Everything in the system, other than the turntable, is new so pinpointing differences can be difficult. I have never owned horn loaded speakers before. I've noticed the speakers are very sensitive to positioning and thus listener position, they are very directional. The imaging is much better than other speakers I have used, almost eerily so. Whether at low or high volume they sound cohesive, the relative volume between the three drivers doesn't seem to change that much as volume increases with the exception that the bass seems to become slightly more prominent. They are being driven by a solid state McIntosh @ 150W, probably way more than needed for such efficient speakers. I find I naturally set my pre-amp to between 20 and 30 percent volume when listening to most music on this setup. The source is usually Roon via a Sonore Signature Rendu SE. I've listened to all types of music on these and am impressed with the detail from the speakers. I will resist saying "life like" but instead say that the high level of detail I hear sounds natural rather than artificial, digital or clinical. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus89 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 @finebokeh How did you get the custom rack veneer to look like the same distressed oak? I want to get distressed oak FIII's and possibly keep my CHII and give them the distressed oak look. Yours is as close as i've seen it look! Can you please list the products used? Thanks!

I found all the qualities mentioned in the review to be true for the Forte I's especially being amplifier friendly. How much better is the Forte III? I would sure love to personally find out.
