  1. Nice review. What version of forte do you own? I had forte II for almost 30 years and upgraded to IVs about a year and a half ago. I have heard Cornwall IV although not in my listening room. I actually prefer the forte IV in the bass department. INMHO punchier. The Cornwall is a great speaker in its own right, however there is something about the forte line that I cannot replace. How large is your listening area? If considering purchasing new, INMHO the WOW factor over the forte is not there for me. IF you go with Cornwall, I hope it meets your expectations and delivers that WOW factor for you.
  2. As Woofers and Tweeters stated a recap would set you up for another 30 years or so. In addition, applying a coat of Howard's Feed & Wax semi-annually will keep the cabinets looking great as well. What is the full serial number? I, or others could date year for you with. My 1992 fortes are now being enjoyed by another forum member. I bought a pair of forte IV about a year and a half ago.

  6. Forte IV or any version for that matter will fit the bill for you very nicely. With the forte, unless you are looking for subterranean bass you can forgo a subwoofer.

  9. The forte's need to be anywhere from 8-12 inches from the rear wall for optimal sound. What type of furniture would be behind either speaker? A photo of your environment would help with recommendations. Are you looking at getting a pair of each, or are you trying to decide between the two?
