Hi everyone. I'm a newbie and this is my first post, although I've been reading a lot. Thanks for all the info.
I've grown up listening to Chorus2. Recently I've got my own pairs of the Forte2 II and loving them.
Now I want to setup a 5.1 HT which will do Music / HT(TV) : 50/50
RF7 I,RC7 I,RS7 I or Chorus2(main), Academy, Forte2(surr)
I've read as much as I could and figured out that if I ask, the answer would be, both are good in different ways, so go hear and choose which you like.
The problem is that it is hard to do a A/B comparison the two systems, especially as I am looking for the older version of the RFs. I'm not sure even if I'll be able to put this system together, so hard to find them on currently. (MD,DC area, I see some rf3 systems)
So, my questions would be,
1. Could anyone give me pro and cons mainly focusing on the sound quality with the two? What I will be missing if I go with one and what I will be getting?
( assuming middle size living room, carpet)
2. Your personal choice (assuming you have experienced both.) - but I wish a fight doesn't go on
3. Any alternatives for the Academy since it is so hard to find in case i go the heritage route.
4. Any suggestions for the surrounds instead of the Fortes? Heresy, KG boofshelfs, rf bookshelf? ( mainly because of space)
5. Will Denon x4000 be OK if I go either way? (price seems nice at the moment)
Thanks in advance.
