Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Having owned both of those

I am not sure. I had both in the same listening room with the same electronics. I owned the Klipsche for about a year and the KEFs for at least 3. The main difference is that the highs are more delicate with the KEF and you are certainly aware of the Klipsche and its horn tweeter.

Both limit/control the dispersion of the highs so they work well tilted in a bit.
The Forte goes louder and deeper, at least in my room it did.
The C95 has a softer bass sound and sounds as if it is deeper but I honestly think the Klipsche was.
Both are large but the Klipsche has a wider front. I remember linking the oiled oak.
The C95 disappeared more and imaged a little better.
Neither had a seemless sound to it but I enjoyed them both.

It's really your call. I gave my KEF C95s to my brother who blew one of the tweeters. It has been tough trying to get a replacment. I think it blew because he was playing a cheap Sony receiver into it while the receiver was operating past its comfort point.

I really can't add any more but hopefully this may help you.
