My supposition is Cornwall would be better in a few ways, slight extension, and a bit tighter imaging. Apply ’slightly better’ to EVERYTHING you listen to, that’s a LOT.
I haven’t heard Klipsch in years.
Cornwall has 15" woofer, front ports, no rear port or radiator.
The Forte has 12" woofer and 15" rear passive radiator.
My speakers are similar to the Cornwall: horns with 15" woofer, (mine: no front or rear port* or passive radiator).
Note the specs for Cornwall bass is a little lower, and the range is tighter +/- 3db, the Forte is +/- 4db.
*I actually have a rear port, now closed, I used it open in another space with no rear wall. Better closed here.
