Congrats to all the new Forte IV owners. I have been enjoying Cornwall IVs for seven months now and am extremely happy. I imagine the new Forte is excellent as well.
I think you'll find that the forte likes being less than a ft from the wall. I had my IIIs 10 inches from the wall and that seemed to be the sweet spot in my room.
So you haven't heard ANY of the current Heritage speakers? You should qualify that the klipsch speakers you are familiar with from 20+ years ago didn't suit your taste. The Heritage speakers of today are far and away removed from what you heard,
Cornwall IVs are starting to show up on the used market pretty regularly. I just sold my pair a couple of weeks ago. They are really as good as everyone says, try to hear them if you can.
