I own a pair of original Fortes, and they don't need much power to sound great - in fact, I would not recommend a high-powered vintage receiver for these - I would keep your receiver to 50 watts per channel or less. Just make sure it's vintage watts(pre-1985). One of the most surprising receivers I ever hooked up to my Fortes was a cheapo Technics SA-300, which can sometimes be found for around $50 or less on ebay.
It made the fortes sound like a million bucks. Save the money and spend it on music - you've already got a great pair of speakers.
