    Favorite thing about my Forte IVs- low volume listening

    Yes,  the Forte IV is a great speaker at lower volumes .    I think I had one of the first pairs along with Fido and after a year and a half I am still loving them. They sound great with any good amp and phenomenal if the components paired with them are of high quality.    Could this be my last speaker?   Possibly, they are that good.   
     

    I just retired my Quicksilver Mid Monos and am driving them with a Toolshed 300b and is sounds amazing.  Not that it didn’t before, but with WE 300b there are layers of detail that were masked before.   These speakers are awesome with the right amp.    
     

     

    That Toolshed amp looks amazing and I bet it sounds as good as it looks. I bet it brings all the best out of your Forte IVs. I moved from a McIntosh hybrid integrated to the Primaluna and that combo was the hot ticket to my ears. Several months ago I switched out my HSU sub for a REL and it blends perfectly with my Fortes. I can't stop listening!  I can't imagine the music sounding any better than it does now - Congrats on your new Toolshed amp/ forte IV combo!!!

    I love everything about the Forte IVs but lately have spent a lot of time listening at very low volume levels. They are very dynamic no matter the volume but the way they scale up and down as volume changes is superb. To me it’s critical that low volume level listening retains all the dynamics of louder volume. Of course cranked they ROCK! They blend incredibly well with my REL s812s and the Primaluna EVO 400 is a great match with them. Synergy!

    Those are beautiful and that is a great price for a gorgeous pair of Heresy iiis. They would make a great base to convert to Super Heresys.

    To shoot good photos, never mind pro-quality on\es, you first have to find a subject that you're passionate about.  It may be landscapes, architecture, pets, or the landscape and architecture of women you'd like to pet.  For outstanding images, the passion must be there.

     

    Was it HCB who likened photography to prostitution:  "First I did it for myself, then I did it for my friends, and finally I did it for money."?  He could have been joking, but it would be hard to tell.  He was a very serious-looking man.  The word looking has a double meaning here, in that he looked very seriously at everyday scenes and situations, choosing the decisive moment to press the shutter button, capturing the special moments in the everyday.
