prajlh Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 What surrounds, either classic or currently available, would be the best match for my Forte II's and Academy center? Also, any recs on good AV receiver for around 500-600? Thanks in advance for your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctullo Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 You need to give a little more info so people can try to answer your question better. Otherwise, you will get the answer of another set of Forte's. Are you looking for monopole, bipole or dipole? Can you use a full speaker or do you need something smaller?

prajlh Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 i need something that is smaller than forte and can easily be hung on wall or ceiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istari Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Back in '93 Klipsch recommended more Academys. I have a diagram from Klipsch showing such a setup. But Academys are hard to come by and expensive. I bought mine in Little Rock in '92 for $360 ea. at Custom Audio (one of Paul's hangouts). I've seen them go for more than $400 ea. on Ebay. Good speakers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 For the surrounds, you may be looking at RS-3's to fit your design requirements. Unless you plan to do a lot of 5-channel music listening, I believe they will work fine for surround sound for movies. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I'd seriously look into a pair of the KG 1.5, which are pre-drilled to support the Omnimount brackets. I have a pair of the 1.2s (not pre-drilled), and they do great with my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krispy Kirk Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 First off, check out the Onkyo 787 thread in this forum. Good reciver at a good price. As for surrounds, Klipsch makes no recommendation for a match with the Forte/Academy. I would be willing to try smaller KG series, a pair of Quartets or Heresys, or any of the Reference series surrounds. Hey, just be glad you've got an Academy! That thing is practically worth its weight in gold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
