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

I haven’t heard the Fortes but I owned the CW IVs And they’re not bass machines. They will play loud and clear and with dynamics. They will not shake the walls unless you are really loud. They don’t go as low as less sensitive speakers. They just don’t. My current speakers have three 8” (92 dB) subs and they are noticeably better at reproducing bass (in the same system).
