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?

Tony, when I had mine on stands the soundstage seemed to open up even more. I felt that once they were on the stands all my small list of issues with them seemed to go away. The H4's on stands with a sub and 40w from my Mac240 was sublime.

I was listening to my Heresy IV's last evening and the soundstage was very wide....beyond the speakers themselves.  That's what gives them that " U R There " presentation.

H4's are fantastic. Amazing how many haters there are. I imagine these people dont know how to set up or never heard them or atleast not broken in and set up.
