Having heard both the forte iii and IV the IV is worth waiting for a deal on. The different crossover design/drivers make a big difference.
I know you don’t want other speaker speaker recommendations but… it is audiogon lol, so… the JBL 590 is worth looking at. They list for $2000 BUT they are on sale from JBL every 3 months or so for 1/2 price. They have free shipping and a 30 day (maybe 60) trial.
