Paducah Home Theater Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I've had Forte III's sustaining 110 db easily on bass heavy rap in a large room with a little 45 watt per channel slim line Marantz receiver. You just don't need much. I have a Parasound Halo A23 on them now and I'm very happy but that's still more than what they need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burninator Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Emotiva TA-100 with their Bluetooth adapter gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Palmer Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 I did buy an Amazon Bluetooth external receiver. Seems to work just fine. I do have a guy that’s trading me a Denon DRA397 with phono and sub-out. I have my little Fisher and some recording equipment he wants.

I bought that same bluetooth adapter. Used it for a month before giving it to a friend. Been meaning to pick up another, thanks for the reminder. That Denon looks good. 80 watts each channel will power your Fortes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some reviews it seems a lot of people like the DRA-397, it also got good reviews also on its phono pre amp.

hammershaug Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 A few days ago I enjoyed the Forte III at Stereofil in Oslo. They were fed from this tiny little Luxman SQ-N10: http://www.luxman.com/product.php?pid=49 A pretty cheap(for a Luxman) integrated tube amp with EL84. China built.I think it was a wonderful combination. Played 10-15 songs from a Tidal playlist with old and new favorites - and got blown away! Then I ordered a pair of FIII in walnut. My first post btw, but a long time reader. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rap, there should be some kind of law? OK I know your a young dude so we will just look the other way for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it, take some pics when they get there, let us see your setup. We love living vicariously through others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
