Read our complete Klipsch Heresy III vs. Forte III breakdown and review here: http://bit.ly/2WWC6H8 Heresy III Floorstanding Speaker - http://bit.ly/2N04qIT Forte III Floorstanding Speaker - http://bit.ly/2WXYmVV It's been over 70 years since Paul Klipsch created his first speaker in a tiny shop in Hope, Arkansas. The Klipschorn loudspeaker represented his goals of recreating the feel of live music in your home. He built the Klipschorn adhering to four design principles: high efficiency, low distortion, controlled directivity, and flat frequency response. Paul Klipsch went on to design many other speakers using these same principals. Due to demand from loyal listeners, Klipsch has brought many of these classic speakers back under their Heritage Series. To be a part of this classic speaker series, the original speaker had to be designed by Paul Klipsch himself. While the Klipschorn gets a lot of attention being the flagship of Klipsch speakers, some of the other models offer a lot of its sonic characteristics at a much more affordable price point while also taking up a lot less space in your listening room. Today’s review will compare two of their most popular models, the Forte III and the Heresy III. Both of these speakers share several common attributes. All Heritage series speakers are completely designed and assembled in Hope, Arkansas. Every single speaker is built to order by craftsmen who in some cases have been making them for decades. They both use furniture grade wood veneers with choices of walnut, cherry, or black ash. The Forte also has an option of oak. Not only do they use great veneers, but each speaker pair is also grain matched with panels that come from the same timber. A pair travels through the factory as a pair and receives sequential serial numbers. You will be able to hand these down to the next generation, they are made to last!
