richieb Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I have some nice Quartets, baby brother to the Forte and designed by the world famous Roy Delgado, that need a new home. They could be shuttled to the Klipsch gathering in Hope, AR end of April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the thing - I'm a real newbie, not technologically savvy, and am putting together stereo components so I can listen to the vinyl collection (mostly blues and jazz) I inherited from my dad. My receiver is a Marantz 2270. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about speakers but there's so much to know it's pretty overwhelming. Add to that the fact that because I'm looking for vintage speakers I can't just walk into a store to listen to them to get a better sense of what I like/don't like/ though I'm going to listen to current-day Klipsch speakers this weekend. From the advice I've gotten online in re: speakers that go well with the Marantz (minus the ones I can't afford right now, which is most of them) I narrowed it down to Klipsch KG4s, Forte II's and the large Advent. Comments I've read re: KG4 vs Forte II leans heavily toward the Forte II. I found a pair of Advents on Craigslist and am trying to arrange a time to make the hour drive to hear them next week.

USNRET Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hope, please tell us more about the room you will be putting these in; size, ceiling height, carpet, tile, etc. this will have a MAJOR impact on final sound. Say more about the "current day Klipsch" you plan to hear as there is a wide variety and some are ...well, some are not what the brand was built on.
