When i was in the market for a new set of speakers, this local audio shop raved about the Golden Ear Tritons. I really didn't want another set of tall slender towers so i didn't give it a listen. FYI, I ended up with the Forte III. How would you compare the GE Tritons to Klipschs?

I have the RP260 and Forte III and no doubt, the Forte III's are better in every way. Of course, if they weren't, I wouldn't have spent the money on them. That being said, the RP series is no slouch for it's price. It's very neutral sounding and non-fatiguing for long listening sessions. Although, the neutral-ness can sometimes seem "muffled". I seem to have fixed this issue when I added a power amp. That improved the clarity and sound stage quite a bit. I have decommissioned my RP's and run the Fortes full time for music and theater. So far, i'm liking it!

Liking your approach to problem solving. The difficult part is trying to force the issue. I can't make the popping sound come back when i want it. It's really random.

Glad your set up is working well for you. My interconnect cables aren't new, but i can make new ones if that's what it takes.

Have any of you experienced cracking/popping sound from your receiver? This happens occasionally when I stream cable tv using my Time Warner Cable app from my TV. When cracking/popping noise happens, I cannot control the volume from the AVR. I resort to turning off and on the AVR to resuming listening. I am listening at low/medium volume level. My set up is below: Marantz SR-6011 AVR Rotel RMB-1585 Amplifier Klipsch Forte III Klipsch KLF-C7 Center Klipsch RS-42II Surrounds.

I've been a happy Marantz + Klipsch owner for multiple sets throughout the years. However, on my most recent set up, my SR-6011 + Forte III's have been making a popping/cracking sound when I stream cable tv. I will start another thread regarding this so we don't veer off topic. FAIA, I've noticed better sound clarity and detail when i added my Rotel RMB-1585 amp.

Caution Caution! I hope i am not too late. This is a scam! I encountered this person when i posted a reply to a KLF-C7 center channel on AVS Forum Sale Section. This person PM'ed me on the side and said he has a "friend" that's selling this speaker. The email this scammer use is kentrinvoll@gmail.com. Name of person: Katherine Stovall. She supposedly works at Walmart and can only accepts payments via Walmart Pay Services. I requested to pay via Paypal and she asked me to provide my driver's license. HECK NO. Paypal has already verified both her and I (if she is even a legitimate person). Scary part is that this, Katherine, person is trolling across all Audio/Video forums offering the speakers at market value. They play out the story well and make it believable. I hope nobody on here falls victim to this scam artist. Figured i'd give my experience to hopefully prevent people from throwing their hard-earned money to this scum.

I love my Forte III's in Distressed Oak. WAF = high.

Still looking for one. Bump.

Please delete. Thank you.

Never knew that existed. That thing looks wicked. Wow.

Thx Dtel. So far so good! Very crisp and detailed. I just tried to upload a pic of the speakers angled-in and spreaded out a bit, but this forum platform isn't allowing over 2mb.

Thx! So far I've been listening for a few hours. My initial impression is that the highs and mids are much more prominent than my RP-260's. The highs are ever so slightly on the bright side, but i am anticipating these babies to sound warmer up as i break them in.

Hey hey, look what i just plugged in! Forte III's in Distressed Oak.

Are you running and subs for your lows? Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Thanks for the great detailed review! How do these compare to Forte III? Which pair do you prefer if you were to only have one?

I'm in the market for a pair of Forte III's. I'd be happy if they came out with a center channel for the Heritage line up.
