great setup that I could make a fair call. But yes if the heritage line makes a better home theater setup I guess that is the way to go. I need to hunt down an Oiled Walnut Academy now.

     

    Thanks again

    My first post on here! Right now I have a humble Stereo setup with a pair of Forte IIs. I'm looking for a home theater setup. I was looking at a full RP line 5.2.2 setup but then I was thinking with an amp switcher I could use my Fortes for both music and movies. Center channel is the trick but I guess I would go with an academy. I would go with r140sa for atmos and rp250s for rears. I have read countless threads on here but still don't feel like I have a conclusive answer on this. Which way for movies would be more satisfying? 

     

    Thanks!

    Don't mind the placement this has been moved around 100x already.
