I like mine well enough
I have speakers by B&W (600 series) and Martin Logan (SL3) as well
for Rock and Loud music the Forte IIs are awesome and beat the others in my list
and do not need much power
great if you are on a budget (but DO use a high current amp)
SO I would say they are major league players
but need the right amp
(not an expensive one)
bang for the buck they can't be beat. The Martin Logans are better for Jazz and vocals
but can't play as loud
and need a MUCH better amp
both high current and wattage to sound good and that is a tough combo
and room size and placement is a bigger issue with the MLs
Klipsch seem happy in the corners and not too fussy otherwise
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?
