Thanks, learning that what I thought bad settings is bad recordings...... I had compared the Forte to the Bose 601 that my wife had when we married. The recording that sound bad on the Forte sound "better!?" on the Bose, the Forte did not always have the bass of the Bose speakers. The Bose do not have the mid range at all. Learning....

Thanks for all of the comments. I spent last evening listening to Beethoven's 2nd and 6th. I love the depth these speaker produce! Dennis

Thanks for all of the help, I really like the sound of my system. Some of the comments here got me thinking about what I may be missing. On my receiver I leave the tone controls flat, the mid range is so clear, and bass sounds very natural. I guess I will just enjoy. I have not heard Forte 2's, how do they compare? Dennis

Thanks for the comments, the speakers a placed along the long wall facing in. My seating ia about 6 feet away. I love the way these sound. Just wondering!! Dennis

New poster, a question for the audiophile here. I have a set of 1988 FORTE speakers that I purchased new. These are connected to a vintage 1988 Yamaha RX-100U receiver (purchased at the same time), These speakers came alive for the first time 4 years ago after we moved to our new home. They are in the bonus room over the garage (20 by 20 room), I mainly listen to classical, with a mix of country and some blues. I would not discribe the sound as bass heavy, but real "airy" and clear. Love the sound in this new room. Now after reading some of the comments here about how strong the FORTE bass is, I am wondering if I am missing something. Is the receiver right for these speakers? Do the caps need to be replaced? New crossovers needed? Any FORTE owners out there have any comments. Thanks Dennis
