New Klipsch Forte III’s


Just got my new Forte III’s in yesterday. I’ve put about 8 hours on them thus far. They sound fantastic, but the bass is a bit anemic, it’s there, and deep enough, but seems turned a few db down relative to the mids and highs. Now I know the room is some of this, since every speaker I’ve used has had the same issue. I have a REL sub, but I’d rather not use it.

Anyone else have these speakers, and does the bass get louder with break in?

Im using a BAT preamp and Parasound A21 amp. Source is NAD M51 DAC or Technics 1200gr TT.

Have the Forte 3 as well. I found the best bass response when positioned closer to corners and a foot away from the walls behind and beside. Also I personally find the Forte 3 performs better using SS amps vs Tubes. The extra power gets the cones to really move and do the job these big woofers were intended to. More bass to ya! 👍
