worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's?

Hi,

How significant is this upgrade?  I went from Heresey 's to Forte's and the upgrade was substantial,

I suspect the upgrade I'm seeking comers in the form of La Scala's which I can't fit in my room

Is it worth the consideration or is it just a slight (if any) improvement over the fortes?

thanks in advance

@audiocanada worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's?

I recently decided to go with Forte iv's over Cornwall iv's after a lot of listening sessiuons with McIntosh amplification. For me, I thought the Forte bass seemed tighter and the speaker sounded cleaner to me.

The Cornwall soundstage was bigger but seemed a bit too much in my face....but that could be just me getting used to horns...I have an 18' by 30' listening room. Due to logistics, the Forte's are about eight feet apart and 18 inches off the front wall. I sit ten feet away so I have about 17 or 18 feet behind me. 

My ears say that the Forte soundstage gets bigger with better presence as I increase the volume. Using a First Watt F7.

Having said all of that, I am thinking about finding a used pair of Corwall iv's just to see...

Thanks for listening,

Dsper
