A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV

The Cornwall IV is so sensitive in all respects.  Source, cables, power, time of day, recording, tubes---it is so revealing of changes you make.  I won't say it's scientifically transparent.  Instead, I'd say that it's overtly shows a difference with every change you make.  That can become a game or enjoyable in its own right, and draw you away from the music.

The good news is the Cornwall IVs are clearly a musical speaker.  This translates into most swaps of gear in and out sounding pleasant in their own right.    

Here's the problem:   I can easily sit tight with the Cornwalls and any decent setup of attached kit. But it is so utterly intoxicating to hear so many different things play with the Cornwalls.  

Curiosity killed the cat.  This cat might end up in bankruptcy!

What a wonderful loudspeaker.

Would any of the owners of the current Klipsch IV lineup be so kind as to post the approximate dimensions of their respective rooms?
My next speaker purchase is going to be one from the Klipsch Heritage line (now that the Forte IV is out). I need to audition all 3, but I know my room is going to have a huge impact on which one I should buy. Also, if you could supply the distance between the speakers I’d be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance.

its not only Klipsch that get bashed, but Golden Ear as well.  The people that scream the loudest are the ones who have never heard them.

My room is 15.5' wide (measuring width from my ears to the walls) x 22' long (measuring from my head to the walls).  I have a high ceiling of 10'.

12 x 15 but this is a temporary home for them.   Speakers sound good , but room is my limitation right now.
