Still no real feedback on Cornwall IV - Any update?

I've been looking into these speakers for a while now, but besides the well-known 2 or 3 major reviews, not much feedback from owners or listeners. I wonder why that's the case. I get that horn speakers are very different from box speakers, and it doesn't suit everyone's taste. But it's been a while they've been out there, and there is really not much on various blogs and reviews I can rely on, besides comments like "wall of sound"... Any update?

There are a handful of reviews of them, from posters here, all positive.

Horn speakers are very hard to beat for rock and jazz due to the easy dynamics and efficiency.  You really should try to get in front of a set of classic JBL's or Klipsch or modern type Avantgarde and see if it suits you.  

I owned two sets of LaScala's both used.  Stock was ok but I was not that impressed and hot rodded I thought they were fairly to moderately amazing.  I own one set hot rodded and alternate between ML Summit stats and the Klipsch and love both speakers.

Don't know anything about the newer models or revisions from Klispch but if your set on new I would try to get in front of a set as they might rock you.

Have Fun

Thanks Steelhead, appreciate it. I'll try to find them at some retailer to listen to them. Avantgarde seems quite expensive, not in my league I'm afraid!I'm not convinved by electrostatics, but the Summit is a nice hybrid... I'll keep looking.VolitAudio is definitely on my list, but here again just above my price range
