willland Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I hope Quartets/Fortes/RF-63's will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadklipsh Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 willland, how much different are the fortes from those quartets of yours soundwise . moray james has been guiding me to get the quartets as these both share the same mid/high frequency drivers . the difference being in woofers and cabinets . the prices for the two differ much more . so do you think quartets should be bought if not fortes ?or should i just live with my RF3s . would quartts be better than RF-3s.both music and movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte II's and Quartets share mids/highs. The Quartets are an awesome speaker with just a tad less bass than the Fortes/Forte II's. With the tractrix midhorn, the Quartets are a little less placement specific over the Forte I's and off axis listening is a bit better. IMO, the Quartets will be better than your RF-3's for music mainly because of the midhorn but may not have as much of an edge for movies. As I have mentioned frequently, I like all of my speakers(copout answer but true) and each have their own good qualities. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadklipsh Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 if quartets are better than rf3s , no offence taken, i love the fact that the oldies still beat the newbies .i wonder why the old stuff was still unbeaten by the reference line . point no.2 , if quartets cannot be better than 3s in movies , i dont think it hurts me, coz i know iv never used the 3s to their full potential .perhaps not even to half as loud as their full power handling. so im sure quartets would also be fine .

It really has nothing to do with power handling, it has everything to do with sounding BIGGER and more detailed. Power handling really means very little, you could fry your RF-3's with a 20 wpc amp because of distortion at high volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 [H] if quartets are better than rf3s , no offence taken, i love the fact that the oldies still beat the newbies .i wonder why the old stuff was still unbeaten by the reference line . Here is an order list of my listening sessions with my speakers. No offense taken here.[][:@][H] 1) RF-63's(satellite, movies, music) 2) Fortes 3) Heresys 4) RB-5s 5) Quartets As you can see, it is not in order of preference, just convenience. I really do enjoy them all for different(and similar) reasons. I am constantly listening to CD's in different configurations to compare and just to make it a little more exciting. point no.2 , if quartets cannot be better than 3s in movies , i dont think it hurts me, coz i know iv never used the 3s to their full potential .perhaps not even to half as loud as their full power handling. so im sure quartets would also be fine . I did not imply that the Quartets can't be better for movies, I was just expressing that gap between the two sets of speakers would not be as wide. I am almost certain that Quartets in a HT system would be absolutely incredible. I just think the detail you can get from a 3-way speaker is where the edge is for music but not so obvious with HT.

Moderators dtel Posted February 22, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2011 Willliand, to me even with your list of different Klipsch they all sound a little different but overall they all still have a similar sound, I guess it's the horns and probably even more so the way Klipsch "voices" there speakers. Do you find the same thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find the same thing ? That is definitely what I am trying to say. I think(hope) I could pick out a Klipsch speaker in a blind test by the somewhat signature voicing.
