Hi All,
I'm new here to the site and in need of some advise. My wife's newly divorced best friend recently went to Best Buy looking for a new stereo (to replace both her old stereo and her ex-husband). Well, as you can probably guess, the salesman must have smelled an new calf in the coral because by the time they got through with her, she had spent $1500.00+ on a horrible Kenwood surround sound sytem with all the uneeded wiring, etc. and she's not very happy to say the least. She listens mostly to current blues and 70's rock and has a fantastic collection. Now, I have the chance to pick up a pair of Fortes locally for what seems to be a great price ($300.00) and want to pair them with a Pioneer SX-1250 (I am working on somewhat of a budget). Any thoughts or suggestions on if this system will work for her? I've read reviews saying that the Fortes are harsh and placement is everything. She just wants a nice sounding system with no muss or fuss. Thanks for your help.
