Anyone using Cornwall IV with subs? If so, what brand and size? One or two? Ported or sealed? How are you connecting them? If line-in, what's your low-pass crossover point? My goal is getting the best integration for music, not HT.
I had Cornwall III plus sub Wilson Benesch Torus connected low level. In my experience the sub adds first octave but makes Cornwall's deep range less fast. Hard to calibrate, too. So I decided to keep CW alone, placing them just by the wall, as suggested by Klipsch.
@wrm57 The Cornwalls are fantastic speakers and I enjoyed them immensely. The LS II just takes everything up a notch, and it's hard to beat a fully horn loaded speaker.
@alan60 I could live with the CW IV without a sub. The bass is very good. The sub just rounded things out a bit on some music. But they can certainly be enjoyed without one.
I run CWIVs with two REL T9i subs. I would think T7i (smaller units) would suffice. They are run off speaker level outputs from the amplifier. They are not necessary, but fill in the lowest octave and provide a good sense of stage depth and make things seem even more lifelike.
