If you listen to poorly recorded music (like the majority of CLassic Rock) dont buy Forte's of any kind. They are the least forgiving speaker in the Heritage lineup
I agree to a point. I have two friends with original Fortes with ALK crossovers and it was a huge improvement. It's hard to get them to sound offensive on any material. The Forte III could be a little unforgiving on some things, but supposedly a lot of that has been cured in the new version.
