Hi dgar,I looked on the klipsch website and looked up the forte,they almost seem to be like the previous generation reference series,I would try the lower price reference or the higher priced synergy speakers,by the way I have a set of heresys that I bought in 1983 ,and heard the fortes when they first came out, great speakers. sorry to be long winded but I would stick with the klipsch to kind of match the sound, just my 2 cents.best of luck.
