I'm absolutely addicted to my forte II with mods. I listen for ten or more hours a day. During covid-19. Zero fatigue. I run a vintage marantz 2285b. Bliss.
I was a proud owner of a pair of Heresy II when I was young like you, and really appreciate your approach to reviews, especially in this "Klipsch dilemma" that splits in two, from decades, the audiophile people. Great job, Jay!
I really like how you clearly outlined the sound of Horn/Klipsch speakers and made clear that many horn speakers nowadays sound way different than what most people think, i.e. better. I hope your video is enough to make some people curious about the sound of Klipsch speakers and maybe even gets some people who don't like Horn speakers to give them another shot and just listen to a modern good Klipsch speaker. I myself haven't owned a Klipsch speaker in quite a long time and was thinking about it the other night, so maybe I'll make the call right now :) Thanks for all the informative, as well as, entertaining videos! Keep up the good work!
I have been looking at Speakers for a while now and today I have Mirage Om-7 speakers and have been looking at Klipsch Forte IV for a while. And now i become even more interested in that speakers. Good review.
I am in love with the heritage series, especially the Cornwall IVs. They are the aural equivalent of a hot rod: brutish, American, exciting, engaging. You don't feel neutral about them. Me? I'm obsessed.
I loved this review!!! Insightful and entertaining!! Thanks.I'm 66yrs. old and my current 2 channel system is The Heresy 4s and Naim unity Atom with a Definitive Sub. I absolutely love the sound I get in my listening space. And placement with these speakers is EVERYTHING with these also. Thanks keep up the good work!!
Great review!!! I just listened to your Cornwall Iv review and then this one again and my choice is definitely the Forte IV! I was going to spend money on something less expensive but I am going to wait and get these!!! Thanks
Omg if I won those forte 4’s I would absolutely cry. I’ve wanted to hear something from the heritage line for quite some time now. Just out of my price range. But I’ve been listening to klipsch for about a decade and I’m 29.
Roy Delgado is doing great things at Klipsch. Nice review, although i would have liked to see more of a comparison to the CWIV and the HIV if you've heard a pair. That's 3 different price ranges and size ranges for people to consider in the non-fully-horn loaded heritage lineup
Jay, such a great and full filling review you did here! I look forward to review the cornwall IV`s myself. Do you think that some american tube amps would balance well with these very efficient speakers?
Thank you for the great review! I think a lot of people that don't like Klipsch it's because they heard their budget line speakers from Best Buy. There's a huge difference between the Heritage line and budget line from Best Buy. I'm planning to get a pair of Forte iv's. I was wondering if you've heard any Anthem products? I was thinking about running them with and Mrx 1140?? I've heard really good things about their products and that the sound is warm and sweet which I think may help tame the Forte's top-end and make it a little smoother and sweeter. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated thank you
I wonder which of the Klipsch Heritage series speakers will work best in my dedicated 22-square-meter room. My heart goes out to La Scala because I think that although they are much larger speakers they do not have as much bass below 50 hz and would give me less problems at a listening volume of 85 dB at two meters away from the listening point.
Compliments for a great review ! No complicated adjectives used to describe the experience which no one understand other than the reviewer himself. I own a pair of Forte III and really enjoy them, and I think that these just take the game forward. So many people complain about build quality of Klipsch, with no internal bracing, inadequate internal insulation, cheaper crossover components, and without any separate chambers for mids & lows (like their own reference floorstanders RF 7 III), but the Forte ‘s still sound great. Really great.
They use compression drivers for the mids and tweeter. Why would they need separate chambers for mids and lows (or highs) when the horns are already isolated from the woofer due to the fact they are horn-loaded.
@@frankvee There could be coatings for the horns themselves, extra bracing that does not rattle itself, more expensive parts, thicker cabinets, special wiring, for a slightly better sound, but the price per speaker would easily go up $500.00 per speaker. This is where DIY mods come into play. I would like to see a premium version for each speaker. I don't know if klipsch is willing to do that. It would require lots more manufacturing space and parts inventory.
I'd like Klipsch a lot. I have a pair of Cornwall III and I love it. Big realism and live performance. But they demands to adjust to your room accurately; so if you will do it, you will enjoy them so much!
Great video Jay. I have an old pair of kg2s; after 33 years I still swear by them. I like vinyl - few other speakers can handle vinyl recordings like Klipsch.
Nice review. You touched on room placement a couple of times... How far away from the wall would you recommend? And if you place them closer (say 6in to 1 ft away from the wall) are we talking "not as good as perfect placement" or "they will sound bad.... get something else".
Hey Jay, very nice intro and presentation, thanks! Could you please answer a few questions and advice for me if possible? I now have a pair of Legacy Audio Focus SE floorstanding speakers and running two Mac Monoblock amps 1.25k. However here is my (possibly) next move. I may be able to get my hands on a Gryphon Mephisto Class A amplifier @ 175 W per channel. You may be wondering why I am looking a Klipsch and not a pair of Wilsons or Focals etc. I am ready for a speaker change more than anything and I know you are familiar with the Legacy Audios from the past and what they can do so in your opinion will I have some fun with these Forte IVs or the Cornwall IVs at least for the time being? I am hopeful within a year or two to step up again so this may be temporary but seeing I love hard rock and jazz and electronic I enjoy a more bottom end performance but as you said will the Klipsch be a problem if they "screech" brightness? Is a class A amp well suited? I am also running a Mac MC1100 preamp and a pair of REL 212/SX subs. My listening room is decent so what do you think? Appreciate it dude!
