I'm really happy with the sound out of my LaScalas, but to be honest, I don't listen to them very often. I think I would be willing to sell them to own something with your name on them. We should talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest difference between them and the F3s is the sheer clear SPL they'll put out. Shoot. I have some extra Fiberfill, cryogenicly treated, made out of a eq balanced proprietary formula that I was hoping to sell you. Well, if they ever get tiresome, let me know.

Chris A Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 9 hours ago, Chief bonehead said: I agree. The speakers are often blamed when the recording is the culprit. When you look at the averaged mastering EQ curves that were compiled by Chapman (Bang & Olufsen) in this 1997 JAES article (starting on pg 14 of the file), you will see how much the quoted statement above is true. See the following post for an idea of how much EQ is used to both attenuate bass and boost treble on stereo recordings: Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the age of the listener here is unknown. some people like a flat high end to compensate for hearing loss above 10K. I have a friend who can't hear past 5K, since firing Canons in Korean war with no hearing protection did not fare well with his hearing. So the OP's hearing sensitivity may be at play here.

Emile Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 OK; my 2 cents Yes, fatiguing thread going back to 2017 No clue why some people complain about the "high" Klisch sound. Haha ... I usually raise my HF's by at least 3dB's. OK; much depends on the actual recording, room and "YOUR" ears. Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mic is a UMIK-1 calibrated, I was at 1 meter and 0 deg and height was 1/2 between mid/tweet. pointless in looking below 400hz I am only pointing out that Klipsch dialed the Forte III in with a "hot" tweeter. Some like that, I am very sensitive to it. A couple of reviewers also comment on the "hot tweeter" I love the speakers, just need to deal with the slightly "hot" tweeter, this temp fix of polyfill actually works really nice. gives about a 3db reduction Forte with merkin 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great your research on my region 👍😜 In Beaucaire there was a huge fair, one of the largest in Europe, from 1217 until the 19th century. There were up to 170 boats per fair on the Rhône. https://www.persee.fr/doc/geoca_0035-113x_1953_num_28_4_1380 In Beaucaire there are also Roman remains of Via Domitia and around less than 12 miles away, there are the arenas of Nimes and Arles, an ancient theater in Arles and of course the Pont du Gard. There is also known the medieval castle of Beaucaire and that of Tarascon in front. And then not far from Les Baux de Provence and Arles where Van Gogh painted many paintings. Sorry for this long "off topic", so back to Forte III 😁 I agree, it's better to play the tone controls rather than changing the speakers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniper Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I am sure these speakers work just fine if properly set up, with some good recordings, a good space, compliant gear, and house treatments..... give them a chance.....i trust Klipsch... lots of lines, for different apps... how many times have you heard how good, they can be....in all types and budgets... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
