Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately, they are ultimately not the best match for my musical tastes. And it all lies in the low end performance. For me, personally, to be satisfied with them for ALL of my musical tastes, I'd have to invest in a suitable subwoofer system that would do them justice. And I'm not ready to do that just to make them work in my system. Again, if I had the room to position both sets of speakers properly and switch between them based on what I was listening to, I'd keep them. But my room is too small for that, and moving 2 sets of speakers in and out that weigh as much as the Forte II's and the ZOB's do is a loser.
I'm sure someone else will be perfectly happy with their performance. Hopefully someone will take me up on the offer. If not, I may pull the 1808's and build a different set of cabinets that will give me the low end weight I'm looking for (probably the Super Pencil design).
In the end, it's been a great experience, and I learned a lot. Maybe OB speakers aren't for me given my listening preferences, not to mention my room limitations. Oh well...