Hi. Jay. In one of your past reviews you gave klipsch cornwall IV hi marks for a great speaker.. Now in a new review it's the klipsch forte iv? If you're not happy with the cornwall IVs let me know I'll take it lol...
I own Cornwall IV's and if you would've told me 10 years ago that I would I would've laughed. I've owned Maggies, Vandersteen, Thiel, Spica, Dahlquist, ESS, Spendor and Manu more. Nothing has provided a more enjoyable sound as have the CW's. Your review is one of the best Heritage reviews I have seen. Well done indeed!
Jay you are an absolutely right on the money buddy. I have a set of Klipsch Chorus and I just went to my music room and pointed them maybe a bit more than slightly towards the room and WOW WOW WOW.
Jay I must say very generous of you..I never had the pleasure to listen to the IV's. I've heard the II and older. yes definitely that concert sound naturally do to horns being used in live music. They just didn't have the mid-bass I enjoy. Can't wait to hear the IV's. Great Review. Keeping it real..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts (especially with regard to integrity at low volume playback). In my area exposing (easily appraisable) new bought things on sidewalk would be way too dangerous as I already made my experience with burglary within few days afterwards. I usually use black stretch film to hide the contents of whatever I bring in or out. The way to go is talking to delivery guys and apply that black film instantly prior to unloading. In your neighbourhood might be unnecessary, lucky You! BTW Steve Guttenberg just acquired a taste for driving the Cornwalls with high end Class D (e/g Mola Mola). As usual, there are more paramenters or "adjusting screws" to consider and even more of trial-and-error experiments to bear, like it or not.
After over 20 years of being into audio, the Forte IV are the first Klipsch speakers that I’ve liked enough to buy. Also wound up liking vintage late 90’s Rotel integrated amp I have. The slightly rolled highs on vintage amps matched well for me. Only thing I noticed with the Forte’s they can be powered with low wattage but become much more dynamic with more power, my old Rotel is 250 watts per channel, AB, might have something to do with their peak power rating being so high at 400 watts. Tried my tube amp and many other solid states including Naim and Chord, liked the vintage AB solid state best.
i just want to say this Jay, thank god you have this channel. The other where we had the three M, was just not in your league. Love your videos. Keep it up.
Klipsch and horn speakers in general bring a unique level of realism that other designs don't have. And today's Klipsch speakers are much more refined and forgiving than they've been in the past. And with so many low power tube amps on the market now, their high sensitivity is a nice bonus.
All good points. Only a few watts of tube power & you get wonderfully vivid sounding speaker that's plenty loud enough for home listening scenarios. The Forte IV gives the listener a lot of that room filling La Scala sound at a decent price.
Yes, horns and tubes are both wonderful and very realistic. It goes without saying, ya gotta learn what your room sounds like, which takes some practice.
I have a horn rig at home (Bill Fitzmaurice Omnitop 12) and haven't heard klipsch speakers but am expecting a similar sound with the "rough edges" filed out as I have to EQ the Bill Fitzmaurice quite a bit. I have also played with Eminence APT80 tweeters and they do clean and powerful well in a multi way setup. Paper cone tweeters sound like CZcams in comparison. They are not a background speaker as the highs are crisp. You can soften the highs with a grille or equaliser. I happen to like this sound. I want to hear the finger snaps and bass twang. I find some speakers a bit boring (vintage KEF passive radiator design I had) where it sounds like the tweeters are barely on - or they are buried behind some laundry.
Great review Jay. Looking for a speaker about 38 inches tall. You also review the Totem Tribe. What are the differences and which would you recommend. Thanks.
The lively editing style of this video rivals the dynamic presentation of the Forte IV! I really like your tips on setup and equipment matching. As a horn lover, I wonder how the Volti Razz speaker compares to the Klipsch Heritage line. Hopefully you can hear Volti speakers some day.
I have Cornwall IV and Razz BUT havent done an A/B yet. The Cabinets and parts used to make the Volti are superior in every way. Wont be surprised if the RAZZ are better bang for the buck.
I have two different systems in my home one with Cornwalls the other Heresy's .They sound different one like being in a studio, the other like being in a music venue. I will always be a Klipsch man !!
Curious about this SMSL VMVA1. I wanted a class A amp and this has been on my radar. Sadly, things like the Forte IV are out of my reach in my country.
Enjoyable and informative review Jay ! . So knowing you're very familiar with Tekton Lore original , a comparison of the forte iv with the Lores would be much appreciated if possible. Thanks .!
Really cool review! Being an owner of the Adamantes, I will be curious about your opinion on Diapason Adamantes iii or Astera, I think those speaker would deserve definetely your time. Reagrads, Marco
Love your channel even more now that you took the speaker out and showed the inner workings. I always take my audio gear apart and look at the inside. Of course that is why I can't have anything good. Very afraid I will ruin my stuff. As I have done in the past. At least I am not very proud of myself!
Would the Forte or Cornwall be a big upgrade, difference and change from the HS8 studio monitor? I love my HS8 for record listening (not just for critical, neutral, flat, studio, music production work). But dreaming to get Klipsch maybe one day.

