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?

big_greg,

I was referring to what chorus said, not you. I addressed my response to you because you referred to keyboard warriors which I thought was referencing me. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hello,

I just bought a pair of Cornwall IVs. I read the previous posts and discovered the possible optimizations for these speakers. I'm going to start installing dynamax on the tweeter and midrange as well as on the structural steel sheets of the woofers. I will also put dy dynamax on the lower walls of the speakers (on the floor). Regarding the crossover could you give me the list of components to buy cgez Hificollective aix UK? Can you also specify the components to be changed on the crossover (on the image of the crossover) (I am not an electronics engineer but I know how to solder). Some have also changed the speaker terminals? thank you for your help (I live in France)

If I dropped over $6k on speakers, they had better sound pretty damn good stock.  Why anyone would spend all that money and then plan all those mods? Seems like you might be happier with a different speaker to begin with...maybe $6,000 isn't a lot of money to some people.  :-)

$6K is enough money to that I would be suddenly single if I actually spent it. And yes, @chuke076 , if I did ever drop this much on speakers, I would expect to fart around with toe-in and sucb but not actually modify any hardware. Then again, for some that's part of the fun. I get it. I'm slowly rebuilding an ancient set of Coral speakers just for fun. But those are free.
