They were singing alright for about 1 hour when the main fuse blew in my Dyanaco. I did some research and concluded that I should have use the 8 ohm tap instead of the 4 ohm tap. I also fused my Forte's to protect them from my tube amp from shorting out and taking out the speakers.

I've been listening to them with my Pioneer and anything past 1/3 volume is insanely loud. My wife went out to the local library to pick up different types of music. Every type of music I play sounds increadable.

MedMech what are you driving your Forte II's with?

Boneheaddoctor don't kick yourself yet, check e-bay to see what your equipment is going for now.

I picked up my pioneer receiver back in 1980 for $500 since it was a discontinued model. They have been selling on e-bay between $1500 to $1800. I won't sell mine since they don't make them like they use to - the same goes for my Klipsch Forte's.
