shraggs,
I agree with you on the forte' amps. Bought a model 40pre with phono and a pair of model 7 monos. They were great and did play above their price.
I know they play above their price because I still own them! Could never bring myself to sell them because they made my ProAc speakers sound so musical. Have them in a second system / smaller room.
If you find used forte' gear ; I would grab it.
