    Center Channel with Forte III

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    I am size limited due to having to wall mount.  I've had a Martin Logan Motion 8  for the last couple of years and love it. I know folded tweeter matched with horns is blasphemy but it works for me.  I have Forte III for L and R and everything blends flawlessly with Marantz SR7012 and audysee

    I’m 64. And no I’m not a troll.  I’m not sure why not knowing who Freddy Mercury is or isn’t makes me one. I never intentionally listened to queen ( I now know that is the band he was in) or journey or foreigner for that matter. Just not my cup of tea.  Steve Perry’s season tickets for giants games are right next to me and someone had to tell me who he was and why he would lead the stadium sing along for Don’t stop believing. 

     

    Fair enough.

    I have to admit that I have no idea who Freddie mercury is and quite honestly I’m not sure if I have ever heard his music. Seems like many believe him to be a hero based on their impressions of his talent. That’s enough for me. 

     

    Out of curiosity how old are you? Troll? Can't figure out how you managed to not know who Freddie Mercury was....what are you're musical listening habits?

    Looking for a good Sub

    Hate to derail but get the dayton audio hf15 and the flatpack sub box to go with it. More performance than any commercial sub at same price point and even above....Im running mine with crown amp but you can get plate amps for them too....

    Forte 3, slight damage, $1250

    The way the veneer appears on my Forte III it would be very difficult to repair. Where that damage is would be very noticeable. This would be good as a center in a front three for HT but only behind a screen where you wouldnt see it.  My ocd wouldn't allow me to look at that nick every day. Maybe someone else who is a little more laid back could? 

    Your Top 3 Receivers and Why?

    Get a Marantz and call it a day. Id recommend the 7011 if you can find it under 1k. I have the 7012 and it is phenomenal and has tons of options for customizing the sound to exactly what YOU like. I have used Pioneer elite in the past and although a great receiver it didnt sound as good to ME. Which at the end of the day is the real point with all these posts.  You will have to listen to the receiver in your house with your speakers to see if you will like it or not...All the brands mentioned are excellent choices you just have to figure out which one works best for you.

    How much difference would an amp make?

    I use a Marantz AVR as the heart of my system. I don’t listen at crazy loud levels. I did incorporate a pair of Marantz monoblocks but to tell you the truth the difference in sound is not discernible to me at all. Glad I bought them though as I will use them eventually in a separate music only system in my den down the road. As was mentioned earlier, want vs need.

    My Marantz SR7012 sounds great quiet or loud.  For music or movies.  Paired with Forte III.  I keep deliberating adding a 300-500 watt amp but just don't feel like I'll notice a huge difference.  I had a McIntosh MC275 VI that I had to remove due to placement limitations and only noticed a slight loss in the low end but nothing earth shattering...
