| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Tomic601, as I'm reading your scheme of a VandyVan, I immediately conjured up a vision of a class A motorhome with quad slideouts and a full setup for auditions. All sponsored by RVandy of course. But then, but then, I came back to reality....Yes... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Schubert, I just picked up ur comments coming off the golf course here in northern California. It was a cool 75° today !! Sorry, can't imagine 9° except when I'm skiing. Well you've been around Klipsch enough. Interesting on the Forte being the ex... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Tomic601, I'm in the San Francisco south bay area. That's cool u chatted with the Man this am. Flashlight trick is smart helomech. So the woven mid cone is a big improvement mr_m. I'd hate to leave technology on the table with sight unseen speaker... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Yes, yes and yes....I would love to get K-horns and I have the room for it. BUT, it would totally turn the room into audio only (not a bad thing), no big screen, furniture issues, selfish?? Tomcarr, sound advice for sure. I'm going to ask a coupl... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Ozzy62, good info. Glad u like the Forte III's. I just can't buy without listening to both sets of speakers. Tomic601 has a solution to just buy both, do the A/B, then sell a set. What a long way around though. Sure miss the days of an Audio store... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Tomic601, "glare and fatigue", ya, I get it. I guess I want that pair of "do everything well" speakers. I like soft, low level music sometimes and then I get in the mood to really crank it up and feel the music. That's where I thought the Forte II... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Thanks for the above input. I currently have 1981 ADS L1230's. I imagine that they will compare more with the Vandy 3A Sigs than the Forte III's. And, if I go with the 3A's am I getting enough of an improvement over the ADS? I should mention that... | |
| Klipsch FII's with mods vs. FIII's Yup. Darn. I first saw La Scallas when I was a kid a loooong time ago. I love the Klipsch history, the story, US made, etc. Who knows, maybe some day it'll click. Gotta go with what your ears like. Thanks for the input. | |
| Klipsch FII's with mods vs. FIII's Sorry, he had a tube amp with a tube pre-amp. He did caution that they would sound altogether different with a SS amp. | |
| Klipsch FII's with mods vs. FIII's So I went and auditioned the 1991 Forte II's today with no mods. I had not listened to Klipsch speakers, La Scallas & Kornerhorns, in 30 years. I wanted to like them but.....I found the highs too bright for my liking, just like 30 years ago. ... | |
| Klipsch FII's with mods vs. FIII's Haha. Thanks | |
| Klipsch FII's with mods vs. FIII's Cornscala's, interesting. Ok, let me say, I'm not big on change if I like what I got. I have the same system since 1980 with ADS 1230's. I moved into a new house with a different dynamic in the listening room, Vaulted ceiling, glass, open room on ... | |
| Klipsch FII's with mods vs. FIII's Ozzy, thanks.So what are you coming off of speaker wise? Are the III's blowing you away compared to some comparably priced 3-ways? | |
| Power Amping an Integrated Amp Gkr, thanks for your response. Nice to know you had the same set up. You're right that the ADS's have a high sensitivity. Doesn't happen often but I have flickered the Power Guard "reds" on the 6200 at times. It's that headroom waiting in the wing... |
