My neighbor across the street had a pair of Heresys. This was back in the mid 80s. They sounded way better than all the Kefs a lot of my friends had at the time. I had a set of Avids at the time. Same neighbor a couple of years later was getting divorced. He calls me and says you have to see what I got myself. I walk into his 13 by 13 family room and the Heresys were gone and in their place were the largest speakers I had ever seen . A brand new pair of Klipschorns. The next 2 hours we probably ruined our hearing but it was amazing. This led me to buy a pair of Forte 2s which I still have and still love. My neighbor sold the Khorns a couple of years ago for what he paid for them originally but he still has the Heresys.

It was Bruce Springsteen. I can’t remember the song and they were Forte 2s which I still have in excellent condition and still sound great.

Forte 2 here. I just think they are the total package. Works great in just about any size room. Detail is excellent. Soundstage is big. I’ve never felt the need to add a Sub. Great with any style of music.

I agree. I remember when I bought my Forte 2 speakers. I went to buy a pair of Heresys. My friend had a pair and I loved them. I was curious about other Klipsch speakers. After listening to the heresys first he put on the Forte 2s. My wife and I looked at each and said we have to have those. I still just love the sound of those things.

I second this.

Yeah I thought that was a weird setup too.

I was at ABT a few months ago and they had some on display. They were in the last room I went in in the audio area.

No idea about dbs. I sit about 12 ft away from Forte 2s and the volume knob is between 3 and 5 o clock. When the wife’s not home usually 7 or 8 o clock.

I’ll second that. Mine aren’t for sale.

Forte 2. I love mine.

Did you try a HDMI cable or a different optical cable. My second tv uses an optical cable and I had to use tape to keep the connection tight or it would cut out. I use the HDMI cable withe my Klipsch sound bar and it works fine.

I had the same problem with my Forte 2s when we downsized. Fortunately the house came with an unfinished walkout basement. I finished the basement so I had a nice place to still listen to my speakers

I’ve had Forte 2s for years. I’ve had them in large and small rooms and they’ve been great. I’ve found 6/10 inches off the wall and toed in slightly seems to be just right.

I have to agree. I’ve had my Forte 2s in big rooms, small room and a big room with high ceilings. They sound great in any size room.

Easy for me. Born to Run by Springsteen.
