I have to agree with Krelldog and have said this many times before. The Forte' amps are excellent for the money and smoke far more expensive units with ease. If you look around, you can find the 1's for as little as $325 with the others typically going for at least $100 more than that. For the record, i'm speaking about the model 1, 3, 4 and 6, as these are all that i've owned. Can't speak for the 5 or 7's, although the 7's should be fabulous ( monoblock versions of the 4's ) and the 5's shouldn't be any type of a slouch. Like anything else though, they do require system matching for optimum performance. I know of no other line of amps that i could recommend so heartily for the money. Just keep in mind that these are NOT "slam" type amps, just very sweet, airy and musical. Sean
