Klipsch Cornwall IV

If you are looking for the true klipsch sound you have to buy one made prior to 1981 otherwise you are buying an asian drivered klipsch not an american drivered klipsch and there is a major difference.

This opinion is not about the Cornwalls but more on your source.
Is the 105 your CD/DVD/Streamer? No TT or other I assume.
If so before you buy another pair of speakers buy a separate DAC.
For $750 -Denafrips Ares2-you will improve your sound much more
than the speaker swap. Or about any Dac you buy.
Have you tried Decware Speakers? 

@chorus.   My turntable is a VPI HW-19 MK4 with a Hana ML running to a Hagerman Trumpet phono pre - which just arrived a few days ago and is breaking in.

And yes, Decware is right up the road from me and is always an option. I've visited Steve's workshop and place a few times along the audition road.


Interesting about the Oppo - some say it is indeed a consummate swiss army knife of a player that sounds terrific on its own, and others deplore its sound. Compared to my analog rig it sounds a bit thin, but I have many times more money and time invested in my analog rig.

@saburo, you wrote  "My only nit to pick is tonality of some instruments."  Since the CW IV is said to not have horn colorations, would you mind giving more detail on your comment. Thanks.

Seriously? You ever hear the phrase, “if you don’t know what you are talking about, you should probably stop talking”? Yeah, well that applies here.

All Klipsch Heritage speakers are designed in the USA  by Roy Delgado and manufactured in Hope AR.

I guess you aren’t quite the “speaker master” you think you are........
