Back in the late 80's I had Klipsch Forte's. Great speaker's but during those years I could not afford a proper amp. Years later, I'm retired and recently moved to Cabin in the mountains. My current system will soon be sold and I'm looking for speakers to go with an old Jolida JD-1000a and the Forte's are high on my list. The Jolida is a EL-34 based integrated amp which based on my old acoustic memory would be a great match with the Fortes. The amp has plenty of power to drive the conventional driver and the EL-34's to smooth out them horn drivers. Jolida has had a name change of name to Black Ice. Same great owners and product.
