  1. Yeah, the cabinets aren't as nice as the Chorus II (I have both). There's a lot of hot glue and many small corner braces inside.  Surprisingly, the backs havent blown off mine either, so apparently it did the job. The plastic caps on the binding posts can rattle and buzz, but they're decent enough gold-plated. I really crank em though. Very nice drivers and crossover. 

  2. I tried a pair years ago, but I'm not sure which model. It's an Audax soft dome in the center with horn loading, correct? Not compression drivers, like the Epics use. I certainly wouldn't turn them down if a pair showed up for the right price. The woofers have foam surrounds, I believe, which can fall apart and need to be refoamed. Not too hard, but one has to keep it in mind.

  3. I owned a pair of those, and sold them for about twice that on Ebay. Good deal, if it's legit. They had nice punch and bass, but a little rolled-off on the top end. I think that's how they were designed to sound. 

  4. I recently bought a pair of fairly rare T-5000, which are basically souped-up Heresy 2s in a large cabinet, with a 12" front firing passive. From what I gather, they're basically Fortes with a slightly different woofer. They KICK butt! Very spacious sounding, with low bass also. I mean vibrating the walls bass. Ive read the reviews of the Forte 1, and they were glowing. I wouldn't hesitate to jump on the Forte 1s. I have Chorus 2 in storage, and these T-5000 are damn close. Forte 1 are sweet.
