Mark51 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 New Klipsch owner and new to the forum. I had just bought a pair of KG4's on CL for $280. Then a few days later, a pair of Forte's appeared on CL in Oak for $500. Could not let that pass. I was afraid the wife was going to kill me but she took it well. The Forte's have hardly a scratch. First time I've owned a 3 way system and wow what a sound. Now I could be set for life as far as speakers go. Live in a small place so La Scala's would be out of the question. But there is a mint pair on CL Spacecoast, Florida. I'm not going there but help yourself. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Welcome to the forum. The sickness is upon you. You think you don't have enough space for Lascalas, but wait, there is that voice in your head that can become very persuasive. Enjoy your Klipsch. They are wonderful speakers, and again, welcome.

Woofers and Tweeters Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Not sure what you're using to drive the speakers, I like the SS stuff. When you place the Forte just right, and that, most likely, won't happen the first place they land, there is magic that lets them blend into the room and make a sound stage. They are supposed to have been one of the, if not the, most ballanced speaker Klipsch made. If you feel that you don't have enough space for LaScala, you should get a bigger house. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I hope I shortcut that collecting process. Not that I haven't been tempted. I started with a pair of entry level R15Ms and went straight to a pair of LaScalas. Room for them? We'll figure that out when I get them here. I told the wife to think of them as tables that make sound. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless combinations of amps, pre's, and speakers run through the mind. Is it a problem when it interferes with the workflows?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the sickness takes hold, the next stage is looking around for a new place to move. The terminal stage of the sickness is you then look at bigger & bigger....more & more.... and need space. When you start eyeballing the wife's closet to gain extra space, you know you have a problem. Just trying to warn ya to the early indicators...

PrestonTom Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Mark, congratulations on your new speakers - enjoy them Coyote, You paint a very stark picture which is also disturbingly accurate. Every night when I fall asleep I pray that there might be help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of friends made, great conversationd and to AB speakers along with other equipment. I started with the Heresy and have slowed down with the MCM.....Have to admit that, after hearing one in Hope this past spring, I am hoping to get an 1802, or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do remember the old story of the shoe maker who goes to bed. The little magical folk would come in and make all the shoes while he slept. I believe there still may be magic. The reality is that when I wake up I know that if she ventures into the listening room, she will shake her head a mumble something about it must be a guy-thing.

Panelhead Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I picked my first Heritage speaker early this year. Now I have two pairs. But there will not be a third pair. Selling my old speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK Thom Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Congrats. I have always wanted a pair of Fortes. They excel with Jazz which is my favourite genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
