Hate to say it but I've paired my Forte III's (I know not exactly the same) with my Sugden A21SE (30W Pure Class A) and while powerful and rich, there's just a tab bit too much harmonic distortion and not enough air and detail. My tube amps work so much better. I know you have no interest at this point but if you ever decide to give tubes a chance the Leben CS-300xs pairs amazingly.
