I'm not sure how large or the shape of your listening space, let me add a few comments.
Heresy may sound better in your space than Forte's.
I have had horns and 15" woofers, and rear ports over the past 50 years. Necessarily wide face of speaker enclosures. Even though/because horns have wide dispersion, the proper orientation of drivers is important for imaging, especially wide face enclosures.
1. heresy, see how they aim up, that get's the tweeters/midrange properly directed to ear level seated. They are usually toed in away from side walls also. It also changes the orientation of the bass angle to the floor, ceiling, walls. I like all of these factors. I have heard them, very nice.
The Forte (never heard them) at 36 tall, flat orientation to floor, ceiling, walls can be problematic. Origin height of tweeter/midrange horns below ear level.You could angle them up yourself, and toe them in. I definitely would.
A rear passive radiator, Forte, like a rear port, needs careful placement, Like their famous Klipshorns, the rear surface/corners reinforce any rear soundwave, driver, passive radiator, port: likely problematic unless carefully and successfully placed.
Wheels. I have near corner placement for lower level less focused listening, and, wheels to move my very heavy speakers forward and in, away from the corners, for 'real' listening. Only 3 wheels, 2 in front, 1 in rear. 3 so non-wobble is always achieved by gravity, and the weight is distributed/divided by 3 rather than 4. You could add 3 wheels to the Fortes. I have a block above the front two wheels which angles the speakers up. I would definitely do this to the Forte.
Forte rear passive radiator. I and driver manufacturer designed a rear port for extreme bass extension of my 15" woofers. I have the ports blocked, in the current room, they are too much, not needed, cause problems. Passive radiator, you don't have an easy option to omit them IF they cannot be placed to extend bass without causing unwanted sound. In that case, the Heresy, which you already know sound great, will be a better choice. Smaller Heresy also wins the 'wife factor' challenge.
