Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer !


Being the long time Klipsch lover that I am, I find I read ( from many sources ) about the company and their speaker lines, with most of my interest in the Heritage models, home theater models, and the Cinema models ( those used in theaters, on stages, studios, etc. ) The Cornwall IV, is ready for shipment. I have been waiting years for this design to come to life, specifically, a better, and larger, mid horn, more in line with the current Lascala, and Khorn. Owning Lascalas, and being very familiar with all Heritage models, I can honestly say, in many ways, this mid horn, might, and actually is, superior to the mid horns in my Lascalas. They maybe need to be a bit wider for the LS and KH. I do not feel this way with the Forte III mid horn ( too small for the Lascala / K horn design, but I feel Roy Delgado, Klipsch’s chief engineer, will be working on a new mid horn design, for these two. Getting back to the Cornwall....There are many other new design upgrades Roy has made, and I am thrilled, as I feel, every limitation of the design ( and I do not like using that word, but everything has limitations ), has been answered. I think it will be a hot seller. 6K a pair. It is already on youtube, with an introductory review, and one coming from my old friend Steve Guttenberg, the Audiophiliac. We shall see....I predict all thumbs up....Enjoy! MrD.

I have not heard the CW 4s, but have heard the Forte 3s, and all of the other renditions of each model, before, and after, modifications. The CW 4 will have a much tighter and tuneful bass, a larger, more enveloping midrange, and a better balance and coherence throughout the entire musical spectrum. Less room interaction, due to the front only firing drivers, and, greater dynamics, as well. This Cornwall, as I have stated, will be very special......must be listened to, by anyone, wanting to possibly move up from the Forte line, and others. I just know......
Yeah, Nashua...when I walked into that place (AV Therapy?) from the back lot there was a room with 'em playing and I sat there unattended for a while soaking up some Cornball mojo. A very nice speaker to be sure. They make my Heresy IIIs seem astonishingly diminutive by comparison, but that's fine. I do prefer the control I have over bass from my 2 REL/Heresy III rig as hey, I'm a control freak who also relishes being slightly out of control. There, I said it.

Although mrdecibel said that he hasn't heard these speakers he stated the following " The CW 4 will have a much tighter and tuneful bass, a larger, more enveloping midrange, and a better balance and coherence throughout the entire musical spectrum. "
Since you have heard them do you agree with that statement?

I'm not a "Klipschophilliac" so I have no idea what Cornballs used to sound like, but from my seat in that place the new version sounded real good, as a 15" bass driver front loaded monster should...the designer (Mr. Delgado) is on a roll, and these things, like the new Fortes and Heresy IIIs, have a sophisticated coherence and accurate tonal balance for days.
