Here is another option....well within your stated budget...from a company whose products get great reviews and great forum comments...with plenty of power to make the Fortes sing...and you have a full 30 days to try them out.https://avahifi.com/co... 
"Dazed and Confused" about upgrading current speakers
The goldenear amt is both loved/hated for its sound...but there is no doubt that amt's are fast and open...I'm thinking that if you are going to change, you might prefer another speaker with a similar fast top end....a RAAL, another amt...a Be.Som...

Surge protector
If you leave your system on all of the time, no matter what protection you have... lightning rods, panel protection and/or unit surge protection, you are taking a risk and therefore relying on insurance to cover your loss.  Even if they are just o...

A couple more things about the cherry amps that I didn’t mention. 1.  Most of their more detailed information seems to be located on their audio circle page... link at the bottom of their web page. 2. You will find that the are willing to sacrific...

I owned the Crown XLS 2000 for a while so I have a sense of the QSC... and I agree... great for subs.

The QSC amplifier is more of a pro audio amplifier that will work for home audio producing 300 watts into 8 ohms and handling speaker dips to 2 ohms. The Cherry amplifier is 14x 10x 4 inches... and they have much smaller mononlock amps also. These...

If you have ever read the works of Nobel winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman, he devotes a lot of brainpower and ink to proving that people develop a process of thinking that usually makes it very difficult for them to accept change. Often, compl... 
Tekton or Klipsch
At one point I owned the tekton lore and the ls50 and a power sound audio s1500 sealed sub. As good as the ls50s sounded, they could never replicate anything close to live sound dynamics when used with the sub... the lores were far better at that ... 
Tekton or Klipsch
Since at least in theory every component in the string influences the sound... what might the Rothwells do?The Schitt Sys might be a viable option to moderate the 40 dB if gain as another option.  
Tone, Tone, Tone !
No doubt measurements have a value and a place....maybe they may get you to the right arena in the right city...but they probably won't get you to the right seat.  Why?  Because we all have individual preferences...we have different gear...we have...

@prof I agree with your last post and that the spendors have great tone... but put them in the wrong room or with the wrong equipment and they may not shine so well..... and my brain may hear and process what an acoustic guitar sounds like a littl...
