Klipsch Cornwall IV


Hello all,

I'm interested in what people who have heard the speaker feel about it. I currently run spatial M3 turbos and have an all tube analog setup ( line magnetic, hagerman ) with an oppo 105 being the digital front end.


Previous speakers have been acoustic zen, reference 3A, Maggie 3.6, and triangles. I am more concerned with a huge immersive sound stage than I am with pinpoint imagery. I have a big room and have plenty of space between the back wall and my speakers if I need it.


Any thoughts?

I have to respectfully disagree about the CF4 being close to the Cornwall...  I owned a pair of CF 4, they were a fun speaker but the CW IV is better in every parameter.   In fact I am going to be so bold to say that my Forte IV sound so much better than the CF 4 that its not even a contest.    
Again, I can't argue with that, because I haven't heard either of those speakers. It's been a long time since the Epics were designed, and I don't doubt that the Cornwall IV's are superior. I wish that I could afford to find out.
Having said that, I'm still surprised to think of how many good speakers I have had that didn't sound as coherent as the Epics. I really think it has something to do with all of the treble and midrange coming out of one horn; and as far as the bass goes, it just breathes better than most other speakers I've owned with the possible exception of the Spendor SP100,
which had a good, but different sort of bass. The Nestorovic 5As also had good bass.
Move back to the East Coast Roxy and you can break mine in for as long as you like...and the RAZZ too!  :)
After trying a pair of Heresy IVs for a month or so I decided to keep my Heresy IIIs as they're more to my liking, so now I have the dreaded "fear of polyimide" syndrome. The mid drivers in the IIIs are titanium with a far more complex horn throat than the IVs, and I fear the new Cornballs, uh Cornwalls, would lead right into my fears (same with the Forte IV)...although I now have a much larger room to park my gear heap...the Heresy IIIs are doing fine but I had thought about Cornballs...damn...CORNWALLS to make larger sounds...now I think I'll just stay with Heresy IIIs until I get the itch for mo something...
💡Sonetime people here make zero cents.I decide not to buy Cornwall by buddy open them and says there no more than $300 part inside. Other guy rebuild whole speaker who just make good speaker with good part? Maggie make good speaker but thinking of slam to make my wife sister dance like maniac when come over.
