Well, after receiving my RSW-10 sub, I am extremely pleased with my Forte's, the academy, and the RS-3 II surrounds - very pleased. I haven't even fine tuned the setup and it rocks for home theatre - that sub really made things come alive! I thought it may be too small for my room (15'x15', 10' high walls and cathedral ceiling), but it's the perfect size. Found out my receiver is a true 90 watts per channel for all 5 channels, when selecting "5 CH Stereo" mode (for listening to music); with all 5 speakers rockin', I don't need to turn the volume up as high as I did when only running the front mains..... so less overall distortion at the same volume level. I think I'll keep my speaks!

Only 50 WPC?

yes I did, but no biggie. Was wondering what type of coin was required for the amps you guys are talking about.

jt1 - yes, it was very helpful.

Having a hard time finding adjustable height stands for my RS 3 II's - they are an odd shape. I can wall mount them, but only vertically, not horizontally (a lot of windows in the room) - not sure if anyone have done this before. If so, which way should the tweeter be facing - the ceiling or the ground? thanks, Mark

I have a set of Forte II's. Walnut. Approx 10 yrs old.

got a pair of Forte II's in Walnut. e-mail if interested

I've got Forte II's in Walnut. Just looking around for a new set of mains.

Have had my Forte II's as my main speakers for about 10 years. Nice, but bass is very dependant on speaker placement, among other things. Also, at higher volumes, the midrange seems to get kind of harsh. What are my Forte II's equivalent to, today? I love strong mid-bass punch for CD listening. What mains would you recommend as replacements? I'm running a Denon AVR2802, which has 5 channel audio for CD. Was thinking of moving my Forte II's to the rear (as surrounds) and getting some new mains - good or bad idea? thanks, Mark
