Forte Model 55 Amp


Anybody know anything about this amp? I did email Jon Soderberg and am waiting for his reply...but I think it's interesting that I can find almost nothing anywhere about this particular model other than the bluebook listing here. FYI in my somewhat modest system the amp sounds GREAT...(Adcom GFP 715, Silverline Preludes, REL Q150E sub). Anything leading me to a detailed list of specs or whatever would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I loved that amp, but it had to go to make way for a tube amp...a clean and musical powerhouse of an amp, and a really appealing look.
Bringing this back from the dead AGAIN. I just received my Model 55 in an auction purchase. The serial number is #055604 and like most here, I have found little or nothing online for this model. I have also reached out to Jon for info and prices for servicing, thank goodness he's still around! The serial numbers posted previously suggest the the production numbers were higher UNLESS they didn't use consecutive numbering (for whatever reason). Anybody come across any info on the Fifty Five OR have any literature I can have a copy of???
As mentioned earlier, the "55" was late in the Forte line and consequently may have more normal output transistors instead of whatever the IGBT things are. I also had little luck in tracking down info on these (hence the original post) , but suffice to say I enjoyed the amp while I owned it.
