op the forte looks like it is based on the paradigm pw amps
the hegel gear is going to be far superior we used to sell the PW amp.
you can get a lower wattage hegel then the 390 the 190 is both cheaper and lighter
we have a store with a huge selection of gear r if size and weight is really an issue
we have a demo set of nuprimes dac10 and amp 10 these are very compact and light weight the nuprime sounds amazing very different then most class d amps and the dac 10 is an excelent dac/preamp and headphone amp.
then there is the mytek brooklyn amp and dac which combines a fantastic dac streamer preamp and headphone amp and combined with the really tiny brooklyn amp makes a fantastic combo.
please reach out to the store and we can advise you on any of these options
