Still working on getting my Fortes set up right. I picked them up on CL only about a week ago. I'm finding that stuff that is well recorded sounds marvelous, especially small jazz ensembles. But Beatles recordings, with a few exceptions, sound terribly bright. John Lennon's voice sounds like he's on a telephone. I realize these recordings were made 50 years ago and may have been equalized to make the vocals sound right on AM radio. I'm using an NAD T-743 A/V receiver for amplification, since they are part of a home theater setup. I know - its an AV receiver but this thing weighs over 30 pounds so at least must have a serious power supply. I'm streaming from Tidal. Speakers are in the corners about 11 feet apart and about the same distance from the listening position. Towed in so they crossover just in front of the listening position. I have yet to do any upgrades like replacing the caps. Any observations?
