Forte III's for $80??? You STOLE those
Unfortunately they are Synergy F3s. If they were Forte's, I would have lost my mind and posted 1,000 pics. I edited the main post to remove any confusion :). Maybe your post is a good omen and I will find a cheap set of Forte III.

The KG 2.5 is the correct center for those speakers.
@Frzninvt Thank you! I know they are perfect for the KG line. Do you know how it would do with the F3? I haven't decided if I want to keep the F3s or roll with the KGs. I am going to put some time (resealing) and maybe some upgrades (crites) on the KG 4.5s. If anything, it will be a fun project.

Not sure if this is the best way to repair, but it worked well on a pair of KG 5.5s. Your 4.5s should be a similar fix.
This is perfect actually. Any specific gorilla glue? Just don't want any "Oh no, you did what?!?!" moments. LOL

I would remove some drivers and put some type of glue on the inside of all seams. It can not hurt it will tighten up the cabinet and seal it off, I would do both speakers
Why don't you start a thread in 2 Ch asking about sealing up some 4.5's, what type of glue to use, I know others have done something similar. It will probably have a little more traffic than in HT.
Done. TY! What do you think of the KG 4.5 vs Synergy F3s? I think the upgrade bug has bit me... just have to make sure it doesn't break me! I don't think I am going to get the Icon center I mentioned... seems to be too many better options... like the 2.5 if I keep my KGs.

Klipsch heroes,
Need some help sealing my speakers. During some playing around in the HT forums, I discovered the back of one of my KG 4.5's vibrates/rattles at higher volume or bass. dtel recommended I post this here. I need to know the best way to fix/seal it. What type of glue to use, where to glue, and any advice someone more experienced may have for me.
Also... I was able to get a pair of Synergy F3s for $80. Haven't really seen much conversation on them... or much caparisons of the against the KG 4.5. I did side by side and I think the F3 sounded better, but that might just mean my KG 4.5s need some TLC.
Thank you!

Sooo....
Being doing some looking for a 2.2 to use as a center.
During my search I saw someone selling a pair of Synergy FS3 for $80 so I nabbed them... can always resell if I don't like.
I was doing side by sides with my 4.5 to see which I like best and I realized that the back of one of my 4.5s rattle when at higher volumes/bass. I did some researching and couldn't really find the best way to fix this. Should I open these up and glue from the inside or use insulating tape on the edge? I think I could get the vibrating to stop with some spot glue on the outside, but am afraid this might be a bigger issue that this wouldn't resolve.
On the side by side it felt like the Synergy F3s had more mid-bass and blended better with my subwoofer.
I found someone selling a couple of 4.2s and an Academy center. I think the 4.2s would be a sidegrade but the Academy would be an upgrade... he didn't have prices yet as he still had to pull down the rears that were mounted.
I want to upgrade the KGs but don't have the cash for the reference lines. The F3 feel like they might be a slight upgrade for me.... but I am not sure... there is a lot of love for my 20 year old KGs :).
Thanks again!

Do you have everything in the Yamaha set, like speakers set to small and the right crossover? Receiver settings can make a huge difference, just asking.
Pretty sure I do. I actually factory reset it this past weekend to make sure any setting I may have messed around with in the past and forgot about were reset. Surround and Center are set to small. Mains I switch to see if I can see a difference. Crossover is at 80hz. I've run the YPAO... making sure the speakers are set to small once it's done.

Thanks wuzzer and dtel!
I don't have the space to through another 4.5 in the front... they're pretty big LOL. I'm not looking for incredible bass but something seems missing...
Good to hear from the pros though... I am still new when it comes to audio and really lucked out picking these speakers out when I was younger. Looking to upgrade my sound... but not sure much out there is better than what I have.
My research it looks like the matching centers are KV2 and KV3. Some say the actual correct match is the KG 2.5. The KG 2.5 seems harder to find, but the KV3 can be had on ebay.

Hey all!
Need some help. I have an older Klipsch surround setup. I have KG 4.5s as mains, KG .5 pulling rear duty, Sub-12HG for bass, and a KV2 as center. This is all being driven by a Yamaha Aventage RX-A820.
I don't think my KV2 is cutting it and an Icon VC-25 is being listed in my area for $100. Would this a) be an upgrade, b) be a good match for my setup, and c) be a good price for this. If not a good match, what would be a good center?
I would love any feedback you all have for my setup and any recommended upgrades. Just doesn't feel like there is enough low end punch without the sub...
Thanks guys and gals. Hope I gave enough info... Look forward to the responses.

I've seen that preached... god bless the folks who have a big enough room to have a full 4.5 as their center. LOL
