Klipsch Forte IIIs vs. Heresy III with a sub

I have Forte IIIs but wifey thinks they are too big for our living room / 2 channel listening room.  Considering swapping for Heresy IIIs and adding a sub.  I like to get the really low frequency in stuff like Sylvan Esso but also want the sound of Klipsch for classic rock and jazz.

Three questions:

Will the Heresy IIIs sound as good as the Forte IIIs do now if I add the sub?
Will I be able to cross the sub over to match well with the Heresy's bass range?
Will a Sunfire 8" XTEQ sub work well with the Heresy IIIs?

thanks...

Update...

Well with the help of my two college age kids I was able to convince my wife that two Fortes is better than two Heresys + two subwoofers. Along with that I listened to some Chainsmokers and Sylvan Esso last night when nobody was home to distract me and have decided I have enough subsonic bass to live with....at least for the time being. So the Forte IIIs stay! They truly are wonderful sounding and well built speakers. Now to add the MC2105 and see if everything improves!

 

Thanks to all of you for your advice and insight. I look forward to many years as a happy Klipsch owner now.
