| Forte Model 55 Amp You have a Forte' Model 55? So that's 2 confirmed ownerships. All I've found online is the info here in the Bluebook, and some conversations about other Forte' models. Soderberg did say in an email that these are the last gasp before Forte' "moved... | |
| Forte Model 55 Amp Yeah...I got another email from Soderberg verifying the "100 into 8" (170 or so into 4...the Bluebook here is vague, but I assumed amps are listed as "into 8 ohm"). Info is accumulating in dribs and drabs...bottom line is that in its current unmod... | |
| Forte Model 55 Amp I have found plenty of general info on the Threshold/Forte' connection...Forte's were a LOT less expensive than Threshold amps. I just can't find anything specific to this model such as a list of specs. ANYTHING!Also, I personally would not buy an... | |

| What Speakers to use in a bar/restaurant environment Forget the amps and buy a set of newer (series II) powered Mackies maybe. They're the smoothest (much sweeter than the JBLs) and most musical for the money (QSCs are also great but cost a lot more) and the 10" 2 ways weigh 20 lbs or something with... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? High accuracy midrange is (to me anyway) important, so I tend to prefer smaller drivers (no offense to Serge, my valet). I have some Silverline Preludes (a bargain...trust me) and an old REL sub with the beefiest 10" I've ever seen. By dialing in ... |
