Man, this thread is killing me and possibly my wallet. I’ve always been a fan of the Fortes going back to the 80s. I’m debating swapping out my early 90s KEF Reference 2s for a pair. My family room setup is modest:
-Yamaha AVR1060 (as preamp and for HT amps)
-Parasound Halo A23 (driving mains)
-Node 2
-Pro-Ject Debut Carbon
-HSU VTF-3 MKII sub
What else in that price range should I be looking at new or used? Being a family room setup it has to pull some light HT duty too (currently 5.1.2). I like mostly classic rock, jazz, old school R&B amongst some newer stuff. My room is about 22’ish x 25’ish with an open side to the kitchen area. The Forte IIIs are my first choice if I make the change.
Thanks.
