luckyduck Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 A very simple system right now, thank goodness for DC101, 98Rock and a few classic rock stations. It's going to take a few years for me to put everything together, but the bottom line is...these speakers are outstanding! I'm super excited about owning them and being a part of the Klipsch family. My receiver is a Pioneer VSX-517, which I bought brand new, and even though it's an entry level receiver, the sound is full and rich. CSN's "Wooden Ships" and the Stones "Street Fighting Man" were a few highlights of my day. It's like I've never really heard these songs before. I've noticed that even at higher volumes the music does not come across as blaring. It has volume but it's majestic. This is a great web site, I learn something here every day.

shinerman Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Looks sweet, enjoy and welcome!! Just think, you won't have to buy any new music for awhile- because all your stuff sounds like new stuff!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago_Pete Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 You certainly have good taste in music. Two of my favorite tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 forte ?? You might try pulling them a bit more away from the wall to let the passives breath. I start with distance = dia of passive 12 or 15 Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 It looks to me like they are out from the wall by at least a foot, but Michael is sure right about them needing to be away from the wall some. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 A very simple system right now Hey, simple is good! I'd just be looking to add either a CD player and/or a network music player (Squeezebox!!). I've noticed that even at higher volumes the music does not come across as blaring. It has volume but it's majestic.High sensitivity returns low distortion and outstanding dynamics! Otherwise known as klipschsound.[]Your room looks like the kind of room in which your significant other may limit your freedom to experiment with speaker placement. But, perchance the good lady of the house allows, getting the speakers a bit further apart may improve the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I like how you've disguised the Klipschorn to look like a cupboard. Very wife-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Top Notch! I would also recommend spreaading them out more; at least 6 ft apart............ Now get a cd player and rock out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skonopa Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 A very simple system right now, thank goodness for DC101, 98Rock and a few classic rock stations. DC101 and 98Rock?? You are obviously in the Washington, D.C/Baltimore area as those are the same stations that I've often listened to (as well as 102.1 out of Richmond - at least until Clear Channel ruined it). Unfortunatly, cannot seem to get 98Rock real well in Fredericksburg. As of late, had not really listened to much radio, since I've pretty much listen to everything either through my music server or via CDs (in addition to the dedicated iPod hookup in my car). Anyway, nice little setup you got there. Getting a decent CD player and a Sqeezebox would be really nice additions. Plus, I think your setup looks good in that room.

oldmako Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If you can get it, try WRNR in Md. 103.something. I slouch them off the innernets since I am so far away. If you were aorund DC in the late 70's and early 80s you may remember the original HFS in Bethesda and not the crap which it morphed into after Jake Einstein sold it. Excellent tunes. Outside of a college town, I have yet to hear an FM station which stayed so far away from playlists and payola. Enjoy the speaks. Simplicity is pretty cool too.

Groomlakearea51 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Love them black lacquer Forte's!!! [Y][Y][Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 And so it begins. Black Fort'es were my first Klipsch speakers, I still have them as mains in my HT, where they are doing a fantastic job. You need to get that cab out of the corner so you can move your speaker there, give them room behind them and play with placement and they will reward you with awesome sound. Welcome to the Klipsch family, the sickness only gets worse from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
