Jweber, here are my C's:

The C's (93 db) are not as efficient as the forte, and can dip down to 30 Hz with the eq. They are *very* laid back (and coupled with tubes and a nagaoka cartridge, maybe too laid back). I can listen to them all day and never get fatigued. I'd love to compare them to the forte (or forte II). I don't have much of an opportunity to audition speakers, and would prefer to hear them with what I'm already running since "system synergy" is always important.
