I own (since new) a Forte' 4a. The biggest suprise I have had was two weeks ago when I hooked up a new to me Audio Research SP-15. WOW, the bass just went from good to excellent.
So my story is sometimes it is not just the amp, but what is feeding it. My old pre was an Adcom 750 ($1,500 list ten years ago) and the new to me Audio Research SP-15 was $6,000 twenty years ago.
