@oddiofyl I recently heard Ken Micallef say that the Forte IV's are a substantial improvement over the III's. Have you heard the comparison with reflections of your own? At some point I may want to trade my III's in for IV's - and I will probably just check them out at a dealer nearby.
Brothers from another Mother ?
My wife and I attended the Tampa show two years ago and found 'Horn' speakers to be to our liking .
So , we have been trying to find something that will fit in our 13' X 24' rec room , look decent and give us
that 'Horn' sound that we desire . I would also like something that is efficient enough for SET and Class A amplification . We currently have a Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated amp .
I have been reading about the Klipsch Forte 4 and the Volti Razz . These two seem to be more alike than different . About all that I can tell is different solutions to bass management . Klipsch's rear radiator and Volti's
front ports . Both are able to meet our requirement of close to the wall behind them , about a foot or less .
We are not able to audition anything so have been relying on "You tube" vid's and written reviews . I know , but it is all that we are able to do !
A reviewer has a "You tube" video comparing the Klipsch Heresy 4 , Forte 4 and La Scala 5's . In that review he
plays all three speakers with the same equipment and song for each . My wife preferred the Forte 4 over the Heresy 4 . She stated that the Heresy 4 had too much energy up top and it was harder to understand the lyrics as compared to the Forte 4 , we won't consider the La Scala's . I thought that the Heresy 4's were quite good on the vocals putting them up front and the instruments in the background , sort of . Whereas the Forte 4's kind of recessed the midrange/lyrics to be equal to the bass and treble . Sort of all areas of bass , midrange and treble to be on an equal plane . This was through both existing speakers and headphones . ( I don't understand the difference but that is for another thread ! )
Can anyone help with how the Volti Razz would compare to the Klipsch Heresy 4 and/or Forte 4 ?
Thank you for your contributions and be Safe .
