Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated

I had a Leben 300XS with the Forte IV and it was a good combination. I had the Coda CSIB with the Cornwall IV and thought that was great, better than the EL34 combo but that's all I tried with them. I heard the CW4 with the little Luxman tube amp and wasn't a fan.

@superelmar I've had a Leben CS300XS with Forte IVs for about a year. I enjoyed the combination enough to want MORE, so I ordered a Leben CS600X and am currently looking for speakers that can build on the immediacy and scale of the Fortes. 

@bjesien Happy New Year, dude! Did you find the difference between the Fortes and Cornwalls to be diminishing returns subtle or fairly significant? 

Go for some Voxativ or Diesis Ludos.

@oceanandmountains Same to you! So when the rubber meets the road the Cornwall IMO was the speaker to be made. Kind of the same way the O/96 was meant to be made. As the product fills the market, lower cost items are introduced out of necessity to keep the business going (fill that next market) . Although good in themselves they don't quite meet the original in scale, ease, breathing room- dynamics, etc.

Forte great, CW better, but much bigger and not for everyone. 

@bjesien That’s a really useful comparison...thanks!

@superelmar Or Tonapparate Model 50?
