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.
I think the Forte IV bass is excellent, while it doesn't have the pitch definition of a Cornwall it goes pretty deep. I had a pair of Heresy III prior to these and the Forte are in a different league.
Don't really like them much, too in your face, but I think the Forte are the most "musical" of all the Klipsch, but definitely not the loudest. I had the MkIII
Your tastes seem to be in the upper echelon.... Wilson , Magico.... which most can’t afford. Why dis a speaker you aren’t even interested in, and I’m willing to bet you never heard the Forte IV .
