I have a pair of Klipsch HP 3 and I love them. Sometimes it is a good change of pace to fire them up every now and then. Also have a pair of Grado RS2e and enjoy them as well. But as Shakey mentioned it’s not very comfortable for extended listening....but it’s nice to be able to “disconnect “ and block out the outside world for a while.

Subwoofer isolation - Preventing Room rattle
Steve. replied to Bharath Abhishek's topic in Subwoofers
I use an Aurolex Sub Dude under my sub and they are excellent I also used one to fix the room rattle in my Dads HT -
I have career envy..... my job is very boring

My Fortes sounded good out of the box, bass was a little wooly for lack of a better word. Ran them for a few days and began to question the age of the tubes on my amp. They are old and have been my back up. So I swapped out a new pair of KT 77. After repositioning them and a Jack and Coke , things improved Was it the new tubes? Putting them closer to the wall which to me was counter to what I expected Was it the Jack and Coke? Maybe, who knows but I have run them many many hours in the past two weeks and whether it was my ears adapting, placement , tube variety/weak tube? A combination of them all? Not sure but I have never been so happy with how my system sounds.

It’s hard NOT to say how awesome they are ... hopefully others will chime in soon saying they received a pair. I counted and this is my 13th pair of speakers since I was about 15. My bucket list speaker I would have to say is LaScala but even if that dream comes true some day I will keep these Forte

Nice.... enjoy
-
Fido.... you really need to stop bragging about how awesome you new speakers are !
-
The Forte is so good .... but will it be my last speaker?
-
If I had the room I probably would have bought Cornwalls.... but that will change soon so you never know....

I have always been a little skeptical about electronics break in time. I agree with others that it is more about acclimating to the new speaker. Although with the treated textile cloth surround on Klipsch woofers, I do tend to believe there is some break in for it to be compliant but I think I’m long past that. Once I got the speakers positioned correctly the bass was great. The bass is tight and deep , really no need for a sub. I think they sound as good they can at this point.

So you see why some people love their job......others not so much

Sounds like a rough job, I really feel for you having to hang around beautiful women all day........

I will check her out ... I am mostly into the women of rock and alt rock. Was listening to PJ Harvey, Pretenders, Pat Benatar, Heart, among others the past couple of nights.
