Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel

The wife has banished my 2 channel audio addiction to a spare bedroom and I need some input on my selections. I have 2 klipsch rf7iis that front a 5.2 in the living room. Pushed by a Denon 4311ci. My wife loves them and won't surrender. My pioneer sx-1080 is the receiver I use for 2 channel and used to power the rf7s . I have JBL Northridge towers as well that I can't stand for stereo. I have been looking at some Klipsch KG4s as well as some Heresys. Looking for some opinions on the pros and cons of each. I listen to mostly vinyl and I like it loud.

Try some smaller Maggies and a sub and you might be happy if you can position them correctly.  Not all rooms work with dipole speakers, so try them out and take them back if they don't appeal to you.  Other than that, pick a box you like and go with it.  You can only tell by taking it home and listening to it.  If your dealer won't let you, find another dealer.  All good ones do this, of course, since we all know that your ROOM is the most important element in your system.  Most of all, enjoy the MUSIC!

Cheers!

In a small room my chorus’s would blow you out. They are by far the most sensitive klipsch speaker ever made. I have two LaScalas I run with them and my LaScalas cam barely hang with them. Btw I’m selling

Guess you've never heard of a little thing known as a klipschorn. 104 db vs 101 db. Nuff said.........

The Lascalas are also 104 db, but with the bass roll off of the Lascala, I believe this is the comparison being made here ( imo ). Enjoy ! MrD.

I had considered the new Fortes, but their largeness was an issue...they did a good job with the improved version (new mid horn I think) and I thought they sounded nice and clean when I heard them, but the Heresy IIIs are less obtrusive and maybe more room friendly as they're interestingly short.

Got the Fortes on order and can't wait to get them set up. I'm good with my hands and have taken on some repair jobs such as recapping a power supply here and there in receivers. How hard is it to install the Crite crossover upgrade on the Fortes? Is it a plug and play kit? Or more involved?
