Threshold T-50 vs Forte 4 ?

My local dealer has a used Threshold T-50 for sale at $700. There are occaisionally Forte 4's on Agon for $500 or less. Are these two essentially the same amps? Would they be a good match for my Spica T-60 speakers and a C-J pv10a pre-amp? Is $700 a good price for the Threshold and can it be serviced if neccessary? Sorry for so many questions in one thread. I appreciate any feedback.

The price of the T-50 is definitely good.

However, since it's so cheap, I'll make sure to check with him any repair/mod history. I'd be suprised he doesn't know the true value of this amp. Does it come with manual/box? Do they look beat up? Just be careful.

I own a T-200 and never have any problems.
Yes, the IGBT tranistors aren't replacable.

Threshold is definitely back in business with services of previous models as well. Check out www.threshold-audio.com.

Hope this helps.
