Help identifying what Klipsch model I'm looking at!

[Beasley87]

I'm looking into purchasing my first pair or klipsch speakers and found these on the local CL. Can anyone tell me what model these are and some opinions on them? Thanks a bunch!

Klipsch Quartet. Like the forte II only shorter and a little less bass. Nice find if $300 and under.

Thanks Polarbear. The guy wants three bones for them but I think I might be able to talk him down. I'm planning on running these with a Scott LK72 that gets about 30 or 35 WPC. Anyone heard these with tube power?

Klipsch and tubes are a fine, time-honoured tradition and that should be plenty of tube power in any normal size room.

missing the risers in that pic...very nice sounding speaker the Quartet...very nearly a Forte' II...

My Klipsch speakers sound amazing on the Scoot 299 D tube integrated . . . klipsch sound their best with tubes.

I have a set and have ran them with a Scott 299 and a Scott 299d, they sound nice with tubes.

Go for it they will sound Great with tubes in a normal size room. Read the Sticky here about Klipsch speaker placement.

Decided to get a little crazy and got a pretty excellent set of Chorus II... on the low, around 4.5 bones!!! id still like to pick up the quartets for less than 2 and a half. Thoughts?

I agree :yes: most tube amps with the right selection of tubes are awesome with vintage Klipsch Heritage.
Cornwalls sound Great on a Yamaha A-1000 Class A,AB SS Integrated amp too. My late Dad had Scott, Fisher and we both had McIntosh tubes in the last 40 years and I liked them all. But now that I am retired, I have my system on all day, sometimes 14 hours a day. Tube maintenance got to be a PIA every two years or sooner now.YMMV on that.
