lordrootman,

Nice comparison. It's impossible to make reliable judgements over computer speakers, but that said, yours sounds very clear and immediate. I would never guess that there was such a crazy price differential in these systems. I think that the Epics are amazing speakers, and that's why I've kept them longer than any other. 

Thanks

I had a pair of Epic C4, they rocked but I didn't think they were shrill of harsh.   Same for my Heresy III.  They were a little lean sounding without a sub but sounded great with 40 watts of EL34 power.    

I have the Forte IV and they sound great, not harsh at all .   I would say this is because I am lucky to have great electronics with them.
