I picked up a pair of Forte 1 yesterday (BC crossover upgrade already installed). I have several fullrange speaker systems..... (VMPS Supertowers, Apogee Duetta Signatures, and Apogee MiniGrands).
After listening to my new Forte for a few hours yesterday (Rogue 120 Magnum tube monos) ....I think the Forte bass response is very good in my large room?....much better than I was expecting...... it's musical and with great impact.( I'd guess 30-35hz)
I'll be listening to the top end today with some well recorded violin music I have...but I didn't hear anything that makes me think I'm short here either?....although I was mostly checking out bass yesterday.
