Tim with all due respect, Even though the speakers come from the same company. They don't necessarily use the same crossovers or design. From looking at the latest specs on the Forest, it shouldn't sound forward or bright.The Forest should sound fairly balanced. The Forest is also an easier load than the Rainmakers. These two speakers shouldn't sound a like.Check the latest Totem Forest measurements here. Why is it so hard for some to understand that the FR measurements correlate with what you hear and do have an impact? I call it denial.
Take both FR graphs I supplied and compare them to one another. It is as clear as day which speaker will be forward and which one will not regardless of what the tweeter is constructed of.
