dkpack99 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) I’m putting together a Klipsch home theater, it looks will likely be four Klipsch Forte 2s (front and side), I’ve read that the Academy is the center of choice... Anyone have one that they’re ready to move along to a new home? Thanks, Dave P. PS - I’ve been doing a ton of research here, it’s a great site and I’m glad to be getting more involved.

opusk2k9 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 You should get the KLF-C7 or KV-4 instead of the academy. This is a good deal on one, but a bit of a drive: https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/ele/d/smyrna-klipsch/7207346968.html closer, but more $: https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/ele/d/elgin-klipsch-center-speaker-klf-c7/7207354258.html or this would be decent: https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/ele/d/sugar-grove-klipsch-kt-lcr-thx-speakers/7224066634.html 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opusk2k9 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I have KLF-30 for fronts, Forte for side. They work well. The KLF-C7 is the matching for the KLF-30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always heard the k-76 in the academy is closest to the heresy, Cornwall, forte line. I’d love to hear them all in the same room. Those KT-LCR look nice, never heard them, six inch woofers.

dkpack99 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Thanks everyone, especially Opus, I bought a like new KLF C7 from Opus’ Craigslist link...easy transaction right across from my work from another Klipsch nut! I should be picking up 2 pairs of Forte ii’s on Wednesday. Edited November 2, 2020 by dkpack99 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of those while great centers are designed for a totally different speaker line. You guys must be totally tone deaf if you can't hear the difference in timbre.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a rough academy, if he wants to hear the difference. With the loud tinnitus in my right ear, I probably would have a hard time telling the timber difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
