The level of production value is fine; you manage to keep things equally laid back and professional, which helps to set you apart. Keep doing you, man.

I have watched all the other reviews and own the Klipsch Forte III. And this is the most accurate review so far, both thumbs up!

[wiebl]

Great pace, and clear information, concise. You are a class of your own. Thank you.

Top notch review. Your product reviews are some of the best I’ve ever heard, in that your descriptions of components, spkrs, etc. are just plain excellent in how precise you are. I know you say that you don’t have any type of script, but your thoughts are extremely well said nonetheless. You’ve got a gift, dude!
Many thanks for reviews I can actually take to heart. 🎶 🔊 🙂

You talk straight from the heart, you're a no bullshit reviewer

Sean! Great job, it’s a funny review in that it’s a rave, and you’re hedging. Two things I would say about any great speaker are: they’re hard to place perfectly and they’re fussy about amplifiers. Forte III is fussy about placement and revealing of electronics.

Original Fortes since 87. My Dad bought them for 800 bucks and gave them to me about 15 yrs ago. Glad I’ve kept them because I sure couldn’t pay 4K for the new ones. The originals never sounded sibilant to my ear. Keep up with the great content.

Forte just plays music with ease and will give you high dynamics when you want it. Horn speakers are different and not for everyone but always remember no speaker can satisfy everyone.

[dawolyan]

Excellent review, excellent video! As always! Love your input, and the passion you have for your calling! Thanks brother!!!

[robertalker]

Took me from January to August 2019 to get what I believe is now the proper placement for my speakers. Coupled with the burn in period between, I have since achieved and since exceeded the delight I had hoped for in my purchase. Good luck with yours.

Like most here, I’ve heard a lot of reviews on the Forte’s for years and it’s cool to have your take on them. Great vid as always 👊🏼

Very good to have you back! I have not heard the Klipsch Fortes (in any iteration). I have a late-80s pair of Klipsch Chorus IIs - my first "serious speakers" I was able to afford. At first, I loved them. Then I started to notice things about them that slowly began to change my opinion of them: The midrange just sounded like a winter storm after a while. The top end sounded fatiguing and the low end, while very plentiful, was not very tight. I guess I noticed all of this when I kept switching between rock and jazz. But as I say, I was sort of a newcomer. I had been told that "in order to get good bass sound, you had to place these speakers up close to the wall). Well... I pulled them out from the wall a couple of feet and toed them in a bit, and yeah! The sound definitely improved. Sometimes I wonder if my hearing is screwy though... I'm 56 years old and played in rock bands, etc. I still cannot get the high end to sound revealing enough without it getting fatiguing to me.

I had a pair of forty 2 and I love them but had to sell them. the person I sold them to still has them to this day Klipsch makes great speakers

[snowpuppy]

Excellent review. I feel like your review above all others of this speaker tells me what to expect. I feel I have a much better understanding of what they are about. To me it seems like these are a good candidate for someone who has a reference system and wants a second system that while is still very good is mainly for fun. A change of pace from the reference system.

[Jayiyagi]

Great review. I like your hat. its iconic at this point.

[tarquineous]

Great perspective. I have always had to work on getting the most out of my speakers, including some internal mods like bracing, parts, tilting upward, etc. The good news you gave us is these Forte IIIs sound really good from top to bottom. Thanks for the review!

Glad to see you found a way to get excited about these speakers. You listed quite a few amps. Which did you enjoy most running them?

[edjackson]

I've owned several sets of Klipsch speakers over the years. They take a long time to completely break in. The bigger the speaker, the longer the break in. They are also very sensitive to a cold amp. So, give them 40 or 50 hours of medium volume play (when brand new), and make sure the amp is good and warm before doing any critical listening. If you hook these up to a cold amp right out of the box you're going to hear harsh highs sloppy mids and lack luster bass, BUT! give them a good break in, let your amp warm up for 30 minutes and they sound FANTASTIC!!

The only home audio channel on YouTube with no BS. Change my mind.

Nice job man! Appreciate the work and thoughts, thank you!
