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

As to the comment, “they’re not Bass machines”. Mine are very good in that regards, but I also have a well treated room, with very little cancellation.

did you a notice a significantly bigger soundstage over the Forte's?

would you consider the upgrade significant or simply a little better?

I know this isn’t exactly the same thing, but I had Forte IIIs, moved to khorns, then to Spatial Audio X3s to CW IV. I think the Cornwalls were significantly better than the FIII.

Better bass and soundstage. I would buy Cornwalls again for sure. I like the combo of the lumin u1 mini, BorderPatrol, Cary SLP 98 and SIT 3. I really enjoy the organic tone and texture along with detail this combination produces. I would love to try LaScalas, when I get a bigger place but I believe the Cornwalls have found a home for a long time.
