Klipsch Cornwall IV

@jdmccall56 I would suggest two things.

Placement. I'm sure you already know this, but attention to detail here will reap huge benefits. I've found that not listening on axis but having the speakers firing well behind the listening position gives the most natural presentation with a huge soundstage. On axis and bad recordings get even worse.

Tubes. I know a lot of people listen to horns with SS amps, but I am a firm believer in the match of a good tube amp and a good horn speaker. I am able to enjoy 95% of all my music with the CW IV and a lot of these are not what I'd call stellar recordings. Pop music is, how shall I say it? It's Pop music, that's about as generous as I can be.

I couldn't agree more with Ozzy62. I had very similar feelings about the Cornwalls. Really honing placement made a significant improvement (Mine cross about 12 inches in front of me) but moving from all solid state  to a great tube amp made an ENORMOUS improvement.  

I have crossed them in front of the listening position with good results too. But it was only when I fired the axis behind me that I got what I would describe as excellent results.

@ bjesien I cant offer an opinion on the Orangutans based on a few shows Ive heard them at. I try to limit my comments to products I've actually owned or have extensive experience with. good luck.

After having rejected a couple of pairs of speakers recently (and another pair of well regarded speakers a couple of years ago) I have to emphasize how utterly important it is (to me anyway) to listen before you buy. The speakers I like (and currently own) do exactly what I seem to need, all the time, and they've earned their home. Curiosity has lead me astray and hey...you sometimes  learn from mistakes, although sometimes not so much. It's weird when I get excited for something new and after break-in compare them to what they are trying to replace and think UH OH...damn.
