| What Makes your System Special? @dweller I’ve heard Heresy IV and Forte III. Like them both very much. Cornwalls appeal to me also. Which to go with would depend on room and setup options. Nice to have so many good choices. | |
| What Makes your System Special? @lloydc Yes I am in process of plotting to downsize over time as much as possible. I’m a Class D amp fan so that will help. | |
