well i ended up purchasing the forte ivs today. excited to try them out and hopefully come to the same conclusion as all of you.. one other question: is it possible to order the grill in lambswool, separately?

did you not enjoy those other speakers (e.g. fyne, monitor and focals) with the yamaha? any particular reasoN? curious as i'm trying ot make a decision w/o the benefit of listening to all these speakers w/ my amp in tow . thanks!

Thanks for the reassurance all! I know many prefer Klipsch heritage w/ tubes so it gave me pause. Others have said the yamaha can be bright, but i believe that refers to yamahas in other lines more. Specifically, i am looking for a full sound with clarity, perhaps a tinge of warmth, and pronounced bass--Tight, controlled but not boomy. The highs should sparkle, a tad more forward than neutral, but not hot. naturally the mids should be glorious! The monitor audios 300/500s also seem like a candidate for this signature. I know this is a klipsch forum, but given my amp and sound signature, would the fortes be the top contender in this price point? thanks all!

Driving myself nuts trying to determine if this combo will work well. Recently i had the opportunity to listen to the Forte IVs at a Heritage dealer. I enjoyed the sound but the dealer had them running off a Mcintosh Tube amp. My situation at home is different. I have a Yamaha A-S1200 which i wish to use for 2 channel listening. For those that may have listening to this combo - will they synergize well? Or should i look elsewhere? Other speakers i've earmarked are Focal Arias, Monitor Audio Silvers, and Fynes. I listen to everything from classical/opera , jazz and Rock to Electronica, Reggae, etc. basically i need something that can hold its own in all genres. I have a pair of Ohm Walshs that excel at choral stuff but to my ears, are not very good w/ rock music. Any advise would be super helpful!
