Threshold 400a Amp vs. Forte 4a Amp

I own the Forte 4a amplifier and might have the opportunity of having a Threshold 400a amplifier. Have any of you guys heard both? Thanks

In a smaller room I have KEF 104/2 speakers and I paired them with a John Soderberg refurbished Threshold 400A amp. The sound was a bit forward sounding and a bit too in your face to me. I think if I had the KEF 104/2s and the Threshold 400A in a bigger room the sound would be more open.
