Threshold T-50 vs Forte 4 ?

My local dealer has a used Threshold T-50 for sale at $700. There are occaisionally Forte 4's on Agon for $500 or less. Are these two essentially the same amps? Would they be a good match for my Spica T-60 speakers and a C-J pv10a pre-amp? Is $700 a good price for the Threshold and can it be serviced if neccessary? Sorry for so many questions in one thread. I appreciate any feedback.

I believe that though the wattage is the same, the t-50 puts out more current-it is a different design-In truth with spicas either amp would be sufficient, they're both muscular for their sizes. Threshold, I heard on line, is open for service and may have reopened for business-I read this in an audio-review, review. it is second hand and should be treated as such.

good luck