Love your style man, great review.
Nice review! I will be auditioning these ASAP!

This review literally made me laugh out loud. You just got a new fan 👍
Nice review! I started out my Klipsch journey with Forte 1s and loved them! I sold them for LaScalas. Even better, but much lower WAF!
I'm a Klipsch fan thanks for sharing your experience and opinions
Really great video. I love when you are throwing away your CDs and listening at night on the floor. I can relate in my apartment. Hehe.

This has to be the best review of this speaker... ever. Well done!
Wonderful & Practical Presentation
Excellent review.
Are you able to measure the “in room” bass frequency response?
Great review as usual.
Klipsck LaScala is one of the best speakers ever made, hands down. They are also so beautiful!!

@@roofpizza1250 most big box stores aren't klipsch heritage dealers. It's a separate line
I have a horn rig at home (Bill Fitzmaurice Omnitop 12) and haven't heard klipsch speakers but am expecting a similar sound with the "rough edges" filed out as I have to EQ the Bill Fitzmaurice quite a bit. I have also played with Eminence APT80 tweeters and they do clean and powerful well in a multi way setup. Paper cone tweeters sound like CZcams in comparison. They are not a background speaker as the highs are crisp. You can soften the highs with a grille or equaliser. I happen to like this sound. I want to hear the finger snaps and bass twang. I find some speakers a bit boring (vintage KEF passive radiator design I had) where it sounds like the tweeters are barely on - or they are buried behind some laundry.
A great blue-collar review, thank you my friend.
Any thoughts on the F IV with that 300B amp...or with any SET, or with the willsenton R8? Cheers!
What you say about the Forte is the same for the Chorus too. It too has a rear passive radiator so can’t be too close to the rear wall.
Great review Jay.
Looking for a speaker about 38 inches tall. You also review the Totem Tribe. What are the differences and which would you recommend. Thanks.
How does it compare with the heresy IV, did you hear them Jay or getting one soon to review?

Now you just need to convince Pass Labs to let you review the XA25 with these :p
The XA-25 does sound great with the Klipsch Fortes. No doubt. I found though that tubes (namely Line Magnetic LM-508ia) are quite a match!
Surely Steve Gutenberg did that

Can you please comment on how they compare to Cornwall IV considering a small room 9.5”x13”?
what components did you use?
Hey Jay, do you think these will go good with a Mcintosh MA5300?
Fun video Jay!
Quality and price choice, one of the best in her price range ,not expecting she can beat the B&W 802 or same or higher level speakers
