from Employee Accomodatio Summary:
Well these are my first Klipsch floorstanding speaks. They are way more efficient than what I was using before (Polk S8). I'm used to speakers crapping out at the higher end of the volume nob but these Klipsch just keep getting louder and louder and louder with no distortion. Well, I can't hear any distortion...
The tweeter is bright but the ported enclosure insures that the bass is right up there along side of it. I LOVE the way the horns sound. Every subtle detail is IN YOUR FACE. There is NOTHING missing from my music and I'm even hearing details now that I've never heard before with my previous speakers
Stereo mode without the subwoofer is actually impressive. Those 4 little woofers POUND and I can't even see them moving... SOO EFFICIENT!
I give these speakers 5 stars because I didn't pay much for them and they are LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than anything I've heard in the store or in anybody elses home for that matter. Well, the midrange on the Forte is something to talk about, but I don't have room for those. These are a great size (not too big) and will fit almost anywhere because of their slim design. Strengths:
EFFICIENT (don't need a lot of power to get a lot of sound)
PROVIDES MUCH NEEDED "EAR CANDY"
CAN GET VERY VERY LOUD WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION
NOT TOO BIG IN SIZE
SLIM AND SEXY LOOKS
5 YEAR WARRANTY Weaknesses:
At extremely high volumes, the horn can seem a bit bright to people not use to horn loaded systems, but that's only because I've been listening to a muffled tweeter all these years. Now I call it "clarity" heh heh...
Exposes any and ALL flaws in the music or movies you listen to(especially with a clean amp). I'm a big fan of "hearing it as it was meant to be heard" so I guess this is more of a blessing than a weakness... Similar Products Used:
