Klipsch forte II what league are they in?


Read some good things on the net about these. Fine, but do these play in the same league as the likes of harbeth, proac and reynaud or are they just a really good, middle of the road, fun, plays loud, good bass, economical, musical, party speaker? Are they a serious audiophile speaker by comparison with the others?

Very nice speakers once you upgrade them-really a must IMHO-caps and both tweet and midrange diaphram.
I would opt out on the Klipsch K-53 Ti diaphram/driver if you ruunning the stock autoformers-they don't sound right. The Crites mid diaphrams are fine, and work well with the stock type-or Crites crossovers.
Personally I prefer the Quartet's as they seem to do 98% the Forte's do in a smaller package.
IMHO sems to have less of that 'boxy' sound, and bass is much tighter.
I would also recommend a through sealing of the cabs/drivers to elminate bass bloom.
Solid cabs-but they do leak on the occasion.
