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.

Thank you all for your responses. From what I can determine, both the Threshold and the Forte use the IGBT transistors. Both are suppose to have 8 per channel. I am concerned about the reliability of these and potential service. Macdonj, do you happen to have an email address or website for Mr. Soderberg?
