Hey @jbhiller I moved from the Forte III to the Cornwall IV and could not be happier. As always, your room should figure into your decision. I have a 25X20X7 "man cave" so the Cornwall IV's are certainly in their domain. That said, the midrange is a significant upgrade in the Cornwall IV. Bass is also better integrated and deeper....but it took some time to get there. I found the sound evolved over the first few weeks and has settled into a natural yet vibrant and lifelike presentation of scale and dynamics. Like @bigjohn9095 my McIntosh MA900 is waaaaay too much power. I rarely get to one watt on the meter but the match even at low level listening is very satisfying.
Guttenberg's Cornwall IV Review -- I'm in trouble

He directly compares the Cornwall IV to the Forte III (which I own). This is dangerous for me because his points on the differences between the C-wall and Forte hit home.
I'm calling the credit cards telling them any purchase involving audio in the next 60 days should be flagged as fraudulent! That should stop me, right?
Kidding aside, I'm dying to hear the Cornwall IV. If you have heard them, please chime in!
