    Default Want new 2 channel system

    Want to replace my HT RM7600, psw650 system with a 2 channel system. What newer polk or Klipsch floorstanding speaker would you recommend. I have a set of old sda2's in my man cave and had klipsch forteII's. I really liked the forte's. I plan to power them with a Adcom 555II. These new speakers are going in the main living area so they need to look pretty... They don't have to be brand new just lets say 2005 to present

    I'm very happy with my LSi25's. They look and sound great.
    Likewise the RTi12's or RTiA9's offer a more "up front" sound, but in my view are another great speaker.
    I enjoy both for classic rock.

    LSi 15's. I'd wait until the new line comes out though. Either drop the coin on a pair of the newer model or find a bargain on closeout or used.

    This is my second Adcom amp. The first was a GFA-545 that ran my Forte's, I took alot of ribbing running Adcom with Klipsch but it sure sounded good to my ears. My second Adcom a GFA- 555II is hooked up to a set of 1985 SDA2's, nice but I thought the forte's sounded better.

    If the OP likes the sound of Klipsch Fortes, he will not like LSI 15's, two totally different sounds. I would think the RTIA 7'S OR 9'S would fit the forward presentation he likes and look purdy in his living room.

    The only wound I've received from the 555II has been to my wallet.
    TO ERR IS HUMAN. TO FORGIVE IS CANINE.
