Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV

I am interested in understanding the difference in soundstage between Heresy IV and Forte IV and the reasons for the difference.

Bass I can get, but concerning soundstage, what is causing the difference?

I hear that Forte soundstage is better than Heresy, but I also hear that the Cornwall soundstage is better than Forte. Arent Cornwall and Heresy using the same mid and tweeter components? Then why would Forte have better soundstage than Heresy?

Proper listening triangle and correct toe-in Forte’s have massive soundstage in my main rig. 20 watt SET 300b driving 845 output tubes, volume pot never past 10 o’clock.  Does it sound live? Close!

If you've never owned Klipsch....you can pick up a new pr. Heresy  IV's for $2500.....see if you like the K-sound....then , move up the line.....

None of the Klipsch Heritage line have a problem with producing soundstage. Take it from someone that owns La Scala AL5s.

I dont mean to be unappreciative, but the question was...preface first...I have heard online that Forte Iv's have better soundstange than the H4. Is this true? If this is true, what in the Forte causes this improvement?

The two are very similar in soundstage.  The difference in the two is the Forte has a fuller sound and a bit better bass.
