Alternatives to Klipsch Forte II


I've had so many recommendations for the Forte II. I've never really owned a good pair of speakers, and thus don't know much about them. I like the Klipsch sound and have been seeking this out as a good, budget friendly, versatile speaker that doesn't require a sub.

Can anyone recommend something comparable in the sub $1000 range that will function well without a bass in a home theater setup for music/movies?

Try covering the wood floor , between the speakers and your
listening position , with thick area rugs .

Sometimes bass can be controlled by the speakers involvment with the floor . Raising the speaker off of the floor with air between it and the floor , as with speaker stands , can reduce the amount of bass . And sometimes filling in that space , known as beards , can increase the bass .

Also putting absorbing material on the walls , next to and slightly forward of the speaker side , can reduce the highs a bit and give the illusion of more bass . This can take the form of a blanket or heavy coat for trial and error .

It will really depend on the sound when you get it set up and can determine what you want to add or subtract from that sound . Room treatments can get quite involved...and quite exspensive !

Good luck .
